Roblox CEO Deflects While Predators Hunt Children

When David Baszucki gets questioned about child predators on his platform, he smiles, deflects, then calls people uncovering the problem “Vigilantes”.

That tells me everything I need to know about where his head's at. When children's safety is on the line, a CEO should treat every question with absolute seriousness. They should immediately ban harmful individuals, encourage users to report abuse, and be asking for FBI involvement.

Instead, Baszucki collected a $232.8 million compensation package while games titled "Escape to Epstein Island" and "Diddy Party" operated on his platform.

The Hush Money Theory

I believe they figured out how to pay him enough money to buy his silence or cooperation. How else should we interpret a quarter-billion-dollar payday for a CEO who can't keep kids safe on his own platform?

The Louisiana Attorney General's lawsuit shows just how horrifying things really are. Games featuring "simulated sexual activity such as child gang rape" somehow passed Roblox's safety review. A "Public Bathroom Simulator Vibe" game operated freely while Baszucki earned 1,680 times more than the average Roblox employee.

This creates a damning financial contrast. Massive executive compensation while minimal investment in protecting the children who generate that wealth.

Intentionally Broken Guardrails

The evidence suggests Baszucki likes things this way. He intentionally left the guardrails off to let predators do whatever they want.

Consider the backwards logic. YouTubers who expose child predators get banned from Roblox. The company claims these "vigilantes" create an "unsafe environment for users." They protect the bad guys and silence the good guys.

People have been talking about this problem for years. It just took someone with a big enough audience to actually shine a spotlight on it. The problem was hiding in plain sight while Roblox's "safety team" either ignored it or actively enabled it.

In 2024 alone, Roblox submitted 24,522 reports to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Nearly 25,000 incidents of potential child exploitation occurred on Baszucki's watch. That's almost 70 cases every single day.

Three Damning Possibilities

Roblox's safety team falls into one of three categories: useless, apathetic, or co-conspirators. They have done such a poor job that the narrative now belongs to the public.

When YouTuber "Schlep" reports active child groomers to Roblox, the company "often takes a long time to suspend them, or simply ignores the reports altogether." But when these same YouTubers expose the predators publicly, Roblox acts fast to ban the whistleblowers.

This reveals the company's true priorities. They respond quickly to protect their reputation but slowly to protect children.

A Livingston Parish police case demonstrates the real-world consequences. They arrested a Roblox user suspected of possessing child sexual abuse material who used "voice-altering technology to mimic a young female's voice" to lure children. This predator operated openly on Baszucki's platform while the CEO collected his quarter-billion-dollar payday.

The Sympathizer Question

Baszucki's pattern of behavior suggests he might be a sympathizer with the sick individuals who seek to harm children. Either that, or he's personally too weak to address the issue head-on, or simply apathetic to the situation.

The smile-and-deflect response when confronted about predators suggests someone who has made peace with the current system. Someone who benefits from maintaining the status quo.

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill accused Roblox of creating "an online environment where child sex predators thrive, unite, hunt and victimize kids." That's not accidental. That requires systematic negligence at the leadership level.

What Real Accountability Looks Like

In my personal opinion, the company should be fined, bankrupted, and shut down. I would also like the CEO to be investigated personally.

When a company's internal safety mechanisms fail this spectacularly, and they punish the people who did their job for them, executives who presided over this system deserve consequences.

Real leadership would mean FBI involvement, encouraging whistleblowers, and immediate action against predators. Instead, we get corporate PR and quarter-billion-dollar compensation packages.

The market is finally responding. Roblox shares fell over 6% as lawsuits mounted. Shareholders are waking up to what parents should have seen all along.

But financial consequences aren't enough. When children face predators, CEOs should panic, not smile. They should sacrifice profits for safety, not collect record paydays while kids get hurt.

David Baszucki has shown us exactly who he is. We should believe him.
