BBC News: Roblox 'gang rape' shocks mother
"A US mum has written a Facebook post describing her shock at seeing her child's avatar being "gang raped" by others in the online game Roblox.
Amber Petersen said her seven-year-old was playing the game, which is marketed at children, when she showed her the screen and asked what was happening.
She also shared screenshots, which showed two male avatars attacking her daughter's female character.
Roblox said it had banned the player who carried out the action."
It's worth noting that the BBC report doesn't include the actual screencaps, which can be found here. It also states that only "two male avatars" were involved, when there was actually also a female avatar who "physically" attacked the child's avatar. I would be very surprised if the banned player (why only the one?) is over 16, let alone over 18.
