Suppose I had a child (I don’t) who was misbehaving.  Rather than try to correct their behaviour by some other means, I took them out into the garden, set their favourite toy on fire and told them, ‘I love you, but if you don’t be good, that’s what I’m going to do to you.’

Would that qualify as child abuse?
