Should the death sentence be introduced for paedophiles?

i have been reading in my local paper about a portuguese child snatcher who flew over 50 children out of Faro airport in 8 months.children as young as 5 were
abducted and sold into prostitution and slavery. some of these children may be in the uk, sold onto wealthy abusers. pedro miguel da costa damba was jailed for 6 years in 2002 for the string of abductions, but was released early for good behavior. this dangerous, vile thing is now obviously out theresomewhere and i doubt very much he has been rehabilitated. he was only caught when an immigration officer noticedhe was flying his second "family" to Egland in a week. surely in cases like this there is no other option but to put these things down. life imprisonment is an option, but as a tax payer i am not happy paying for these individuals to live a life of luxury.
Answer:
Possibly, castration also springs to mind! (And i mean the full meat and veg)

A shark tank would be a good start(make sure those sharks are HUNGRY!!!)

---

YES!!!! We have to protect our children!

---

i think the death sentence should be used for them but then theres always the chance someone could be wrongly convicted and if they've already been killed theres no going back

---

yes

---

we live in a democracy and Parliament syas no. If you want to change the laws vote for a different government.

No, it is unacceptable to use the death penality.Taking a life is a crime, also there is always the case of miscarriages of justice.I think life imprisonment should mean life for these people, and it certainly wouldnt be a life of luxury!

---

naa, should just get some big fat ugly man to poke them and abuse them for the rest of there life. deths to good for them, rather torture them.

---

Yes Juicy dont think anyone on here would argue against that...

---

yes as long as it is proved without a doubt .also i think a lump hammer and an anvil should come into play first whack

---

Who are you to decide the life of another? That makes you no better than them. A hard life prison term should do the trick.

---

I vote for death! Sick people like that don't change.

---

Unquestionably Yes

---

I agree.
or use them for medical testing for the remainder of thier life...with NO painkillers. we can at least get a couple cures out of them.

---

DEFINITLY

---

where there is unquestionable guilt...then yes they bloody well should. hope they all rot in hell. disgusting evil scum! but watch how many down thumbs i get by all the do gooders who think its ok for them to clutter up the prisons living it up with colour tvs like ian huntley. or even worse some morons think they can be reabilitated and move them into a hostel next door to a kiddies playground!

---

That sort of story certainly makes you want them to suffer the ultimate price!

Where do you draw the line though? This evil man actually trades in children and causes them to be abused and mudered. Should the paedophile who only downloads images get the same?

Don't misunderstand me, I know how that trade brings misery to thousands of children...but where do we draw the line?

---

Yes, that or Castrate them !!

---

i say no. not for any crime. if we have the death penalty we have to have people within our society that carry it out. are you prepared to do it ?

no you wouldn't.

would you be friends with a person that puts people to death for a living ? i think that once a society has moved on like we have you can't go back to it. usa will eventually see sense too.

---

I agree with you. Many of the pedophiles seem to do it over and over again. I have no pity for them.

---

We should take them out in a field tie their hands, let the parents beat them to death, and if they live through it, I volunteer to finish them off, as long as I can do it however I wish.

---

I truly think the death penalty (especially the way it's set up now), is too easy for them. They are killers (of childhood and innocence) and should be treated as the scum they are. I would love to be like a third world country and torture the hell out of them. Almost to the brink of death, then let them recover, and do it all over again. I can think of a lot of things that would be a worthy torture for those monsters. But, unfortunately, there are too many bleeding heart liberals who think they should have rights.

---

yes,, if anything happened to my little girl i would gladly take it upon myself to do the job! no problem.

---

Why Paedophiles and why not Murderers?
At times I am all for it, but then there are always miscariages of justice that make me think twice. If a member of my family or friends was sentenced to death only for years later to be found innocent how and what can be done to compensate the person who was tried and their innocent life taken away from them? Nothing!

Also, lets remember that althought he majority of Paedophiles are men, there are some women out there the same, so please don't come up with the usual "Castrate them" comments.

---

I hate paedophiles with a vengeance however I am 100% against hanging.I would lock them up %26 throw away the key.

---

or you could put them into womens prisons and just sit back and watch the women rip them to pieces

---

I would have the thought the answer is obvious......castration.


Edit. Frosty you are right..I had forgotten that these women often are far more evil than the male...Rosemary West, Myra Hindely......may others.

So the answer has to be Life....... Paedophiles both men and women often become murderers as well.

---

Yes and not just pedes but serial killers etc

---

Yes! But be generous and give child molesters ONE chance to rehabilitate. On the first offense, don't just jail them for a fixed term; jail them indefinitely and give them intensive therapy. Don't release them until/unless a PANEL of psychologists agrees that recidivism is highly unlikely. I'm willing to pay my share of the taxes for this humane treatment.

Fry all convicted second-offense child molesters!

Paedophiles who only look at pictures do not deserve such harsh treatment.

---

In cases like that one, absolutely! It's time we told these sub-humans that if they touch our children they DIE!
