By this reasoning there is a magical window where a person is old enough to understand the consequences of their actions yet young enough for it not to be abuse. What happens at 18 to say that corporeal punishment is no longer effective and legal? By that reasoning should corpreal punishment be allowed in the workplace?

I explicitly mentioned that one is an absolutely indefensible case, the other is at least open to some form of discussion even though I disagree with any corporal punishment. But that is quite common in a wide range of countries (e.g. Mexican/Asian mothers with their slippers are infamous), so there is that.
