So if your a mental midget and you don't know the difference between right and wrong, you can't be held responsible for your actions in your own eyes.. thus God wouldn't punish you for your wrong doings.

You are both giving God much more credit than he deserves, and ignoring the bible....
?Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land? (2 Kings 17:26).
There's your answer to the original question; it is God's will that the Godless child be put to the lions as with all who know not Him.
I don't know where you people got this crazy idea that the Judeo-Christian God is a caring and loving god. Here's just some of the evil things your "loving god" has done. They are right from the bible, so they can't possibly be wrong:
Exodus 12:29 The Lord kills all the first-born in the land of Egypt.
Exodus 17:13 With the Lord's approval, Joshua mows down Amalek and his people.
Exodus 7:1, 14, 9:14-16, 10:1-2, 11:7 The purpose of the devastation that God brings to the Egyptians is as follows:
to show that he is Lord;
to show that there is none like him in all the earth;
to show his great power;
to cause his name to be declared throughout the earth;
to give the Israelites something to talk about with their children;
to show that he makes a distinction between Israel and Egypt.
Leviticus 26:29, Deuteronomy 28:53, Jeremiah 19:9, Ezekiel 5:8-10 As a punishment, the Lord will cause people to eat the flesh of their own sons and daughters and fathers and friends.
Numbers 11:33 The Lord smites the people with a great plague.
Numbers 16:27-33 The Lord causes the earth to open and swallow up the men and their households (including wives and children) because the men had been rebellious.
Numbers 16:49 A plague from the Lord kills 14,700 people.
......
And I suppose I could go on but how much more proof do you need that God is one nasty piece of work?
