discounting holy innocents- child victims of natural disasters, war crimes, etc- probably Yes- the Child- about l2 was raped and murdered by a sex deviate- who was Allowed to Live - He got thirty to life- and crazy as it sounds- eventually got out of Prison!

ok its true but there's gonna be one. venerable antonietta meo is now running for blessedness and next is sainthood. she is only 6 years old. she is considered a mystic.

The Holy Innocents, the children killed by Herod, were all under 2 years of age. There is also Saint Cyriacus of Iconium, son of St. Julitta, who was martyred at the age of 5 or 6 by having his skull smashed in about the year 305. His mother was also a martyr. I an sure there are others. However, as of 2015, Maria Goretti t 11 years of age is the youngest canonized saint.
