Thanks very much for the link  :-)

Impaling definitely needs to be brought back as a legally mandated punishment for sex crimes against children.  If the crime results in the death of the child, then perhaps the perp should be simultaneously impaled and burned at the stake? 

It's essential to send a very clear message, which such a punishment would do in spades.
