Nails, hot tar, broken glass, heavy concussions. What if they died from their injuries? Would little Kevin McAllister still be in jail now?

Well that's true of most children's stories.
Roald Dahl's kids' stuff, for example, is full of vicious, corporeal intrigue and violence. The Witches, Twits, Danny Champion Of The World, The BFG - all pretty horrific and grim. Kids love that stuff.
