After all of this though I still can't help myself from asking
why do these things happen? Why would anybody allow it? Why would God allow it? I really hate admitting it but that music video that I posted on here has me doubting God and getting a bit upset with Him. That music video was based on a true story of a girl that wasn't saved in time btw.

aw.. I watched the video and read the story.
The truth is just that this is a fallen, sinful world. God doesn't always interfere where we want him to. There's been lots of times where we all probably ask God "Why didn't you stop it?"
I'll give you an example. I had a gun in my face - and worse. Much worse happened. That guy got everything he wanted, ended up wealthy, and was able to call me years and years later to rub it in my face and harass me more and degrade me for not having a home. Things like that, too, will make you question where God is and wonder where his justice is.
Seems like she wasn't saved in time, but children are innocent, and nobody with Jesus is suffering. On earth there is always suffering. It isn't always comforting to think things like that because it doesn't seem right, but we see on the ground while God has the bird's eye view. He knows who to spare from this world and bring them safe into his arms.
But it isn't so much that God allows these things or he isn't paying attention, but because he knows that this life is blink in the eye of eternity, and we are all just grass; we're here for a moment and then we wither away.
As far as the abusers go, you can see it in their eyes sometimes, it seems like it is not the person but something demonic in them that feeds a sense of power. Sometimes, while it is NOT easy.. seriously, it's not, the best thing you can do is pray for them.
