A Child as an Active Internet User and the Sphere of Parental Surveillance
Bláhová, Barbora ; Slavíček, Daniel (advisor) ; Charvát, Martin (referee)
My diploma thesis deals with the phenomenon of the internet and parents' supervision, particularly how parents supervise their children who are the active users of the Internet.
