I think that's a normal kneejerk reaction, but I would hope anyone who knows a little about child abuse would understand why this is one of the least appropriate uses the death penalty ever.
The most obvious reason is that much abuse is committed family, and most people (including victims) would have a very hard time turning a family member over to be killed. This would add yet another reason to hush it up, as if that weren't a big enough problem already.
IIN to think there should be a death penality for child molestation?
