You asked some very good questions regarding children and cancer. There are many causes, but I would like to offer one in particular, mercury, as food for thought.
Mercury is a carcinogen, and mercury happens to have been one of the ingredients in the Hepatitis B vaccine given to most of the infants in the US at birth. Introduced in 1991, the vaccine was given to an estimated 82% of the babies born in this country starting in 1996. The Hep B vaccine given to infants contained mercury from 1991 until 2002. source
The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, one of the Harvard Medical School's teaching hospitals, won an award a few years back for ridding mercury containing products.
In recent years, McCullough and others have focused on replacing mercury-containing products such as thermometers and various laboratory chemicals with safer options. Mercury is a neurotoxin that, even in extremely low levels, can affect human health; the health-care sector is considered a leading source of mercury in the environment.

If mercury, even in low levels, can affect health, what does that mean to the millions of people injected with vaccines containing the adjuvant thimerosol/mercury? It's definitely something to think about. Mercury has been linked to autoimmune diseases, but in order for your body to fight cancer it needs have a strong immune system.
Mercury in amalgam fillings is another way toxic mercury gets into your system.
Mercury from amalgam fillings also has been shown to be a factor in cancer, as well as many other chronic health conditions.

Now think about how many kids (and adults) have amalgam fillings.
edited to add: Obviously not all children and adults who are exposed to mercury get cancer. My post is to explore that this may be one cause in response to the OP's question.
