It views children (severely handicapped children who probably exist in a lot of pain and suffering) as a means to an end to, what, test the people around them such as immediate and extended family?
Most children are born and a few unfortunately are not. Most people can drive to work safely and some of them are unfortunately killed in an accident and so on there is an element of chance. It doesn't somehow prove prove that the universe itself was an accident/chance or God does not care. God has more to offer the people involved in these unfortunate situations than you ideology ever could offer.
Funny how when push comes to shove, god turns into a glorified psychologist rather than an omnipotent being who created everything and can change everything for the better.
Edit: I have no intentions of insulting psychologists.
