should the death sentence be introduced for paedophiles?

Question

i have been reading in my local paper about a portuguese child snatcher who flew over 50 children out of Faro airport in 8 months.children as young as 5 were
abducted and sold into prostitution and slavery. some of these children may be in the uk, sold onto wealthy abusers. pedro miguel da costa damba was jailed for 6 years in 2002 for the string of abductions, but was released early for good behavior. this dangerous, vile thing is now obviously out theresomewhere and i doubt very much he has been rehabilitated. he was only caught when an immigration officer noticedhe was flying his second "family" to Egland in a week. surely in cases like this there is no other option but to put these things down. life imprisonment is an option, but as a tax payer i am not happy paying for these individuals to live a life of luxury.

to all the. yes if i were asked to put a known paeodo to his death i would with great pleasure.

thanks to everyone who answered. i,m finding it really difficult to pick a BA, so i,m gonna leave it up to you guy,s.

Answer 1

Possibly, castration also springs to mind! (And i mean the full meat and veg)

Answer 2

Give them all the death penelty..dirty old buggers the lot of them. I find it so sick. Children are so innocent and should have an innocent childhood. When I was younger I had such a nice view ofthe world. Even now when I watch films that I saw when I was younger I have never remembered any of the horrible bits in the films. Children should be left along, any sicko that would want to harm them or exploit them should be punished x

Answer 3

Here's one for you.
Various states all around the world still have the death penalty for murder. In all of these states people are still legally executed for their crime.
Now, maybe I'm just being silly, but if the death penalty worked, no one would be getting murdered and no one would be getting executed.
Therefore, the death penalty does not work.
Executing paedophiles and murderers is not going to protect anyone's children, because there will still be nutters out there.

Learn this. You can legislate for the death penalty, but it's only ever going to get the one's who've been caught already. It's never going to protect your children.

Answer 4

Yes! But be generous and give child molesters ONE chance to rehabilitate. On the first offense, don't just jail them for a fixed term; jail them indefinitely and give them intensive therapy. Don't release them until/unless a PANEL of psychologists agrees that recidivism is highly unlikely. I'm willing to pay my share of the taxes for this humane treatment.

Fry all convicted second-offense child molesters!

Paedophiles who only look at pictures do not deserve such harsh treatment.

Answer 5

Why Paedophiles and why not Murderers?
At times I am all for it, but then there are always miscariages of justice that make me think twice. If a member of my family or friends was sentenced to death only for years later to be found innocent how and what can be done to compensate the person who was tried and their innocent life taken away from them? Nothing!

Also, lets remember that althought he majority of Paedophiles are men, there are some women out there the same, so please don't come up with the usual "Castrate them" comments.

Answer 6

I truly think the death penalty (especially the way it's set up now), is too easy for them. They are killers (of childhood and innocence) and should be treated as the scum they are. I would love to be like a third world country and torture the hell out of them. Almost to the brink of death, then let them recover, and do it all over again. I can think of a lot of things that would be a worthy torture for those monsters. But, unfortunately, there are too many bleeding heart liberals who think they should have rights.

Answer 7

i think that castration should be done & if they persist to abuse we should put them to death - innocent children suffer because they always get lenient sentences - why should be breathing the same air or giving them the luxury of life? they disgust me! evil is too kind having said that anyone who commits a cold blooded murder should be hung as well - a life for a life

Answer 8

That sort of story certainly makes you want them to suffer the ultimate price!

Where do you draw the line though? This evil man actually trades in children and causes them to be abused and mudered. Should the paedophile who only downloads images get the same?

Don't misunderstand me, I know how that trade brings misery to thousands of children...but where do we draw the line?

Answer 9

Unquestionably Yes

Answer 10

I would have the thought the answer is obvious......castration.


Edit. Frosty you are right..I had forgotten that these women often are far more evil than the male...Rosemary West, Myra Hindely......may others.

So the answer has to be Life....... Paedophiles both men and women often become murderers as well.

Answer 11

where there is unquestionable guilt...then yes they bloody well should. hope they all rot in hell. disgusting evil scum! but watch how many down thumbs i get by all the do gooders who think its ok for them to clutter up the prisons living it up with colour tvs like ian huntley. or even worse some morons think they can be reabilitated and move them into a hostel next door to a kiddies playground!
