If you mean the odds of a child in the US being shot- actually, very low- and has been getting lower for several years. Some groups with a political agenda claim there are more deaths from children being shot than there are ALL deaths of children- so check your sources carefully- and see how they define "Child". Assuming child means a human under 18 years old, there about 74.5 million of them in the US (some groups consider a 26 year old to be a child) The FBI Uniform Crime Report shows 454 murders of children, with about 20% being shot. That is about 1 in 818,000. However, the odds of a child being shot goes up if you live in a high crime city, belong to a gang, or commit criminal acts.
