Nope. Won't happen. Jesus Promises, and He never breaks His Promise (Joshua 21:45; Lamentations 2:17; Ezekiel 12:28; etc).
Withhold not correction from the child:
for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
Proverbs 23:13

Clearly her parents lacked faith and were therefore still living in a state of sin. Jesus doesn't listen to the prayers of sinners (John 9:31).

While all mankind is born in a state that deserves death (Romans 6:23), Jesus is Merciful. However, there are a number of transgressions He will not tolerate and so formally calls for punishment by execution. For example, He commands capital punishment for people who don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); witches (Exodus 22:17); homosexuals (Leviticus 20:13;Romans 1:24-32); fortunetellers (Leviticus 20:27) kids who hit their dads (Exodus 21:15); kids who curse their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); adulterers (Leviticus 20:10); non-Christians (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); atheists (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); false prophets (Zechariah 13:3); the entire town of one who worships another god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); non-virgin brides (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); and blasphemers (Leviticus 24:10-16).

We don't support the
book, dear. The LORD supports
us (John 10:28), that is, when and if we first show our love (John 14:15). Those who don't show their love will be damned. This is the Good News we're trying to tell you! You don't have to be damned! All you have to do is let Jesus protect you from His Divine Justice by dedicating yourself to His Service! Easy-Peasy-Rice-and-Cheesy!
