So you want to blame God because lightning struck in a area where kids shouldn't have been in the first place?
The parents allowed these kids to play where they were at risk of being struck by lightning. God had nothing to do with that. The only reason that it struck in a "child's play area" that day is because children were playing there when lightning struck. The parents didn't take them home when they should have.
If the parents would have taken them home instead of letting them play in a lightning storm then there would be no need to be concerned about where lightning struck.
