54. To what extent?
Is that all these hypothetical younglings are being taught? Is the threat of hell broken out for every little infraction, or for "willfulness," or for sexual actions, or what? Is it part of a larger abusive environment?

Even then, is it one parent doing the threatening, or both? Are the children being raised in a church, and if so, what kind? Are they attending religious school?

Furthermore, are you going to try and make this into an argument, as others in this thread have done, claiming that passing any religious beliefs on is child abuse? If you're not, I apologize, but that's the tone these threads tend to devolve into, which leads to questions about where religious liberty ends, and how far the government should step in.
