Why the arbitrary capitalization of "Violations of their Sovereign Person"? Are you living in the Romantic Era?
Anyone who casually assaults children deserves to be held accountable to the law.
I would assume the best lesson for children would be conflict resolution; common courtesy; understanding the law; basic self-defense, perhaps; or how to make a citizen's arrest.
It's difficult to get the idea of a bullet in the brain across to children who get conflicting messages from pretty much every other area in life besides adult entertainment and local news.
