Let's say for arguments sake a child grows up with a father who is a pastor who sexually abuses the child and thus causes the child to reject Jesus forever.
Do you say this child goes to heaven or hell?

Jesus is the only way to heaven, it doesn't matter why or why not you don't believe in Him. If you don't you won't go to heaven.

It depends.
What will the child do, other than rejecting Jesus forever, after s/he grows up?
Does s/he goes around abusing other kids and doing all sorts of acts that is harmful to others? If so, then s/he goes to hell.
Does s/he goes around protecting other kids and is good to others and etc? If so, then s/he has a high chance of going to heaven.

In order to go to heaven one has to love God and believe in him.
I might sound cliche but, sometimes pain and sufering might help us along the way and realize it until later. We can't blame or judge God for thing that happen to us or things here on earth. That others have done to us. We all have a judgment day, he will pay for what he did, God knows what he has instore for that person. And God will recognize the suferring and turmoil, and everything that, that person has gone through. God is a God of love, love him and respect him, never say something against him, you'll regret it. If the person is thinking of going to heaven or hell, I think that person still has some respect and love towards God or at least is afraid of going to hell. A person goes to heaven or hell according to their actions, and whether or not hey are fully sorry at heart for them.
I'm sorry if this is a real case. Don't turn your back on god.

For this reason God makes it very plain to the pastor who becomes a stumbling block to a child. I know I serve a merciful God and God knows the heart and mind and conscience. I believe before the child can die that God will bring that child back to Him, because I don't believe you can separate us from the love of God if we are once His. I would not want to be that father standing before Almighty God, because Jesus truly loves children and showed how special children were to Him.

In terms of Christianity - they'd probably go to Hell. Because the Christina god gives everyone trials and tribulations to overcome. The whole ideal is to still accepts Jesus as your savior despite the trials you have been faced with.
In my opinion - the concepts of heaven and hell are BS.

At some point, a child would have to make the decision to follow Christ or not, based up on their own views, and not the warped, sick views of some jerk who is supposedly Christian. Although that person may have been really messed up, they are a sinner. I do sympathize with such a situation but hat does not make them exempt. I know people that have accepted Christ out of similar situations, realizing the warped things that happened to them are not truly what Christ stood for.

Since there is no heaven or hell, the child goes to neither.

you may answer this question your self in case you utilize good judgment. God is all understanding and all stable. He does no longer something it incredibly is UN basically. considering that a infant is thoroughly harmless of any crimes he or she might on no account bypass to hell. that is opposite to mercy and goodness which God additionally holds all of. he's maximum merciful. If he will forgive a REPENTANT sinner he will relatively discover no fault in a infant that has no longer even stepped forward a feeling of staggering and incorrect. simply by fact the very youthful or unborn no longer complicit in any crime they might no longer be charged with any. Now we are able to for this reason come to the top, fairly logicly that young toddlers and the unborn do no longer bypass to hell. As for heaven we would desire to count number as quickly as back on Gods infinite justice. on a similar time as those toddlers have achieved no longer something to benefit heaven they ought to get in simply by fact God is liberal in love and kindness. there could be a place set aside purely for them and all who have not merited heaven and not deserved hell. i do no longer understand for a actuality and opt to have self belief in Gods mercy and love. it is going to cover the harmless in peace and happiness for all eterity. it won't be able to be the beautific imaginative and prescient that the honest who worked deserve and get. it relatively is that he holds them nearer than people who worked. i do no longer understand. i understand they're going to by no potential go through in any way. This i understand simply by fact i understand that God is all stable and all basically. His justice will look after the harmless and condem the UNREPENTANT.

i believe every one will be saved in their own time, so yes the child
will still go to heaven eventualy. Eventualy the child will come to accept Jesus and his love no matter how long it takes. Hell is a myth created by evil christian leaders.

If the child dies before she reaches the age of accountability, she does. Otherwise when she is grown, she will have to accept Jesus as her personal savior, like the rest of us.
