As an atheist I would not put blame on a being that doesn't seem to exist. I find most morality to be subjective and not objective. Pedophilia, in a basic psychological sense, is the result of cultural differentiation. Even today most indigenous tribes practice what we refer to as pedophilia in modern civilized societies. Therefore the morality behind this action is subjective, but I think the reason modern societies see pedophilia as an immoral behavior is due to the knowledge of human anatomy and development. In modern society we know the consequences that result from sex with an underage human and because of the negative effects we look at it as immoral and revolting, whereas the cultures that don't have access to the medical knowledge don't see it any differently than I would see being sexually active with an adult female. I don't endorse pedophilia by any means, i'm just simply giving reason as to why we see it as immoral and others do not.
If the question is, "Why would god not prevent the sexual immorality of pedophilia" then my answer would be, that god is a man-made construct. However, most Christians would probably say, "out of context!" or "God's world was perfect, it's because of our sin that we have immorality."

I used to pray... but then I realized I could talk to myself and save 10% too. Who wouldn't go for that?
