"Not a serious argument.
You don't just report someone and this someone is getting convicted for rape and then executed. You remember where the burden of proof is?"
I disagree it is a valid argument.
If it doesn't get reported none of that arises.
If it is reported, then that becomes a real possibility.
Note, I said a "possibilty".

How about we focus on something a little more important, you know maybe teaching kids that no matter who it is that touches you should be reported.
Make it more socially acceptable to teach a kid where they shouldn't be touched, no matter who it is that is doing it. And that no matter who it is; father, uncle, brother, cousin, preacher, teacher, mom, sister, aunt, etc, that you tell someone, or multiple people, who is doing what to you.
Also teach that actions have consequences, some more severe than others, and that if someone commits a heinous act, they will pay dearly for it. sometimes up to and including with their life.

That brings up the other point addressed earlier by someone else, since 80% of sexual assault victims do not report, how many more victims will not report when the rapist (a father, brother, uncle ? ) tells them they will be put to death for it?

Emotional blackmail isn't a valid argument against the death penalty of child rapists.
It's incredible you have tried all possible avenues and nothing works.

I wasn't replying to the argument against the death penalty but to another offshoot relevant topic here. Not everyone here who is putting forth arguments are replying to that one point of yours. We are discussing many factors that may or may not occur when the death penalty is put in place. It becomes an important factor in the behaviour of the victim and perpetrator and we are just theorizing what those behavioural changes may be including a lower rate of reporting.

Yesterday you were claiming that child rapists will commit murders on large scale because they know they will get the death penalty if convicted for rape.
I haven't seen such a terrible arguments which started with sook and continued with you.

Anything I put forward here are theories of what may or may not occur, possibilities, probabilities and foremost the wellbeing of the victim and their families. With a death penalty hanging over a perpetrator's head will that then push some to commit murder? Will some perpetrators that are family members, control the child to not report and further brainwash them? Will some perpetrators claim the child 'wanted it' and hire the right lawyer? There are many questions and issues that come up, not just putting the perpetrator to death whether or not the victim and the victim's family want it or not. After the perp is put to death will the child and family self-blame so experience further trauma? Do you get it?

All the arguments you provided are ways to say you don't want child rapists to be sentenced to death. But the arguments are terrible and have no validity.
Just as above, emotional blackmail isn't a valid argument against the death penalty of child rapists.
It's incredible you have tried all possible avenues and nothing works...

What are you trying to say?
You copy paragraphs with no meaning...
The death penalty is constitutional and can be applied for a range of crimes in a given number of states.

Exactly. This law does nothing to prevent rape or protect rape victims and their families. Less rapes will be reported and more rapists will be walking around, free to rape more kids.
