Skeptical of "Offering Children" (Indian Babies Dropped)

In Indian Babies Dropped 50 Feet for Good Luck in Bizarre Ritual, it's reported that parents take vows at a temple to take actions which place the health, well being, and life of their children in danger. This annual celebration is reportedly observed by Hindus and Muslims.

Compare this with the position and words of the Christian God (in regard to putting children at risk or harming them as if it were commanded or received as acceptable by Him):

They have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as offerings to Baal - SOMETHING I DID NOT COMMAND OR MENTION, NOR DID IT EVER ENTER MY MIND." (Jeremiah 19:5)[CAPS, my emphasis]
