petition to bring back death penalty for children’s abusers?
October 29, 2009 - 2:14 pm
I want to start a petition to bring back the death penalty for monsters abusing children. How do I do? Anyone interested?
How about instituting sterilization of child abusers?
Better think about that. Abortion is the ultimate child abuse.

Thats an interesting subject that I obviously know nothing about. I wasn’t aware that death penalty was not on the table for child abusers! Thanks! You get some good ideas, I’m interested in learning more. You are able to IM or Email me.

If you’ve been convicted of child abuse and you go to prision with a bunch of big men who were abused as children, you’re in for a very long, slow and painful death sentence in a manner much less humane than a lethal injection.
Nevertheless, I would TOTALLY sign your petition.

I agree. You would write your state senetor. Or legislator. They can answer all those things for you.

With the political correctness of the "feel gooders" in this country, good luck with that.
I am so tired of them making new laws instead of giving more harsh punishments for our existing laws.
EDIT TO ADD—-
If you do start such petition, I will happily sign!

Although we are responsible for our own actions child abuse is a vicious circle. My grandmother abused my mother, my mother abused me. I chose not to have children. My mother committed unspeakable crimes against us children and screwed us up for life. I chose not to have children. My mother got away with everything she ever did, she should’ve spent many years in prison but that’s it. I’m the victim and I would spare her. I actually forgive her because I know she was sick, keeping the vicious circle going, she was not evil, she needed intervention which she never got. Would you execute my mother who was the victim of her mother? Would you execute my grandmother? I, the victim, would not.
On the other hand many people deserve to die for the sick things they do to children but you must draw a line.

Before you start working on this project, I hope that you will take a look at some of the facts about the death penalty. All of these are verifiable and sourced.
Re: Possibility of executing an innocent person
Over 120 people on death rows have been released with evidence of their innocence. Many had already served over 2 decades on death row. If we speed up the process we are bound to execute an innocent person. Once someone is executed the case is closed. If we execute an innocent person we are not likely to find that out and, also, the real criminal is still out there.
Re: DNA
DNA is available in no more than 10% of murder cases. It is not a miracle cure for sentencing innocent people to death. It’s human nature to make mistakes.
Re: Appeals
Our appeals system is designed to make sure that the trial was in accord with constitutional standards, not to second guess whether the defendant was actually innocent. It is very difficult to get evidence of innocence introduced before an appeals court.
Re: Deterrence
The death penalty isn’t a deterrent. Murder rates are actually higher in states with the death penalty than in states without it. Moreover, people who kill or commit other serious crimes do not think they will be caught (if they think at all.)
Re: cost
The death penalty costs far more than life in prison. The huge extra costs start to mount up even before the trial. There are more cost effective ways to prevent and control crime.
Re: Alternatives
48 states have life without parole on the books. It means what it says, is swift and sure and is rarely appealed. Being locked in a tiny cell for 23 hours a day, forever, is certainly no picnic.
Re: Who gets the death penalty
The death penalty isn’t reserved for the “worst of the worst,” but rather for defendants with the worst lawyers. When is the last time a wealthy person was sentenced to death, let alone executed??
Re: Victims families
The death penalty is very hard on victims’ families. They must relive their ordeal in the courts and the media. Life without parole is sure, swift and rarely appealed. Some victims families who support the death penalty in principal prefer life without parole because of how the death penalty affects families like theirs.
Opposing the death penalty doesn’t mean you condone brutal crimes or excuse people who commit them. According to a Gallup Poll, in 2006, 47% of all Americans prefer capital punishment while 48% prefer life without parole. Americans are learning the facts and making up their minds using common sense, not revenge.
