Rejected petition Capital punishment

More details

In specific cases, particularly child abduction and murder, why are the perpetrators allowed to continue living? Human life is a precious thing and should not be taken lightly, but anyone who can take the life of an innocent child only deserves one thing, and that is to die, as a punishment for their crime.
