Not because god failed. No.
Tell you what: your god didn't fail because he doesn't exist. If he did exist, that above scenario would then apply, in which case he wouldn't be a god that anyone should grace with a second of thought, a word of prayer, or an ounce of sacrifice.

As i said earlier. God gave us the ability, the material and the method to solve all our problems.Obviously, a three year old child has neither the ability, nor the material or method to solve her problems. That sentence of yours implies that she chose to sit in a trash bag in her own shit.
Then obviously problems will happen. Not becuasegod failed. No . Because we failed to solve the problems.Yes, the parents obviously failed. Perhaps child services failed, because they are - contrary to your god - neither omnipresent, nor omniscient, so perhaps that case went under their radar. But one person who was obviously not at fault was that little girl, yet she had to go through the horrific abuse, with an omnipresent god being there all the time, an omniscient god knowing what was going on and knowing beforehand what would happen, given that he knew (omniscient) of the parents' depravity, and an omnipotent god doing nothing to interfere with the abuse - because that would supposedly spoil the test.

Now god can stop it from happening and knew full well its happening. But how could humanity be tested if everytime something happeneds god will interfere and solve it.So if I see someone assaulting the old granny on the street, I'll go my merry way and do nothing, because if I interfere and solve the problem, then the attacker wasn't tested. No? If I and every decent human being would interfere to stop a crime from happening, I would apply the same standard to a supposedly all-benign being. A god who doesn't interfere at all is as useless as if he didn't exist.
Why will there be punishment and reward god will do all the work for us.And I don't believe in a punishment/reward system in some unproven afterlife. Even if it existed, I wouldn't want to be rewarded by a creep who put me through hell while I was alive. I'd tell him to stick his reward where the sun doesn't shine.
If we expect god to do everything for us and us not doing anything whats the difference between us and some pet animals ?Since the difference between us and some animals is our intellect, how about not wasting his and our time with these S/M games and use it constructively? If god was interested in us simply exploring and caring for his creation, he could just have constructed us differently, with a different hormonal and instinctual setup. After all, he's omnipotent, right?
And when we disobey his orders. In this life it is benificial forsome of us. Although harmful to others but we simply dont care. And thats not god's fault. Thats our fault.What about natural disasters? Did America get hurricane Katrina because the gays were getting too uppity?
And btw. No. There are some people who dont get pnuished or trialled by god which includes kids.That three year old would disagree with you - if she wasn't so traumatized that she's mute.
