Most people here just don't get it. An innocent childs life should not be ruined by the act of a self, evil person. It's totally wrong. Abuse ruins a person. If you don't think so you haven't been abused.
One person here is on the right track.

FREE WILL! God gives us a choice to decide our actions. God love us all and yes he also loves you even if you have not decided to love him yet. God is a patient GOD and a loving GOD. God speaks about letting the little children come to him and preaches against anyone harming these little children either physically or mentally. We are all little children but of course there are literaly little children that GOD is speaking about in the BIBLE. Harsh consequences come to those he do not obey GOD. If GOD did not let us make choices or have free will then it would be as though he was judging us or condemning us and that is not what his gift of life is about, that is why he sent his only son, JESUS CHRIST to die on the cross for our sins, so that we may have eternal life with him in HEAVEN, unfortunately there are those of us who have not yet found JESUS and asked him to be our LORD and personal savior and therefore are susceptible to the devil and the evil he brings such as stealing, killing, and destroying, and yes, child molesters fit in all of those categories.
MATTHEW 19:13-15
The Little Children and Jesus
13Then little children were brought to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." 15When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.

The faith in God and the trust in him is only to save us not to become an evil like the one you said, abusing the child! Simple faith doesn't makes sense. The application of faith, to accept and treat all as equal, to love them all, to make the life equally happy for all, is a must! We have the knowledge of good living and has devised governance of self and the society, which if followed in the lines of faith of God, there wouldn't be any evil thing to eliminate on Earth!

Why is there evil and suffering in the world?
Suffering is the result of human sin. The world is not the way that God created it and because of that, all are vulnerable to the affects of sin in the world. Why does one person suffer and another does not? Why do catastrophes happen to some and no others? It is because sin is in the world. But there will come a day when the Lord will return and cleanse this world of all sin and all suffering.
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away" (Rev. 21:4).

This is difficult to understand, I know, but the abuse comes from sin. We have our own free will, and sometimes this included being evil. It is cause and effect, there is a price to pay for being evil and unfortunately sometimes the innocent get hurt.
Believe me when I say that God will get vengeance for all these hurt children. Jesus said it would be better for us to tie a rock around our necks and throw ourselves into the river than to ever hurt one of His little ones. The people who are doing this sort of thing will pay a big price for this one day.
Take care.

Don't blame God. He warned us. It's because society has abandoned following the God Yahweh's Laws of Moses. Which if followed all this time would have made our cities a much safer place to live for everyone.

And why does this happen in an atheists eye? I would like to know. Those abusers just go on abusing until they die into a nothingness and are never accountable for their actions and those children suffer for what just to die into a nothingness. That really makes sense...
Jesus is Love!

I would have to agree with you. The problem of evil has been argued over for many many years, and the fact that evil exists is what proves to me that God does not. In order to be God, he must be all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-loving. Without all of these qualities God is not God. Evil's existance must then indicate that he is not all-knowing (he didn't know it would exist), he is not all-powerfull (he can't make it end) or he is not all-loving (he knows and has the power, but allows it to continue). Thus God cannot exist because evil exists.

Read the Old Testament. He encourages it. He particularly likes the foul act of slinging babies against rocks, but only for purposes of genocide. Now don't forget not to spare the rod.
