Why do you also seem to conclude that God has judged all children who have had no opportunity to "have the Son" while on earth? Are we so sure that they have no opportunity to believe in the after life?
I Peter 4.6 says that the gospel was "preached also to the dead." It seems to me that no one perishes without the opportunity to first believe the good news of the Savior, and "have the Son" for eternity.

Here is a beautiful testimony I saw the other day that supports this, Ohio.

The young man in this video died at the age of 15, I believe. Jesus spoke to him and he was allowed to choose at that crucial time. His story displays Gods mercy toward us, toward children. According to the boys' testimony, he was not a believer before his accidental death.
