On February 19, 2026, Roblox announced its inaugural Global Parent Council. Eighty parents from thirty-two countries, hand-selected, meeting quarterly to "share insights and perspectives" and "advise on products, policies, and partnerships." There is a Head of Parental Advocacy with a doctorate. There is a companion programme called Parent Champions. The press release uses words like committed, empowered, co-creating, safe.
If you are a parent who has been worried about Roblox, this announcement is designed to make you feel heard.
I need you to sit with what I am about to say next, because it matters. Listening is not the same thing as changing. And this announcement changes nothing structural about how Roblox works.
