What happens to unbaptized children. Surely Our Father would not damn them to hell for the failings of their parents and the society that raised their parents and their parent's parents.

Oh Lord, please do not damn unbaptized children to hell. It is too cruel a thought.

I think it's in the realm of mystery but there has been a Catholic belief in the idea of limbo: https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09256a.htm

I guess it's important to note that the idea of limbo was in hell, but because the unbaptized children had not chosen to sin of their own will, they were not thought to be tormented, only to be separated from God (which is still a big deal). But the problem is, they also didn't choose to do good, so it's hard to think heaven is a fit location for them. Baptism is also traditionally thought to remove original sin, so without that it's also thought they are not fit for heaven. But they also did not choose evil, so worse punishments are not fit for them either. So they were thought to have a specific place in hell that wasn't quite the place of bad punishment like we typically associate with hell, but nor was it the paradise of heaven.

Honestly it might simply be best to trust God is in control of the matter, and to only focus on doing what God asks of us (to baptize those we are to baptize, pray for the unbaptized, and so on)

I was arrogant to doubt, that much i have realized. God is good, God is merciful and God is fair. Christ is king, and his rule is benevolent. The nightmare that made me think about this probably was a spiritual attack.
