Michelle Martinez told ABC 4 that she first heard about the game when her son mentioned it. According to her, he had accessed the game while at school.

Martinez said that she avoided asking her son further questions about Five Nights at Epstein’s because she had yet to have a discussion with him about the sex offender.

“I hadn’t had the conversation with him yet, or talked to him about situations like that yet,” she told the network. “It absolutely disgusts me and breaks my heart that our children are subject to this, especially in this day and age.”

“What did you do at school today, Bobby?”

“I played a funny game called Five Nights at Epstein’s. See the joke is that, as everyone including me is well aware, Epstein—“

“They let you do what? Well, say no more. Rather than have a conversation with you, I’m going straight to the press and am telling them that I, Michelle Martinez, am personally offended about this game I haven’t asked you a single question about.

“Don’t worry, Bobby! I won’t stop until all your friends, your friends’ parents, their neighbors, hairdressers, and strangers around the world all know that the son of Michelle Martinez got confused and couldn’t stop crying over a game they found at school.“
