We all make decisions in life, and everyone is motivated to act in a way they feel will benefit them, while at the same time, to avoid certain behaviors they feel will lead to harm.
The Christian who encourages their child to follow Christ in order to reap something positive, is no different from the parent who tells their child to avoid drugs. Both are motivated to protect their child and help them. No one would accuse the parent who tells their child to avoid drugs is abusing them, even if the idea of taking drugs and ending up dead or suffering is something the child fears when learning about drugs. Why? Because the intent of the parent is not to terrorize, but to protect and help the child achieve what's best for them. The parent's actions are done out of love, and the goodness of their heart. In the same way, a Christian parent does this when they encourage a child to follow Christ.
In no way can you draw a parallel that it's the same as someone putting on a mask and deliberately causing harm to a child. The intent of these "teachers" was to scare and terrify the children. The intent of the Christian is not to scare their child but for them to find peace and contentment - which was the intent of Jesus as well. And the intent of the parent who teaches their child about drugs, or murderers or the dangers of fire is not to scare them, but for them to avoid danger and actually benefit from the teaching.
Additionally, in the video, the perpetrators are in control of act - and as the perpetrators, they are outside of the outcomes - they are entirely removed from the terror they're inflicting on the child. In the case of the Christian parent, they too are subject to the same scenarios as their child. In other words, the parent must also follow Christ or be subject to a similar outcome - which again is similar to the parent who warns their child about drug use.
So your suggestion that this video is akin to a Christian teaching their child about Jesus is simply, wrong.
