For the chequered history of the Maltese Language has developed painfully over centuries but progressively until it reached the point of no return traversing multiple stages, not only those of customary law (legal) and statutory law (legislative), but has anchored itself in Malta’s fundamental law – the Constitution of Malta.

This has taken several forms such as criminalising physical abuse of minors, paedophilia and sexual abuse of all sorts, protection from cinematic and theatrical productions through watersheds, film and stage classification of productions, parental control on television sets, etc. Nobody doubts that the various mechanisms that the law affords for child protection are essential. Nevertheless, minors are not as safe as much as we want them to be. 2025-09-01T00:00:00Z
