Seeing kids suffer is one of the many reasons I don't believe.

I think its not up to you to wonder what God would think about any person having to make such a heart wrenching decision. Now I tell you what I think of your question. You apparently have no children or you would never question such a thing as that. Because as a mother, I cannot even imagine the hell a parent has to go through when faced with such a decision.
It would have made more sense to me if you had questioned why any parent has to ever go through being faced with something like this.

God hates to see people suffer, and He understands what a sacrifice it is to the parents. He wants the child to come home to Him. If not He would heal the child. Also even if they pulled the plug. He could heal the child, and keep the child going. It is all in God's hands and in His plans.

Are you implying they are comatose or simply in pain and turmoil?
Clearly if someone is comatose and is a child, the parent should make a choice to pull the plug at some point, to avoid any kind of euthanasia it might be best to pray to God and dedicate a time at which you believe the child is lost (1, 3, 12 months, it's up to you).
If they are only in pain it is wrong, it is assisted suicide regardless of how badly they may be hurt a minute of their life may make huge difference in another's life.

I think that he would look at it as an end to suffering, and end to a horrible way to live. If that happened to one of my children, I would pull the plug. I can't see them living a good life when their brain function isn't there. It is just keeping them here for selfish reasons. I think as a parent, He would understand that. I think He would would be happy to see one of His children return to Him. If the brain isn't there, then I don't think the person's soul is still there. I think they go from this world to the next, back and forth and we keep them here, in a perpetual state of limbo. Letting them go is better then keeping them here, when all that is left is a shell of the person. I think He would understand that.

The shortest verse in the Bible, when he learned that Lazarus had died.
John 11:33-44 Jesus wept.
God knows our pain.
I hope I never have to make such a difficult decision !!!

IT will bless them for having the strength of belief to do whats best for the child when all hope is gone and let the child's soul move on.

I don't think the bible teaches keeping a person alive with artificial means. If there appears no hope, keeping them on life support serves no purpose.

IF THE CHILD IS ON LIFE SUPPORT,IT IS ONLY ALIVE BECAUSE OF MAN.
THE BODY IS STILL THERE BUT, THE SOUL LONGS TO BE WITH GOD.
THE CHILD PARENTS KNOW THIS. THE DOCTORS HAVE TOLD THE PARENTS.
GOD IS WITH THE PARENTS ,TO COMFORT THEM.
THE SAME WITH ANYONE WHO IS IN A COMATOSE STATE.
I SAY GIVE THEM FOOD-AND COMFORT THEM-
IF IT IS GODS WILL FOR THEM TO STAY .THEY WILL

I think He understands and accepts what they feel is best. Provided it is a matter of no hope and doing all that they can. Either way it is a sad and difficult situation that I hope none of us need ever face.
