This is so sad. But these people had a choice on weather to bring a child into this world. This is an age old problem from the beginning of time that spans the entire globe. Can you love a child enough to NOT bring it into this world to see it starve and be beaten, raped and abused? Are you wise enough, moral enough not have sex or unprotected sex or will you continue to be selfess and give in to your primal needs and watch your child die of starvation.
As far as how God allows it. Lets take the blame ourselves here and not heap it onto a God we created to help us make it through the day because of fear and confusion.
And which God, the sun God, moon God, Allah, Budda, Zeus?
We humans blame everyone but ourselves.
