My mom used to say this... a lot. lol It usually meant everything would be taken away from me... stereo, tv, phone... no going anywhere, no one to come over. And that was pure hell for a 14 yr old.

I dont know if it means they are supposedly going to "hell" or not.
Maby they want to scare the child. or then again they may just get a beating when they get home if theyre not careful...or be in severe trouble...
Have A Nice Day! :)

Obviously a mis-use of language; however maybe it conveys to the child that when they get home she/he is going to get a bit of a sampling of what the torments of Hell are like?

The child will either get a whipping or a scolding and some form of punishment.

This is a figure of speech meaning that when you get home I am going to severly punish you.

It simply means that you're in deep **** and if you wish to avoid a beating, run away.
