Good points, Spunky.

I can see that the death penalty for a child rapist must not be the same if that rapist is a parent.

Can you imagine becoming an older child (10 or so) and realizing what your parent did to you, how wrong it was, but if you report it, your parent will be put to death?

I don’t know what the answer is, but this is a tough spot to be in. OTOH, there may be kids who would welcome the death penalty for a parent. What a world. Maranatha.

“realizing what your parent did to you, how wrong it was, but if you report it, your parent will be put to death”

On the other hand, chances are they will only get a handful of years and then be out again. To do the same to their grandchildren.

I think instead of the death penalty in this case I’m for lifelong incarceration. However that costs us a fortune. And with all the whiny liberals, these people get out very very soon. Most times they don’t even have to do half of their sentence.

I don’t think there is a good answer.
