I'm definitely not short on horrific events. My concern is just with the age of the victims and the fact that I can't blame it on necessity if anyone complains: If I take it out, it doesn't alter the course of the plot... but where's the fun in that?
Welcome and keep it.
Just don't let your readers connect Atheism, burning children and possibly Timothy McVeigh together.
