At least the children had the opportunity to see others question their parents' beliefs, even if the events do not register in their minds immediately. Perhaps sometime in the future they will remember enough to start the questioning themselves. The incident cannot be forgotten, especially now that it has been publicized and that a written record exists.
The society surrounding them will also have the opportunity to influence the children, directly or indirectly. If their "church" consists of 10 people, at some point they will have to interact with the outside world.
It is unfortunate that the children cannot be taken away from their parents on abuse grounds simply because they are being taught to hate. There are people on this planet who should not be allowed to take care of little ones.
