What if God had stopped this horrible thing and the child grew up to be a non-believer and live an eternal life in hell. Seems to me the short life of this poor child brings him into a greater life for eternity.
Now to address this from an evolutionary point of view. You believe there is no God, so this means that evolution is at fault in making defaulty people. What kind of reasonable evolution is going on that would cause a specie to kill off it's own self and all the others around it. No other species does this and we're the one called the most advanced, of coarse we have labeled ourselves. Never in all the supposed millions of years of evolution has this happened, so ask yourselves why now, does this make the least bit of sense?
The way I see it the all loving God wanted this child to live in heaven forever, and evolution just doesn't care about it's most advanced effort, of coarse evolution cares for nothing. I personally choose God, why because this is a short life, eternity is where it is.

As much as it disgusts me, I was kind of hoping one of our neighborhood apologists would swing through here and demonstrate why god-centered thinking is the most odious folly man has ever contrived. Thanks...I guess...
If Gaud really wanted this child to live in heaven forever, knowing that the father was going to behave this way toward it, he could have just caused the child to be stillborn or something. If his plan consciously involved the suffering in this kid's life, then he's a monster not worthy of worship. Pure and simple.
And yes, evolution has produced various species that later ate or bred themselves out of existence. Spotted owls spring to mind, but they're not the only example. Coyotes and wolves have started interbreeding in some places, which could eventually lead to the disappearance of one or both species in those areas in favor of a newer, more competitive one. Change is the only constant.
Regardless of how you see it, that child is gone forever, and all he ever knew was pain. The fact that you can simply console yourself with a thought like "Oh, he's in heaven now," is completely revolting and all too common.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
