   You are misunderstanding the physics.  There is no force pulling   
   the child out.  A force is required to keep the child in (on the   
   curved path).  In an inertial frame the child is following a straight   
   line (until she hits something and gets hurt), therefore there is   
   no force on the child.  It is only in the rotating frame (a   
   non-inertial frame) that there is a "fictitious force" pulling   
   outward. The physics is perfectly consistent, you are having a hard   
   time understanding it.
