That is truly horrific. I honestly cannot stand to hear about things like this because it makes me realize what our world can be often. As for God letting it happen, that is a little ridiculous to say in my oppinion. As others have said before me, God gave us free will. He cannot right every wrong in this world, we have the will to do that ourselves. We also have the will and choice to ask God for help on making a decision or doing something.
