Online Child Safety in 2026: New Threats and Updates

By Deacon John O'Maley

The online world changed dramatically in 2026-and your parenting must too.

This essential guide from Catholic Deacon John O'Maley gives parents the clarity, tools, and confidence they need to navigate an internet filled with new dangers: AI-generated fake images, sextortion targeting teens, predators inside gaming chats and VR worlds, harmful viral challenges, mental-health risks, and the quiet influence of AI chatbots shaping young minds.

Drawing from the latest research, real-world examples, and pastoral experience, this book explains today's most urgent digital threats and offers practical, step-by-step solutions any parent can use-regardless of technical skill. You'll learn how to set up stronger filters and parental controls, guide your child's social media use, handle difficult conversations, build a healthy Family Media Plan, protect privacy, and recognize signs of danger before they escalate.
More than a safety manual, this is a faith-anchored roadmap that strengthens families, restores confidence, and brings God's protection into every digital decision.

If you want to raise wise, resilient, and faithful children in a world of constant screens, this is your must-have guide for 2026 and beyond.
