I grew up on Hans Christian Anderson tales and The Brothers Grim. I heard the version of Little Red Riding Hood where the grandma is eaten by the wolf.
Did these tales do me any harm?
Some stories need to have a cautionary tale. "Be careful in the Woods because a wolf might eat your picnic" certainly isn't that applicable in real life - there are other reasons IRL to be cautious if you are in woods alone...
