“Mae ein dealltwriaeth o’r hyn sydd ei angen i amddiffyn a chefnogi plant a’u teuluoedd wedi newid yn aruthrol dros y blynyddoedd. Mae’r hyn sy’n dderbyniol mewn cymdeithas wedi newid oherwydd hynny. Nid yw’n dderbyniol bellach, mewn cymdeithas fodern a blaengar, i gosbi plant yn gorfforol. Fel Llywodraeth, peth cwbl briodol yw gweithredu i amddiffyn plant a chefnogi rhieni i ddefnyddio cosbau amgen, sy’n gadarnhaol ac yn effeithiol.”
“Our understanding of what is needed to protect and support children and their families has changed considerably over the years, and societal norms have changed as a result. It can no longer be acceptable in a modern and progressive society for children to be physically punished. It is right that as a Government, we take action to protect children and support parents to use positive and effective alternatives to physical punishment.”
