He shouldn't do it. Jesus said to forgive our enemies, and I can't even begin to imagine the reward for forgiving a person for a crime like that. I don't even know if I could forgive in this case, but I guess we just got to.
Also, the bastard should not be let out of jail. He should in fact be executed, via some method that will give him time to ponder his unbelievable crime.

He would never think that a child murderer should not have been executed. No one should "forgive" wrong done to someone else. That is total misunderstanding. We should forgive harm to ourselves, but not harm to others.
