Sounds like you have your mind made up already, so I'll leave you to it. You probably wouldn't believe the truth anyway. I don't know why people bother posting questions like this.

all children are innocent of sin until they reach an age of accountability [when they are mature enough to know when they do wrong on purpose]. Children do not go to hell.
No I could not toss my child into a fire, tho idol worshippers did just that in the Old Testament. When a child does something wrong the parent should teach them what the right thing should have been, and correct them, teach them to say "I'm sorry".

LOTS OF STUDYING. I mean like 20-30 + years of studying. EDIT: To be a great scholar this is the amount of studying your going to have to put in, a lot of people on tv are knowledgeable about Islam but are no scholars(not even close sometimes).

A child that is not of age to know right from wrong or the Lord has not been taught is covered by God's grace. Once of age and the person is aware their sin they are accountable for what they know. Jesus is the judge of the age and the heart of the person.

We are all born sinful. That is why Jesus came to pay for our sins with his sacrificial death. Children, those who have never heard of Jesus and those who are mentally incapable of accepting Jesus are covered by God's grace. Children will not go to hell.
Yes, I love my children so much that I would die for them. That's just what Jesus did. However, if you do not accept Him as your Lord and Savior, you are not God's child. You are His creation but, not His child.
To become God's adopted child, you must be in His family. God becomes your Heavenly Father and Jesus becomes your Brother and Friend.
Hell is created for Satan, his demons and humans who do not want to go to Heaven. Hell is the only other place to go to after death other than Heaven. the choice must be yours. You are invited by God and His bride, the church to come. Revelation 22:17.

Most accept the age of accountability as being around 12/13 (bar mitzvahs are an example).
Yes, you punish your child when they do something wrong. To not do so would be poor parenting.

If you are referring literally to a child, no, children are not responsible until the age of reason. I expect that you are talking figuratively and this is my answer to that:
God love his children, all of them, just as the story of the prodigal son. It is not God's will that any go to hell. Hell is only that place where those who chose to be apart from God can go if they chose to. Any punishment that we have for sins on this earth will be dealt with by God after we die and we will learn and go on to love and follow him to heaven. Only those who exercise their free will to do otherwise will go to hell. So ... "never forsake the hope that is within you".

1) many, if not most, Christians consider the "lake of fire" to be figurative, especially considering that hell is also supposed to be a place of darkness (e.g., Job 10:21-22) and it can't be both a lake of fire and a place of darkness.
2) God can forgive all sins if a person repents of them (except blasphemy).

A person who lie to harm others and gain from others in a misleading way is sinful. More so when this liar continue to lie so confidently that lying becomes a second nature to him. And thus it will come to a state where he himself will not know what is actually right and wrong, true and false, and thus will go to hell.

It is apparent that you are doing something sinful, and rather than stop, you prefer to call God cruel and unjust. If you want to continue what you are doing, then go ahead, but don't let your rebellion become so overwhelming that now you have to call the one who is good, evil. If you believe in God, then surely you know that he has done good in your life. If you don't believe, then you have an even tougher problem.

No sane parent could throw any child into a fire. The idea is ludicrous.
Either hell doesn't exist or .....
