Horrified dad found sick messages from paedo predator in his eight-year old son’s Roblox iPad game
Iain Morrison warns fellow parents after approaches while playing game made his 'stomach turn'
A HORRIFIED father found sickening messages from a paedophile predator in an iPad game - used by his eight-year-old son.
Within 15 minutes of playing Roblox Ian Morrison, 33, was told he was “sexy” and “cute”.
The father decided to check out the game - dubbed the new Minecraft - after reading a worrying article about it online.
Iain, from Hull, East Yorks, believes the game, which is aimed at children aged between eight and 12, is being used by adults looking to meet up with vulnerable youngsters.
He said: "I just had it in my head that I needed to ask the boys if they were playing on this Roblox game after reading about it online.
"They said they had it so I've said let me have a look at it.
"From the outlook it looks completely fine, you can go into different rooms and in the first room I wasn't sent anything untoward.

"Then I went in this waterslide room with a pool and immediately was propositioned.
"They said 'hi' so I said 'hi' and they asked if I was a boy or girl and my age so I said I was an eight-year-old boy.
"They asked me to follow them to their house, then into the bedroom and asked me to lay down on top of them and then they started with the sexual movements.
"They said 'you look cute' and 'you look sexy'.
"It was just sickening reading all the comments pop up. My kids were completely oblivious as to what the words and stuff meant."
Iain has now deleted the app from his 11 and eight-year-old son's iPad and has urged others to do the same on Facebook.
But his post has been met with mixed reactions and some have accused him of scaremongering.
Former footballer Iain, said: "I can imagine if I didn't watch and they kept going back to the same rooms and chatting to the same people it could be so easy for them to take it further.
"I 110 per cent think it would be so easy for these people to use the game to groom kids.
"It made my guts turn. They were talking in code but it was as clear as day to see.
"This is something I've seen with my own eyes. It's literally turned my stomach.
"I spoke to more than one of the weirdos within 15 minutes, if there's one or fifty on there I couldn't care less, that's one too many.
"There is nothing to stop adults going on there and pretending they're kids.
"The problem is my children have easily downloaded it and so I just wonder how many more kids there are out there playing it with their parents unaware."
Schools across Hull and the East Riding have also issued warnings to parents over the game.
