Summary
One in five children will encounter unwanted sexually explicit material online, Lauren Book said as families head into a summer of heavier internet use.
Book, founder of Lauren's Kids and a former Florida senator, urged parents to update passwords, set clear online boundaries and turn on parental controls.
June's Internet Safety Month is being used to push ongoing family conversations about digital risks rather than one-time warnings.
The advice comes as school is out and children are spending more time online, increasing exposure to hidden internet dangers.
