+1 ySometimes they can. In Florida, for example, if an adult rapes a child under 12 (or injures her/his sexual organs in a rape attempt), that has the potential to be punished by death:
"A person 18 years of age or older who commits sexual battery upon, or in an attempt to commit sexual battery injures the sexual organs of, a person less than 12 years of age commits a capital felony, punishable as provided in ss. 775.082 and 921.1425. In all capital cases under this section, the procedure set forth in s. 921.1425 shall be followed in order to determine a sentence of death or life imprisonment. If the prosecutor intends to seek the death penalty, the prosecutor must give notice to the defendant and file the notice with the court within 45 days after arraignment. The notice must contain a list of the aggravating factors the state intends to prove and has reason to believe it can prove beyond a reasonable doubt. The court may allow the prosecutor to amend the notice upon a showing of good cause."
- Florida Statutes 794.011(2)(a) ( )The State of Florida originally sought the death penalty for Joseph Giampa, who was indicted on six counts of sexual battery a minor child under 12 and three counts of promoting a sexual performance by a child, but there seems to have recently been a plea bargain or something in which his attorney accepted life imprisonment when offered by prosecutors with the approval of the family of the victim.

To do what is nessary and nothing more is to protect your own life. To kill is the price of business a trade of sorts. It gives power to the criminal in more ways then one.
It also makes it harder for victims to call for help. Remember the "metoo" and how people reacted? You also have to remember majority of sexual assaults happen in the family. Killing the bread winner or family head is too much pressure for a child. This execution will be used as a tool to further manipulation and give power to abusers.
Biggest thing we can do to help is have sex education as early as possible. So the child in danger has the vocabulary to know what's happening and ask for help. From there they can't take advantage of anyone anymore.

+1 yIf I was ruling Canada I would give a lot of people the death penalty. Today I read about a dog that cracked somebody's ribs once and then injured a second person. The Canadian government knew this happened and did not put the dog to death and then the dog killed a young child in the third incident. If I was responsible for Canada I would give the dog owner the death penalty and I would give the judges who refused to kill the dog the death penalty and I would give the lawyers who defended the dog the death penalty too. Cause by the second incident, nobody with a sense of decency should prevent the dog from being euthanized.

+1 yDeath penalty for ANY crime is biased & arbitrary. That being said, my father was a child molester and ABSOLUTELY DESERVED TO DIE THE MOST BRUTAL, HORRIFIC DEATH EVIL CAN DEVISE! Even more to your point, they can't be rehabilitated. Not gonna happen. So death is a cure for them. Despite all of that I am anti- death penalty. The state does NOT have the power to take your life. No exceptions.
10 Reply If you were the law, you could do anything and get away with it if you did anytg against the law yourself. But people need to witness and have evidence when a wrong against the law was done. Does the sentence "Innocent until proven guilty" mean anything to you? Innocent people have also been sentenced by the law discriminatingly. What if the sex offender wasn't one but was framed? Ever thought about that?
00 ReplyCuz technically they didn't kill someone.. ruined them for life? Yes but they didn't end it.. it's a very complicated matter.. everyone would see it from their perspective, people who never experienced SA or have a closed one who did would think it's too harsh.. While people who lived it would curse God and wish sex offenders should even get tortured before they're dead..
