Sorry to hear of such horrific news. I can't imagine what that little boy will have in store for him and I whole heartily agree with your thoughts.

Tough question. I try to have faith in God. And, many times in my own life, I didn't understand why something happened, only to see later that it really was for a purpose. So, in most cases, I subscribe to the idea that everything happens for a reason.

However, there are those tragedies in life ... the death of a young child for example or situations like the one you describe ... where I just can't see the purpose. I've asked many priests and pastors through the years to tell me what they thought about this. I've yet to receive a good explanation.
