Theres alot of questions latley pointing out the killing of women and children in the Bible, such as the flood, or the Prophecy in Isaiah.
God gave them warnings, a chance to repent, and yet people, knowing that they were acting against God, decided to ignore it. And yes, their children died, for the choices THEY made. The parents themselves, by ignoring God, brought death to themsleves and their families.
God gave them a chance, were they not personally responsible for what happened? They had an out, they didnt take it.

People ultimately are responsible for the actions they take. We are all beings that have a mind and should be able to use it. The problem is you are going to see those type of examples in a world where its easier to shift blame then to take the responsibility.
It's so much easier to shift the blame saying I was abused, or this happened to me, so feel sorry for me. In this way the person becomes a victim and the blame and responsibility is shifted to another source. This creates an endless cycle as the blame just keeps getting shifted. In doing so those originally responsible often get sympathy and their deeds will not seem so bad to many.
Personally, its tiring to consistently see someone push the blame away that way. We as people are individuals and ultimately responsible to what happens to ourselves. If you are strong enough to shirk your responsibility to others or yourself, then you should be strong enough to say, "Yes, I'm responsible."
However this type of blame game will continue as long as society allows it to and thus is shifted to the deeds of the past.

Very good point. Also in soddam and gommorah the whole place was turned to salt by their sin. Choose God or suffer the consequences...it won`t be human justice but divine when you go before God...there is no defence lawyer since God will play back all your sins for you for all to see...and He will judge after He has asked you to account for the gift of life He gave you.

Many of the people judged were baby sacrificers, baby burners. Very cruel conquerors to the conquered.
Yet when God punishes by death, it is His actions that are questioned.
His qualities are Love, Wisdom, Power and Justice.
Yet when he uses his power to administer justice, people accuse him of losing his quality of love.
Soon He will send his Son to end this wicked world, and I'm sure not going to judge how he does it. I just hope I live through it into the new earth.
Mat 5:5 "How blessed are those who are humble, for it is they who will inherit the earth!

Yes, each person makes a choice, whether they want to admit that or not is irrelevant. Man brings about their own destruction. God gives all people the chance to come to Him. It's everyone elses fault , but their own..that is a sign of the times.

People of biblical time were like people today, they want to blame someone else for the consequences of their own actions. Look at how irresponsible we are, we sue a company because we spilled hot coffee on ourselves or we ate too much at their restaurant. We blame them for our screw ups. That's just ignorant, yet we do this kind of nonsense every day. Do you really think biblical people were smarter?

Yes, they were definitely responsible for what happened.
God is longsuffering not willing that any should perish. Just look at the flood. Noah preached 100 years and no one repented. Boy, did they ask for it!!!
