JigSaw :
The death penalty is far more expensive in terms of short-term costs and in the end both wind up costing millions of dollars. Either way you go, taxpayers lose.

Definitely! They are sick and twisted, and what they do to children is just so... Terrible and sickens me. They deserve the death penalty for such a horrible crime. |

I think they should. If not put to death at least life in prison with no chance of ever getting out. |

Kryptic : No, they shouldn't be put to death. At a certain threshold of offending, perhaps. But a lot of countries have outlawed the death penalty. You have to make sure the punishment fits the crime...and also rehabilitating people is a good idea. If we were going to put child molestors to death we'd have to put people to death for other types of non-violent crime as well. |

Blessedj01 : Best part is the punishment DOES fit the crime. These are CHILDREN we're talking about. The most innocent things on the planet. Death is not only the best solution but in my opinion the only solution. You can't fix a pedophile, that person is going to be a pedophile forever and regardless of whether or not you put them in therapy for the rest of their lives that person no longer deserves the life they have. |

Hmm well yes and no i suppose it all really depends on other peoples views but as for my own answer maybe not all of them even deserve to die perhaps some of them deserve torture or some fate worse than the release of an ever lasting sleep wherever their souls end up is nothing to do with this however, as i figure it would be up to the circumstances of the situation the people involved were in and stuff like that to determine a course of action best suited for said punishment. |

Yes, because it is a traumatizing event for the child. that child may grow up and have mental health issues because of the event, it will follow that child around for the rest of their life. In some cases children will lose the will to live, so the person who did that to them should died. |

We don't have the death penalty in my country, and im pretty glad we dont so it wouldnt matter which way. But i dont think they should be killed, those who wish to kill should be willing to die yes, but what about executioners? why do we give them the freedom to kill? its their job? Why do people get a free pass to kill, its never been right in my opinion to murder someone for killing, your still taking a life from this world and are no better than a killer. However moving onto the topic at hand....no it sounds sick but killing a child molester gives him the easy way out, hes not punished enough and the parents of the child still have to look after a broken soul. No that person should have to see what hes done and the should be punished severely for it. We don't have the death penalty, so we need to think of a substitute, something that will punish the criminal for the rest of his/her life. I hate to type it, but prolonged suffering in this case is better than a quick release.

AnemoneRose : I get where you're coming from but I don't think it's that simple. For starters there's whole spectrum of offenses in that category. Also there is a broad category of offenses that could have one classed as a "pedophile" that aren't necessarily what you or I are thinking of when we use that term. |

Heck there are so many scary things about this. I know so many people related to this subject. They really don't deserve to live. I think they should be nuked into the sun. And that's my opinion.

Yeah I agree they should put to death, because the kids are to young for those type of things, and it just plain wrong to do that to a little kid when you are an adult. |

Yes they should be put to death. I don't believe any reason they give for molesting children. Yes they should be put to death. I don't believe any reason they give for molesting children. |

I honestly think that they should be put to death, because thats just wrong to mess up a young childs life, when they are plenty girls and guys out there looking for the same thing you're looking for. |

I'm actually very surprised by the general agreement on this topic. I was coming here and expecting that I would be the odd ball out! I guess I'm very very proud to say I'm a part of the in-crowd! I believe child molesters should be put to death. I don't think there should even be room for debate on the issue. Then again, I think all rapists and most murders should be put to death as well.

Wow... seriously? I'm shocked to find such a debate... and then even more shocked at what I'm reading at skimming over the replies...
You're really suggesting that death is a fair trade for a crime that did not take one's life? How does that even make any sense? Are we going to suggest the death penalty for theft next? I don't condone child molestation in any way. Of course, it's a repulsive act that should be punished. Yes, it's an outrage that it even occurs. Yes, people who do it are sick and twisted. But come on, people... think about what you're saying for a moment. Punishment for a crime isn't supposed to be worse than the crime itself. In most of the country, murderers don't get the death penalty that often and you want someone to be killed for molestation??? How can you really justify ending a person's life in response to something they did that while damaging, did not actually end the life of another person? It's fair game to say someone should be killed for killing others... but not for this. There's another fatal flaw in this argument that I'd like to point out now. The justice system is far from perfect. Not ever verdict is correct. Cases are decided by human beings who are fallible. So even if you believe that child molestation is an offense that deserves a punishment as extreme as death... what about those who are wrongfully convicted? Are you suggesting that we should just end someone's life who actually did nothing wrong? It's very possible for someone to get convicted of child molestation who didn't do a thing. Who is a jury going to believe: a cute little kid or some guy who the prosecution has painted to be a creepy pedophile? Obviously, they'll eat up whatever the prosecution says and not give the guy a chance. People are easily swayed by their emotions. There are measures that can be taken to protect children that don't go overboard. Make the person atone for their crimes. Alert neighborhoods that a known child molester is in the vicinity. These are better ways to handle the situation than just robbing someone of their right to live for something that isn't equatable to that.
