I would agree with you. I'd also say that when we lash out at these pain-bringers, often it's done from a place of our own victimization at young ages. It takes time to see things from how God would have us see them. I also think that these doers of evil to children evoke in most of us indescribable hatred for their actions and especially our own impotence to stop the horrific evil that's so rampant. From my own reading, I believe that the more distance we put between God and our relationship to Him, the more of all of this evil we do and will see.
