TBH, I would not have a problem adding Child Rape/Molestation as a crime eligible for Capital Punishment. To me, in many if not most cases, that crime is worse than murder (of an adult). That child is going to be still alive, but scarred for life (as if they had been murdered). They aren't old/mature enough yet to have developed the coping mechanisms adults have to get them through such trauma (not that it's all that easier for adult victims either). But, for me, what really makes Child Rape/Molestation "death penalty" eligible is the perp's motivation for it... whether it be "taking advantage" of a child's youth & innocence and inability to resist/fight back, or whether they actually find kids more "attractive" (the real sick ones). I'm sorry but creeps like that have forfeited their right to life, and need to be ended.
