Children don't typically die at all in horror movies, but in the rare moments they do it is off camera a lot of the time. In today's society where people are offended by just about everything, they would probably be furious if there was a scene like that and it would probably create a controversy around the film. I believe several children are shot in the movie Who Can Kill A Child which is another favorite of mine.

I've been waiting for you, Ben.

The US allows more freedom of expression in movies than any country in the world. Any reluctance to show child deaths has more to do with box-office impact than censorship. Plenty of movies where children have been killed have been shown in American theaters.
