I'd like to see a good scriptural position, rather than emotional position, on why children are exempt from judgment if they die before this "age of accountability" (which seems completely made up btw). I cannot fathom the idea of children from birth dying and finding themselves in judgment, but God didn't spare them in the examples set in the OT. If things changed due to the NT and Grace I would like to see a clear scriptural source for it.
Otherwise it just leaves even more of a weight upon parents to not live a sinful life. Their kids' will pay the price not only in this life, but in the next as well.

You are making a false comparison. What you refer to by example was not eternal judgements.
