Should child abusers and pedofiles get the most severe of criminal punishment?

Sometimes I find it odd that people that commit murder or get caught with an excessive amount of drugs get life sentences and sometimes even the death sentence but we give pedofiles,  child abusers,  and child pornographers a slap on the wrist,   is it worst to hurt a child than to murder an adult?

child rapists should be executed on the second charge.

i'm tired of this humanistic belief that people do bad things because they're crying for attention. we just need to love them so they stop. Yeah, i'm sure Hitler would have stopped killing Jews if we just gave him a big hug.

Pedophiles, despite their problems, are a threat to society and must be stopped.

I agree. They should not get a second chance to go out and hurt and traumatize children. They should at least have to take a psych evaluation before going back into the world.

Alot of the time people who do things like this to children are only doing it because of mental illnesses or repressed psychological problems. I think that locking them up in the first case (for some of the cases) is a bad idea, i believe a lot of these people should be given psychological care, and yes jail time if necessary. As for whether or not child murder is better/worse than adult murder, i think it depends on a case by case basis, i.e. someone who shoots an asult in the head vs. someone who kills a child then mutilates the corpse, obviously the latter should get a harsher sentence, but all together i think they should be equal.
