Chances are, if your children are not playing Roblox, they know someone who is. The online gaming platform has become popular among school-aged children, including one Mercer Island child.

"At first I wasn’t a big fan of video games," said Erin Vivion, "but then I saw how it was helping my son socially."Vivion’s 9-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia last May. As a way to deal with treatment, she gave into his requests to delve into the world of online gaming. "There’s so much he can’t control," she said. "There are so many times when he feels like he’s not winning and treatment, it’s long and hard.

The trade is built so that the trade that benefits you fails, and the trade that benefits them succeeds, taking everything of value in your account."My son declined the trade," Vivion said. "It went through anyway. He just looked at me, just sunk, and said, ‘please don’t be mad at me, mommy.’"Vivion tells FOX 13 she tried contacting the developer but so far has been unsuccessful.Now she’s warning others about the dark side of Roblox.
