The same ones who want to sing children to sleep with:
Rock a bye baby in the tree top
When the wind blows the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall
and down will come baby, cradle and all
or teach them the following bedtime prayer:
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take.
That stuff used to scare the s**t out of me when I was a kid ;)
