I understand the desire to crush pedophiles, but I think this movement is short sighted in not considering the weight the child will carry of “having a person killed”. Victims of child sexual abuse spend a lifetime grappling with their memories and complex feelings regarding their perpetrators; knowing their testimony ended a life could be another trauma. If multiple children were victims I could view it is a firing squad scenario where no one carries the full weight of ending a life - maybe that would be less traumatizing…. I don’t know the answer but I don’t think this is well thought out.
I think the child might be greatly comforted knowing the monster is dead and will never, ever hurt them again.
By then the pedos will all be dead or at least have curbed their enthusiasm greatly.
Then the child needs to be counselled that they were not responsible for the perp getting the death penalty because it’s NOT their fault he got it.
The adult is responsible for his own actions and the child needs to know that and that he had NO responsibility in justice being meted out.
Your reasoning that the child would carry guilt for having a person killed is very twisted. I don’t know how or where that concept came to you, but that’s the first time I’ve ever heard anyone use it and it’s probably the worst excuse for not using the death penalty I have ever heard.
