Why do you think god let this happen ? This 7 year old Son will be scared for life losing his dad right in front of his eyes. So tell me theists..... explain how god works in mysterious ways ?

The theists don't have an answer, they only think they do.

God gives people free will. If that free will allows people to make their own decisions, (so as people exercise there free will there will be some who choose to not believe in God) people have to take responsibility for their choices and decisions. God had absolutely nothing to do with the silly decision that made that man to try to catch the ball.
It never God working in mysterious ways it always the case of men making stupid decisions.
Your statement assumes that for God to be real he has to supernaturally intervene in each and every stupid decision people make.
You cannot blame God for peoples' stupidity. If that was the indeed the case, people would not follow God through faith, we would know the very existence of God due His constant supernatural intervention with every stupid mistake people make. I want to believe in God that I have to believe through faith and through the example of his Son, Jesus Christ being an fully human intermediary.
Think about the logic of your statement. No one would have a choice to follow a God if was actually like you think he is. This would not be faith.
Kept searching for truth. The logic of you statement suggests you are still on the way!

This was a terrible thing to happen but why blame God. God didn't tell him to reach out for that ball. He made a poor decision which cost him his life. He is the only one to blame. It's tragic that it happened in front of his little boy but if he sticks close to God as he grows up, he will see that God does have a hope in store for millions who have died to be resurrected to life again on earth in the near future.

That was truly sad, this was not God,s fault "Time and unforeseen occurrence befall us all" Ecc.9:11, This was a tragic accident, if we all could see what the future is, before it happens, we would be more careful of what we do, we are human and make mistakes. The rail needs to be higher, it's only waist high for adults, if you lean to far forward, could lose your balance.

Simple. Because the gods are having a bet, on who will do the most severe, Jesus won. He gave that guy a fighting chance, then killed him off. Hades must be really pissed off.
