QC Parents Debate: Video Games Not the Real Threat in School Violence
A Reddit discussion in r/Philippines argues that blaming video games for school threats is misguided, citing Chris Hansen’s live Roblox ban and local incidents like the Ateneo shooting in Quezon City. The post calls for platform accountability and parental education on cyber-extortion networks. For Quezon City residents, especially parents, this discussion highlights real online risks facing children beyond screen-time limits. It connects local tragedies like the Ateneo shooting to broader platform safety issues, urging families to understand cyber-extortion tactics. The discussion references Chris Hansen’s CrimeCon demo where Roblox banned his account live, and mentions games like GoreBox, Discord, and Telegram as spaces where predators target youth. The post advises parents to educate themselves on cyber-extortion networks rather than just monitoring screen time.
