Why? Because that’s my opinion like it or not. So then, in your opinion, for what other crimes should the child of the criminal be put to death?
I'm curious because putting a child to death for his or her parents crimes seems especially barbaric and draconian.

In the cases of prepubescent child rape, it can inflict a lifetime of emotional torture on the victim.

From Article I, Section 9 of the US Constitution: "No Bill of Attainder ... shall be passed."
