Since studies prove that molestors can never be "rehabilitated" then yes, I think death should be the answer. Rehab is a JOKE..it's a place for sex offenders to tell other offenders how "to do the deed". They will never change. However, I don't think the electric chair is painful enough. Their death should be slow and painful.

I think that before you make up your mind, you should have the verifiable facts about the death penalty. Then, using common sense, you can ask yourself if this is the smartest and most effective way of keeping us and our children safe. Here are just a few-
Re: cost
The death penalty costs far more than life in prison. The extra costs begin even before the trial.
Re: Speeding up the process & possibility of executing an innocent person
Over 120 people on death rows have been released with evidence of their innocence. If we speed up the process we are bound to execute an innocent person.
Re: DNA
DNA evidence is available in no more than 10% of all murder cases. It is no guarantee that we will never execute an innocent person. It is human nature to make mistakes.
Re: Deterrence
The death penalty is not 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: Alternatives
More and more states have life without parole on the books. Life without parole means what it says and is no picnic.
Re: Who gets the death penalty
The death penalty is not 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
People should know that 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.
Last of all, opposing the death penalty does not mean a person condones brutal crimes or excuses the people who commit them. I believe that the dialogue on the death penalty should be based on verifiable facts. People should make up their minds using common sense not revenge.

Child molestors are sick. They need medical treatment and should be keep away from children as long as they are "recovered".

Yes,Yes , YES!!!! I would like to add that first they should be tortured by castration and then electrocuted.
This is where i wish that being Drawn and Quatered was still an acceptable form of crime punishment.!
