This is my take on the LoA and young children - I don't think any of them intend to be abused, but it's what they focus on predominantly.
Say a 10 year old kid - at the age of 4, something happened to make her afraid of disease (maybe she heard a story from a friend, maybe she saw a movie, maybe the neighbour died of something), and it's her dominant thought for a long time and it hits her after a few years.
Or maybe its a seed that they planted a long time ago and since they've never counter-acted the bad seed with some good thoughts, it manifested. Just a single thought, perhaps, can manifest something unless it's counteracted by a good thought.
I used to wonder where AIDS came from - if the people who first got AIDS never heard of AIDS, how did they manifest it? Most likely they weren't thinking of AIDS, but they were thinking of death or disease, and AIDS was what they got.
It's similar to the way good things manifest. Like how a lot of teachers say don't specify HOW you want your gifts to manifest, the universe will take care of the HOW. They say it's better to intend a million dollars, then to intend a million dollars via one specific source. So, even though they don't intend disease or abuse, they might be focused on unhappiness, and thats what the universe gave them.
