I'm sorry I didnt push my explanation further. I do not condone violence especially against kids, but if you issue a threat you have to be prepared to carry it to its conclusion.

I threaten to kill my kids to death all the time. They think it's funny but they also get the message.
The little hippy school the kids used to go to had "Stop Rule". Pretty much the only rule that was enforced consistently. Almost religiously. Someone says "stop!" and the offending activity had to cease immediately. Conflict resolution to follow if necessary (endless talking about feelings and crap when everyone else is rocking the sand box). The ability to understand and follow stop rule was a prerequisite for admission, and each potential student had to get several days of hippie scrutiny at school under their belt before they were officially admitted, to make sure.
"Kill you to death" is just the updated version of stop rule.
