Is it normal to tell children about the boogeyman?

I wanted to tell my 6 year old nephew about predators and to stay close to his parents out on public so I told him that there were boogeymen out there that would take him away. Well my sister in law said I freaked him out and to not be scaring her child. I don't think what I did was wrong.

    It's absolutely normal, you're just like me doing that, I hope you warned him that boogeymen are thieves and crooks in the night and that they'll kill you if you don't look out for them.

      At this point I'm more worried about kidnappers and pedophiles.
