You're probably right, I've once or twice (from an older account) asked a user to elaborate or give specifics, after they'd made some wild claims about safety, never gotten anything.
I do know of at least one truly hideous group of people using the platform as communication and recruitment to some really horrendous (life ruining) stuff, maybe this article references that too. But again, that's a problem of sufficiently large user bases (especially of kids). Among millions of users it's mathematically not realistic to prevent every possible group in the size of dozens from congregating to attempt their awful shit. Motivated humans are good at overcoming even well-designed systems.
We're certainly right to care about safety though, and I do want to know if Roblox is less safe than I imagine.
