Well, I understand that you find the scene dark and distressing but Twilight still overcomes the situation. I believe the moral of this part of the story is something like:

"Even your closest friends can come to distrust you but if you persevere and team up with the right people, you will eventually expose the wrongdoer and recover your friends".

I fail to see what is wrong about this moral (other than actually being quite optimistic because you don't always recover all of your friends). Sadly, there are plenty of bullies and manipulators in our human world who can aim to put anyone into similar situations, even at an early age, and failure to handle such a situation properly can have tragic consequences. I don't see why children shouldn't be aware of such dangers or shouldn't know such situations can still be overcome no matter how grim they look.

Indeed this scene is darker than usual and you have full right to dislike it to your heart's content but I believe it has its place in MLP and I would even be tempted to claim it is one of those scenes that might contribute to save someone's life.
