DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (WPVI) -- Bucks County's District Attorney announced it's targeting the popular gaming app Roblox for failing to protect children.

He cited the case of two young girls who met a Bucks County man who disguised himself as a teenage boy.
That man convinced the girls to send explicit photos.
