00:00The girl in this picture is Tara Sykes.
00:03Her entire case happened in America, but it could very easily happen in any of our homes.
00:12Why?
00:13Because of a game that pretty much every household with a child has Roblox.
00:20The details of this case are deeply disturbing and require us to pay close attention to our children.
00:27Aidan and Sophia have been married for 11 years.
00:34They have a 10-year-old daughter named Amelia and just two months ago, they had another baby girl.
00:42Their life seemed stable, peaceful, and problem-free.
00:48They lived in a quiet neighborhood in Florida, surrounded by family.
00:53Amelia, like any 10-year-old, was obsessed with online games.
01:00Especially Roblox, a game my own son and many of my friends' kids play.
01:06This kind of jealousy can happen.
01:23See became constantly distracted, lost in thought.
01:27Or do you love the baby more?
01:29Then she'd go back to her room and shut the door.
01:34Two weeks passed like this.
01:36Then one night, Sophia was in the kitchen and heard a loud thud upstairs.
01:43Silent and terrified, Sophia grabbed the baby and rushed to the hospital.
01:49The baby was taken into intensive.
01:53Aidan arrived at the hospital, confused and panicked.
01:57When police got involved, the parents said Amelia had always been a well-behaved child, never violent.
02:07She said she chose the easiest way to get rid of her sister.
02:12Because she loved her parents and wanted them to stay alive.
02:17Originally, Sophia realized her daughter was mentally spiraling.
02:23What did she mean, she was now threatened?
02:28Aidan reported this to the psychiatrist.
02:32After hearing from Amelia.
02:35House on fire at night.
02:38She would leave the house before everyone burned to death.
02:43Police realized they were facing a real end.
02:46Immediate danger, Amelia couldn't have made all this up.
02:50The messages started about six weeks ago from someone named Sykes.
02:57The language and tone in the chats clearly weren't from a child.
03:02The person sounded like an adult, their writing.
03:06Logic, threats, everything suggested a much older person.
03:11And everything Amelia said checked out of the person behind.
03:16The Sykes account knew intimate details about their family, their house, and the newborn baby.
03:25The messages included explicit instructions to kill her parents.
03:30When Amelia said she couldn't, she was told she must kill her sister or she herself would die.
03:37From a distance, a 36-year-old woman with three children.
03:44Her behavior had always been a bit strange, especially after a recent incident.
03:52Digging deeper, police learned something disturbing.
03:56Instead of pressing charges.
03:59Ties with her.
04:00So Tara decided to take revenge on every family who judged or shamed her.
04:16Then she told her about a new game, a mission, and said if she didn't follow through.
04:24She or her family would die.
04:26Eventually, Tara was arrested.
04:29At first, she denied everything, but investigators found the chats between her and Amelia.
04:38She was charged with incitement, murder, and child abuse.
04:43Aiden and Sophia were devastated.
04:47They finally understood the strange behavior they had noticed in Amelia.
04:52We live in an open world now.
04:55We don't always know who our children are talking to or what they're being told.
05:02We might not be able to stop them from playing.
05:06Alert.
05:08May God protect our children.
05:11Peace be upon you.
