If theism disappeared completely there would still be the unfortunate and cruel deaths of children.

Very true, but it would be much harder for anyone to whitewash the reality of such horrors, which may behoove people to do more about it than they now are to prevent more of these attacs on children by disease or by other humans from ever happening.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
