1. I believe anyone who sexually offends on a child aged 9 or younger or traffics any child should be eligible for the death penalty.

Every year in the U.S. alone, tens of thousands of children are raped, trafficked, and abused many before they even reach their 10th birthday. According to national estimates, 60,000+ children a year are confirmed victims of sexual abuse, while thousands more are trafficked in silence. Millions of explicit images of children flood the internet, some involving infants and toddlers. These are not just numbers—they are children. Too many never see justice.
