One of the biggest concerns is the use of artificial intelligence. Many modern apps use AI chatbots that can talk like real humans, show care, remember past conversations and respond emotionally.
For a child, this can feel like real love or friendship. The danger lies in the fact that AI does not understand consequences. If misused, it can encourage risky behaviour without realising the harm.
Experts warn that AI-driven games must have strict controls, especially when children are involved. Without regulation, such tools can be used to manipulate emotions.
Why children fall for these games
Children and teenagers are at a stage where emotions are strong and judgement is still developing. Romantic games attract them because they promise attention, understanding and escape from real-life pressure.
In the Ghaziabad case, the sisters were very close and did everything together. This strong bond may have made the impact of the game even deeper, as they shared the same online world and decisions.
Parents reportedly believed the girls were playing simple games like ludo. This shows how easily dangerous content can hide behind normal-looking apps.
