If some pervert kidnapped, raped, and murdered your child, would you want him to get life in prison w/o parole

No. He would deserve the Death Penalty! Go, Texas!

Protecting your offspring is a very strong natural urge. Could I kill to protect my daughters? Yes, Probably before I could kill to save my own life.\n\nElizabeth, I agree with you about the perverts. I never could understand how many pedophiles actually make it to trial. If it was my child I'd hunt them down and they should pray the cops find them first because I would not let them have a quick and easy death!!

I think they should be put with other prisoners. The pedophiles will get repeated first hand experience on what it's like for their victims. The child killers will get the same. The benefit for both being that it'll all be done free of charge by the other inmates.

Yes you should. I take it you have never been to jail before. Its not a pleasant place. There are other ways to teach someone a lesson. That 's just cruel. Sorry.

I would say it does, but unfortunately our laws do not. Let me rephrase. I would say the person deserves to die. It is often what happens, because the abuser is crazy and the person being abused know that if they send the person to jail, they will still get back to them someday. Why should they live everyday in fear? In that respect I wouldn't call it murder, since murder is killing without just cause. I would call it retribution.\n\nThen again, I've never been in the situation. Maybe killing the person is far worse than anything they could have done. But like other subjects, people always rant and rave about what's right and wrong, and think they know, until they get put into that position. So I would say it's between you and God and the person being killed, but I surely wouldn't judge someone or call them sick for doing so. I would actually feel terribly sorry for the person being abused because it would have gotten THAT bad AND they will have to live with killing  someone they and their baby loved.\n\nVery good question. Not something you think about everyday! It's difficult to answer for sure, just being honest.

As a parent, I think it is a great idea. I think offenders should be put to death after the first conviction. JR.

Yep, I think there should be a law that if you are guilty of aggravated assault on a child under 10 you should get the death penalty.  It seems like other crimes ie murder, drug etc under specific circumstantces I could be capable of these things, and I think I am a reasonable human being but child molestation? I don't have in me to do that. People that do are special type a of deviant. Some will say that they can't help it or that its similar to homosexuality, meaning that it was considered against nature until recently and that people can not help who they are 'attracted' to. But this is bulls hit; children will never have the mental matureness to consent to sex. Adults do. They have free will and should make appropriate decisions.  Castration is an option but there are plenty of ways to violate a child without a penis. Life terms, what's the point, just wasting money, and rehibilatation does not seem to work. I wish everyone would stop being so PC and bending over backwards protecting the civil rights of criminals. As a society we need to protect our weakest members. A day doesn't pass by that I don't read about a child molestation somewhere in America, the more we hear about it the more normal it seems and this is a dangerous place to be as a 'civilized' nation.

I would imagine that would be possible if you were to show that the parents are incapable or unwilling to care for the child and provide a safe environment.  It would probably be a long, slow process; however, if the child is in an abusive or drug oriented situation, it would be worth the effort to protect the child.  Unfortunately, it may depend on a judge and we have seen lately how they rule on a lot of cases against people who should be in prison.

Would you want to raise a child concieved by rape?  Would you be able to, without having animosity towards him/her?  In this case, I have to answer yes.
242620
Yes.  Not for revenge and not for the purpose of being a deterrant, but simply because human life is so precious that there can be no other penalty to a murderer than to have their life taken from them.  Life for life.

It depends if Children Services has an open case on her. If they do and she takes the child they can get her for kidnapping.

I would let them know they would eventually be caught via Forensics and they would suffer the rest of their lives in Prison. Something is always left behind.

Violent rape and child molestation deserve the death penalty, though I'd settle for life sentence.\n\nRight now we have sex offender lists to protect the public against these people who have been let out of prison. What kind of sense does this make? \n\nWe make the lists because they are still dangerous; but if they're dangerous, why are they out of prison?\n\nI say, just kill them all. Problem solved.

It depends...  If my neighbor were trying to kill people or rape his daughter, I would probably force my morals on him and try and stop him.

No.  Paedophiles admit themselves that they will reoffend.  They can't help themselves.  It's an overwhelming desire within them that drives them to such monstrosities.  However, it is possible that they are repentant, and that prison is extremely unmerciful for Paedophiles.  As such, they should be released from prison after their sentence is complete, and into full -time residential Psychiatric care, like a sealed community, into which no innocent children must ever venture.  It will remain a prison because it must be secure, but it will contain only child-molesters.  Psychiatric help should be available to these individuals as it may be that they have traumatic pasts themselves, but they should never, ever be released into society - ours or another.\n\nIt is true that this will rely on the tax-payer's money, but who would rather they roamed the streets amongst our children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews than we paid a few extra quid to keep them locked away?\n\nP.S. Castration is a good idea in theory, but they still have hands and mouths... (sorry to be distasteful, but it's an ugly truth...)

Yes definetly.\n\nI pose to you a question, you come home your mum and dad and all your siblings are dead, you see a man in the hall holding a gun up at you with their blood on his hands you have a gun do you draw it and pull the trigger?\n\nAlso another question\nA child sex offender is realeased from jail and re offends, then goes to jail again released with the same result, do you use capital punishment to protect all his future victims?\n\nI am pro capital punishment in out and out clear cut guilty cases (violent/ sex crimes) , as far as i am concerned the fmaily of the victim should have the choice if they want the offender to die, because the offenders death will only bring closure to those he/ she has effected.

I would consider the robbery felon and the murder felon.  I believe they can be rehabilitated.  The robber a little more than the murderer.  Murder is up there with molestation but there is no excuse for molestation in my mind.  A person that would take advantage of a child in that way would do any of the other two as well.\nJust my opinion.\nWith that said, everyone should be given a second chance but not a third.
