Maltreated and abused children
HOUFOVÁ, Jana
According to the statistics there are forty thousand of battered and abused children in the Czech Republic. Maltreatment and abuse are not revealed in most cases and thus they accompany the children during their whole childhood. The reason is that children cannot defend themselves. The maltreatment or the abuse of a child is revealed only if somebody from the child?s neighbourhood observes anything suspicious and decides to report it, which is both a moral and a legal obligation. A person, who breaks this obligation to disclose such an offence, might be even awarded a criminal penalty. The objective of this paper is to survey the social environment of children in South Bohemia, where the abuse and maltreatment happen, to find out whether the objects of maltreatment and abuse are more often boys or girls, and also to find out, who is most often the oppressor or an offender. A partial objective of this paper is to explain basic terms of this issue. Recognition of CAN syndrome, surveying the regions with the highest rate of criminal offences committed against children, consequences and harmful effects of maltreatment and abuse and chances of a maltreated or an abused child to lead a full-valued life. The results of my work might help to social workers from the Social and Legal Children Protection Department in South Bohemia to reveal the criminal offences of child abuse. Social workers might focus more on the social environment of the abused children and at the same time on the offenders. This would increase the protection and professional help to the victims of these offences.

Child as a victim of domestic violence
JANŮ, Alena
Domestic violence is currently seen as a significant social problem; it is a form of violence that is widespread throughout the world, in all cultures and all social strata. Domestic violence is usually directed against women, to a lesser extent also against men or senior citizens. Children living in families at risk of domestic violence should be seen as indirect victims of domestic violence too. Domestic violence does not threaten the victims only, but also children who are present in violent incidents between the parents. This thesis, which is focused on children as victims of domestic violence, is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part explained the basic concepts in this field. In the beginning, it was important to highlight the importance of family, its essential functions and vital role in meeting the needs of all its members. Another section explains the definitions of domestic violence, the key features of family violence, its types and forms, as well as victims of domestic violence are dealt with. In connection with the focus on the child as a victim of domestic violence, the CAN syndrome is explained as an issue of maltreated, neglected and abused children. Finally, is described the possible impact of the presence of domestic violence in the family on the development and psychology of the child. The thesis also summarizes the possibility of legal protection for persons at risk of domestic violence, including interventions and assistance to victims. The practical part of the thesis processes the results obtained by quantitative research, both from the statistics of the Intervention Centre for Help to the Victims of Domestic Violence at the Diocesan Charity in České Budějovice and the data obtained from a questionnaire sent to institutions, at municipal authorities of municipalities with extended powers, for the social and legal protection of children. The objective was to find out whether domestic violence occurs mainly in families with children and what the effect of domestic violence in the family is on the child?s mental development. The region concerned was South Bohemia. Based on the data obtained, the following information was found: the total number of households with domestic violence in which minors were present, the total number of threatened children, and the impact of violence among adult household members present on the psyche of children.

Monitoring the Public Awareness of CAN Syndrome Issue
HANZÁLKOVÁ, Simona
My Bachelor Thesis consists of two parts ? a theoretical and empirical part. In the theoretical part I have briefly described the significant information related to the CAN syndrome. When compiling the theoretical part I have worked with written sources and web sites references. In the empirical part I have investigated in a questionnaire research the people?s awareness of CAN syndrome in the Town of Kolín. The questionnaire contained 16 questions, of which 8 were closed, 4 were open and 4 were semi-open. The research was carried out in January 2010. I had handed out 135 questionnaires and within two weeks received 120 of them back. The questionnaires return was therefore 88,8 %. I have illustrated the results of the research in charts. I have evaluated all the questionnaires in two ways ? from the point of the respondent?s age and from the point of their level of education. There are following two assumptions in my thesis: Assumption 1 ? The public awareness of the CAN syndrome is tied with age. Assumption 2 ? The public awareness of the CAN syndrome is tied with education. I believe the public awareness of the CAN syndrome is tolerable. My thesis may in future be used for the purpose of improving the public awareness, for instance in decisions which groups of the public should the CAN syndrome promotion be aimed at and which communication media should be used. The research has brought out that the best medium for enhancing the public awareness of CAN syndrome is the worldwide web, television and lectures for pupils and students at schools. Therefore I would concentrate in future on production of web sites offering reliable information related to the CAN syndrome, TV shows and discussions with Professional as well as attractive lectures for children and young people at schools.

Educational program for parents about violance commited on children
AUBRECHTOVÁ, Kateřina
Violence committed against children, especially physical maltreatment, abuse and neglect, is a theme which has recently been covered by media reports more and more often. It is a sad thing that in spite of a big amount of reported cases there is a lot of other ones which remain hidden behind the private household walls. Physical maltreatment, abusing and neglecting children is a very grave and interesting topic at the same time. I started being interested in it already at the secondary school. That is the reason why I have chosen this topic for my final bachelor thesis. The theoretical part focuses on family and child and their position in society. In this thesis we can find types of maltreatment, abusing and neglecting described. Further on we are getting to know the text characteristics, after - effects, victims and perpetrators of each kind of maltreatment. The aim of this work is to find problematic areas of violence committed against children where parents do not have enough information yet. The research was carried out using written questionnaire forms. These ones were handed out to parents of children attending 1st to 4th classes of elementary schools in Sazavka and Habry. In my thesis, three hypotheses have been set. The first one implies that the foreknowledge of the patents is closely connected with their age. This hypothesis has not been confirmed. The second one implies that the foreknowledge of the patents is closely connected with their education. This hypothesis has not been proved either. The last one implies that the parent who is informed should know at least one example of four essential types of maltreatnent. This hypothesis has been confirmed by the obtained results. According to answers, 87 % of parents have information on physical maltreatment, 86 % parents on psychical maltreatment, 74 % on sexual maltreatment and 33 % of parents know neglecting. On the basis of the obtained results it will be possible to make an educational programme for parents in the field of violence committed against children.
