Technically this being is already defined as allowing for things he doesn't want to happen benefit(at least benefit in the short run) those who act in these negative ways.

Always seems to be the chlidren who suffer most in these situations, which is inherently unfair. I was under the impression we were supposed to raise them, nurture them, look after them etc.. not kill them.
Technically the weak will always suffer. These people who do this believe the same things, they just think that part of nurturing and looking after them is protecting them from evil. To even attack their framework in the manner being attempted here cannot work without the context of their theology though, they already reject the premises upon which you build many of your arguments against their ideas therefore to them you speak nonsense.
