In Grant Morrison's seminal Doom Patrol run, he forwarded the idea that traditional children's stories and fairy tales were actually deliberately meant to traumatize children, to get them ready for harsh reality.
I believe telling small children scary stories so they would refrain from doing something particular damaging is quite common among many cultures. In Grant Morrison's seminal "Doom Patrol" run, he talks about fairy tales as a means of traumatizing children to prepare them for life.
