"how will Capital Punishment for sex offenders curb any crime at all?"

I dont care if it does. If someone rapes and kills your son, I'd rather not pay their living expenses.

What punishment would be acceptable for such an act? Remember this is your child, not someone elses.

Honestly? I'd wish for him to suffer in solitary confinement with no contact with another human being for the rest of his life.

Legislating from emotion is not a conservative trait. If you have to make such an appeal, it betrays a certain weakness of argument.

His question is valid. And maybe the response is "Not at all, but it will make us feel better."

I too am worried about the possibility of abuse. Too many men are accused of molesting their children.

Besides, this whole thing just screams of grandstanding politicians. It won't stand, and the only real result will be a very large legal bill for Oklahoma taxpayers to foot. I wish legislators who voted for such things were actually responsible for the legal costs that result.
