Should people who murder their children be allowed to have more....?

The State should take over and have them sterilized, before they are even released!

No, because whoever has the children has to establish some kind of stability for them.  I'm not saying you should not have any rights, but think of the kids first.

The number of children a family has should be decided(for the most part) by the couple.  It should be a mutual thing to raise the children, so it should be a mutual thing to decide how many to have.  But they should take into account things like finances and emotional ability to handle children.  The only exception that I see to this is cases where the parents are incapible of caring for their children or are abusive to them.  In those cases, the government should protect potential children from the harm such an upbringing would cause(by not allowing them to be conceived in the first place).

I have been blessed with having my parents still with me. My little cousins, however, are a different story. My paternal cousin's husband had killed her, and then he committed suicide. They left three young children all under the age of 10 at that time. Fortunately, they have an uncle (another cousin) and a grandma (my uncle's former wife) that are raising them. Of course, they will never know how much a biological parent can give to a child. Then again, I have heard horror stories of what biological parents do to their kids. Really, it's all about how the situation is. It could have been much worse, and the kids might have been split up and put out for adoption. The key is trying to make the best out of any situation. At least the kids were not involved.

It is not fair for the children.\n\nBut it is also not fair that children have to go into foster homes, which are not always known for being great to kids, because their parents committed a crime and were sent to jail.\n\nThe parents are the ones who are responsible for the pain they cause their children, not everyone else.

Done.  What is wrong with you people?  Did you not click on the link and see that it is a petition to put a law in place?  This little girl named Amy was STRANGLED to death by another child.  The child should DEFINATELY be punished, if you ask me.  I have children and if my children killed another child, I would hope they would recieve the proper punishment.  It is the responsibility we have as parents to raise our children correctly.  And if they screw up, there is an age where a child knows the difference and I do feel they should be accounted for their actions.\n\nOh, and you don't have to be a resident of Georgia to sign it.  I am a resident of Arizona, and my signature went through just fine.

I think a lot of us would like to find a place for them to live. Unfortunately, it would require the buying of a shovel. I have absolutely no tolerance for these broken persons living in society. They should be given the same rights as their victims were given. Sorry, but this is a real sore spot.

i believe people who attack children(especially a sex attack) should be removed from society permanently. if we can't execute them then they should be housed in a special prison for life.

whoo, thats a doozee of a question. im sure that if a set of conjoined twins could be surgically separated, theyd do it, and send the killer to jail. if not, idk.

I do provide and improve alternatives. I'm a social worker that helps pregnant women for this reason.\n\nBut is killing a baby acceptable because of all your reasons? Expensive adoption? The birthmother doesn't pay, and there's a 10 million couple wait for an expensive adoption.\n\nFoster system? No need. Infants are easily adoptable, and apparantly these couples on the waiting list can endure the expenses. \n\nRegardless if your  examples were real or not, none of your reasons justify killing innocent unborn people.  \n\nPeriod.

isn't that the one that allows murder of a pregnant woman to be 2 murders?

I am against it. I dont care about adults who ACTUALLY do the crime, but to kill a child because he did something wrong, that is inhumane. i mean it all is, but if they are an adult and did it purposefully, they need that punishment. But a child doesnt know any better and it doesnt solve anything. Thats cruel and unusual punishment.

I have two daughters myself and I was also outraged by this. How can anyone think that it's ok for minors to murder  babies and then just go home and sit down  to  have dinner as usual with their family's.  What are these people thinking!!! These children need our protection and guidance they need to know about their options. This is something that could cause psychological problems in these young girls later on in life. They may need counseling and they need to be made aware of the dangers and complications that an abortion could cause them. All life is a sacred. God help us all!!

Children are the only thing that's sacred remaining in this world. People who hurt kids should be punished severely. Yes, that is an excellent idea, in my opinion- to sterilize criminals who have harmed innocent kids (every kid is innocent, because they are defenseless against larger adults). If they are prevented from having any other kids, that would help give at least some degree of assurance that they wouldn't fall into recidivism. But on the other hand, measures might need to be taken to prevent any offender from adopting other children, and measures to prevent an offender from working around kids, too. Prison time would also be a good idea- and sterilization. If the individual ever got out of jail, then they would not have any immediate children to harm.

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.
