The fact remains, this sub-species example will be released from prison in 24 years. The young boy will be forever messed up because of him and gets to look forward to his personal monster being released into the wild one day, walking the same earth again and always wondering where the SOB is at. As a father, I'm not so sure I could allow that to happen... at any cost.
Well, even Jesus condemned an abuser as deserving a date worse than a millstone (1 ton stone for grinding wheat) tied to the abuser’s neck with the abuser dragged to the bottom of the ocean. That is pretty brutal, but any honest reading shows that Jesus wasn’t a good case of tough love, not abusive, but he really did care. In Leviticus, while the death penalty is authorized, one must convict a person by trial first in order to do so. Also, one must also not, even in Jewish tradition continue to hold a grudge against the family and friends of the perp, or become a self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner.
