This makes not much sense to me. Going to hell is a punishment. If you use a punishment to educate your kids then you will not punish them forever. You will punish them for a short while hoping they learn from that and will behave better in the future.
Punishing for all eternity is not reasonable especially if you love your kids. It is clearly an act of hate. So I have to agree with JCL.
It's one of the many reasons why certain religions believe you'll get many chances to relive your life, reincarnation. It has it's own set of philosophical/practical problems, but it seems they have a solution for the eternal punishment-issue.
Going by the Bible, God isn't an ever-friendly being by the way. I'm not saying he 'hates' in general, but there are parts in the Bible where he seems angry to say the least, :P
Cheers
