Do Mormon parents have the right to lie to their children in the form of beliefs and reinforce those beliefs with anger and violence to show that evil is real?

No, that is false. This question contains a common misconception about Mormons. First, I am not Mormon, nor am I an apologist for their religion. But I have known many Mormons over the years and have observed them as parents. I find no evidence that they are lying to their kids. What they are doing is what ALL parents do: sharing the parents' belief system with the children. Just because you and I are not from their religion does not mean what Mormon parents are teaching is a lie. Mormon parents deeply and sincerely believe in their religion, and they want to share it with their kids. Years later, their kids may remain Mormon (and most do), but they may also decide to seek another path, and that happens sometimes too.
But I am troubled by your assertion that Mormon parents are abusive to their kids. I'm a professor, so I see a lot of studies. I have seen none that make the assertion that Mormons are more abusive to their kids than other denominations are. In fact, we can find abusive parents in just about every religion, sad to say. Parents who use religion as a weapon to bully their kids are bad parents; but the fact that they are Mormon does not mean the religion itself encourages such behavior. It does not.
