In which state is a 13 year old an adult? What does the death penalty have to do with it? I'll bet you believe 18, 19 & 20 year olds in the military should be arrested for drinking beer before they're 21, too.

If they are breaking the law, yes.

Do you believe in a nation of laws or do you think we should just make it up and apply it differently depending on whims?

One of our laws is called jury nullification, for when the law is an ass. Like arresting a soldier for having a beer, even though it's "against the law." A jury can simply look at the charge and toss it out because it's absurd. That's the law.

Also, look up age of consent. South Carolina gets down to 14, I think that's the lowest in the US - I thought it was 13. Other countries get down to 12. These are ages based on physical maturity and go back thousands of years. In any event, you were the one who said violation of these laws should result in "execution."

And don't even get me started on jurisdiction limitations.
