Why would any Christian tell a child he/she is a terrible sinner and deserving of an eternity of fiery torment? No Christian denomination that I know of believes that that child is accountable for their sins until some "age of accountability" where they can understand such things. Only God could know when a person is to be culpable for their sins. In some cases, a person's mental disabilities might prevent that from happening their whole life. 

The rest of your reasoning is nonsense and your conclusions faulty.

Please quote Bible chapter and verse were it is mentioned that a child is not accountable until some "age of accountability".

It is inferred if rejection of God is the sin that sends you to hell, that if you are not old enough (or otherwise capable) to hear and understand the message in order to reject it, a person cannot be guilty of it. That is not to say that children do not have sin natures (anyone who has had a child knows that well enough).
