yes

The obvious is that if the child survives from their attacker that their innocent lives will forever be changed because of this vile act. Secondly with DNA testing there is no need for a lengthy trial. This would save the tax payer from the burden of a costly jury trial and then also the cost of keeping this unworthy piece of ____ alive at approx. $33K a year on average. Expedited death penalty with no appeals for anyone who could harm a child sexually or otherwise!

yes for one do you want a child molester out on the street in what is it 3-5 years like thats going to fix him/her two they cant be rehabilitated and last but not least it's costing to much money to keep them alive they have cable 3 meals work out time showers game time mail etc. all that money could be going to the schools to help kids stay off the street and stay out of prison gos to these people you can save alot of time and cash Cali is in det this would help alot and you have lots of choices gun, hagging, head cut off, etc all cheep and fast the death penalty works great and i don't want to hear its in humane i think we should only be humane to those who are humane and rapists molesters killers and people who sell drugs to kids should be put down

Yes, because even if they get psychological help, there is still a risk that they might molest more children. After 4 years about 30% of child molesters have been convicted of a repeated sex offense.

Isn't this argument equally good for supporting life imprisonment with no parole instead of execution? When it comes to their ability to hurt more kids, both options have the same outcome.

Yeah i guess, so it depends if they killed the kid or not. If they did then death, but if not, life imprisonment.

So phantom these offences vary greatly in severity from sexual touching to rape.are you seriouly saying a person given 2 years for touching should be murdered?In a small town in england a few years agoa group of youths beat a young girl to death for simply being a goth, where was the cry for there execution, you need to engage your brain and not let emotion cloud your views, i do not belive in the death penalty for any crime but in your world people reciving realitively small sentances of say 3 years would be executed ,by your logic anyone should then be hanged simply on the length of sentance recived you can not have one law for sex offences and a different one for others. WE ARE GLASS

Yes because they molested a child and its wrong to molest the child because if they throw the guy in jail he could molest another kid.

Side: yes

Yeah, because there are loads of children in adult jails...

Side: No

No, because those people need psychological help, not just punishment. And anyone who commits any crime should have to live with the consequences in a jail cell and live with the guilt. No one who committed such an act should get the easy way out with death.

The fundamental problem isn't the actual separation, permanent separation in this instance, of someone from society, but whom we put this label on.

There tragically are hundreds of cases of high school seniors labeled "child molesters" because they screwed their sophomore girlfriend on prom night and other instances of ridiculous injustice. Plus all the times the wrong person is simply convicted.

Given a perfect world where no person is ever imprisoned I'm not technically opposed to death penalty as a permanent means of removing individuals from society so long as it doesn't turn into a holier-than-though self-righteous and blood-thirsty crusade for revenge... which it inevitably does.

I'm more comfortable with life imprisonment and/or when chosen castration. Which though it sounds barbaric, many would choose I believe given the option of that or life imprisonment.

Back to reality, we convict the wrong person all the time, and we've set up a system where death penalty is actually more expensive than life in prison. So it's kind of a dumb policy to have as a society.

Side: No

No. As Saurbaby08 stated. They need some serious physiological help first. If that doesn't work then they should be imprisoned for the rest of their life to keep them away from children.

Side: No

sometimes people have problems they can no control and do this that hurt people when they don't know it, not everyone can be in a hospital or be looked after

Side: No

I don't believe that they should because if you kill someone, they won't have the chance to either get rehabilitated nor will they have the chance to actually regret what they have done.

Side: No

no, no don't kill them, molest them...but not in a sexual way. Make them deal with the type of emotional and physical hardship they placed on someone else. But, make them endure it forever!

They should be imprisoned but psychiatrists have to meet with them frequently to try and help them.
