It's upon the kids to tell their parents when it's not ok anymore.

It's abuse when a parent isn't punishing a child justly, rather taking out anger on them.

I agree with that wholeheartedly. The responsibility of abuse, lies not only on the parents, but also on the child. If you're seriously abused, speak out to someone, call for help, don't just 'take it like a man' when you can barely stand on your own two feet.

With most parents, they punish in hope to discipline their children for the better. Though that may not be effective for some parents, for some others, it's very effective.

I was raised with firm hands, and I dare say I've experienced belts, shoes, yard sticks, brooms... etc. But I don't consider myself to be a person who's prone to violent outbursts.

In fact, I'm so stubborn, that I think if my parents hadn't punished me the way they did, I would turn out to be such a menace, no good to anyone.
