Reinstate death penalty on pedophiles who have committed crimes against children

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I want pedophiles who have committed sex acts against children to be sentenced to death, we must do a better job at protecting the children they are our future they must be protected from these monsters at all costs.
There has to be extreme action taken here as extreme actions like sexually abusing a child need to have an equally extreme punishment, if we have any hope of keeping these monsters away from our beautiful and innocent children then there has to be extreme and effective deterrents. What I propose is that any monster that has committed a sexual offence against a child must be sentenced to death once you have violated a child in that way and stole their innocence you do not deserve to live.
