Why isn't the death of babies depicted at nativity scenes?

Matthew 13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”
 14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”[c]
 16 When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi.

What a disgusting story. The all powerful almighty Abrahamic God just sat by and allowed this to happen? My son is being born and I'll just sit around and do nothing. Why doesn't God care? Why is God powerless in this instance? Where is the uplifting moral in this story?

It's easy as  to why the Abrahamic God did not intervene. Invisible imaginary friends who reside in space never do anything for us. They are simply invisible imaginary friends who people claim lives somewhere, out there.

I'm convinced, are you?
