    Well, I'd be imprisoned for a long, long time and hopefully be rehabilitated. I'd want to be set to work though, not just sat in a cell and expect to be miraculously rehabilitated. I should be shown the horror of my crime everyday and given the chance, skills and guidance to help, to grow an awareness of my actions and inactions. I've been thinking about this sort of thing for the past 13 months now (since I learned I was to be a father.) What would I want if someone harmed my child. I don't want revenge, I don't want an eye for an eye, I don't want anyone else to suffer anymore than my child, my partner and I have suffered. I want whomever harmed my child to become fully aware of the pain they caused and then for them to change their life around and contribute to society. That would be the sweetest revenge. "Feel our pain, see what you have done to us." Torturing that man who tortured the child would have only a detrimental affect on him. He would see it as a continuation of the existence in his own head, a world of pain and madness. It would push him further away from society and his own actions would only become worse. It would also debase the torturer and society further.

    cheers, Paul M. Watson.

    I'm with Dalek. I'd kill them very slowly and inflict indescribable pain on them before they died. As simple as that

      The So Called "Parents" (Killers is a better word) of Baby P I will actually warn you after reading this, it makes for some horrific reading the treatment of this child. I have had to step out of the office for a minute as its left me visibily shaken. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7727641.stm[^] In my opinion these people are lower than terrorists. They do not deserve to live.

        Actually the legislation already exists to have prevented this from happening, but the one social worker was ignored even after several letters were written, and police were ignored even after saying they didn't think the child would be safe. Those responsible in Harringay Council should face charges and there should be no more of the Political Correctness bollocks that helped to cause this.

          Capital Punishment, if appropriate to the crime, is a good thing. But then, I speak for myself only in saying if I were a juror, I would hesitate a 1,000,000,000 times before pronouncing that on anyone. Its not an easy choice.

          But you'd spend 1,000,000,000 less time on knowingly sending someone to prison where they may be raped, beaten and possibly killed?

            This is not revenge, its a punishment that fits the crime. Or as much as possible.

              It's funny, I too am a father, and if anyone did that to my son, I would kill them, slowly. I would do time for murder, but it would be no bother to me.

                It does have a constructive goal. Once dead there's absolutely zero risk of this scum ever murdering another baby. Something that cannot be said as long as they continue to foul the air we breathe.

                  Why? Can you guarantee that he won't do it again? Usually, these people don't get rehabilitated. It's happened before and it will happen again. So why risk it? I'm not condoning torture, but the death penalty or life in prison with absolutely no possibility for parole.

                    Agreed. Why do people worry too much about the crazies well-being when they usually can't be rehabilitated. Like the Austrian pedophile father who's acting as if he's remorseful.

                      And rehabilitation works less. I wouldn't want such a person close to where I live, and I wouldn't want them put altogether on an island where they can procreate.

                            And it is 100% certain that if you chop both hands from a pick-pocket, he/she won't do pick-pocketing again. Will that be a deterrent ? Probably not, as often demonstrated in Saudi Arabia by their chopping off of one hand.

                              Yes, because the object of prison is not so that hardknocks can duke it out in something that ends up being akin to survival of the fittest. Its a flaw, I agree and it does need to be fixed.
