Child traffickers must be sentenced to death because their greed brings pain and lasting misery to parents whose kids they traffic in! If you know a bit of the suffering of those parents who lost their kids to traffickers, their sleepless nights, their nightmares thinking of their beloved kids, their lives being turned upside down, and being unable to lead a normal life, you probably won’t suggest such a soft approach! The death penalty is a very powerful deterrent; traffickers would think twice before they embark on this heinous crime against humanity! To postulate that it will endanger the lives of the kids, and therefore the death penalty should not be applied, is to cave in to the traffickers! I feel sorry for the kids and their parents.

Death penalty will not deter the child traffickers, since child trafficking is such a lucrative trade. Instead, it will pose a serious threat to the child victims. China should reform its adoption system, thus forcing some families to resort to legal measures to adopt a child.

I am opposed to any killing of people, legal or otherwise. Death penalty solves no problem and only helps barbarity gain acceptance in the population.
It is utterly devastating to lose one’s child to a kidnapper who resells him to someone else. But have you ever taken the causes of this crime into consideration? China has enacted and enforced the one child family policy. This policy is quite reasonable against a background of demographics and economics, but it is unnatural and it also creates untold sufferings. What if a woman miscarries and loses her ability to conceive again? What if a couple have waited too long for their child to come? They have little option but to visit the grey and black market in search of a child.
The question as to how to judicially treat child abductors and traffickers is a different one. Many crimes are committed out of sheer avarice; killing in retaliation does not make people more moral. Just think how lightly some corrupt officials get off the hook and you can understand that the death penalty is no solution. The countries in West Europe that have no death penalty have the lowest crime rates while the countries with death penalty see their crime rates go from bad to worse.

Every child is the treasure of his parents. If you are in a situation where you are trapped in losing your child and unfortunately getting the news about the slack crackdown on those traffickers, how painful and desperate will you be? Definitely, effective measures should be taken to block the channel of trafficking children.

You may think that offenders would think twice but an American research has shown that, the death penalty is an awful deterrent. It is simply an act of vengeance. I believe that the use of punishment is to teach someone right from wrong, and that most actions stem from societal issues. If poor people had better wages, maybe they wouldn’t have to be child traffickers to pay the bills. Killing for vengeance just creates a spiral of hate. Nothing is gained from it.

Should Child Traffickers Be Sentenced to Death? For the first time in the history of the mass media, one issue has been initiated to an unprecedented controversy on the justification of death penalty against child traffickers. Should the traffickers be sentenced to death? It needs a rational analysis of the root of the offence instead of a harsh punishment for the sake of blind love. All the evil may be ascribed to the traditional family values such as gender discrimination, blood relationship and providing for the aged. One argument in its favor is that death penalty can extinguish people’s indignation against the offenders and presumably ease the anguish suffered by the parents. While, some individuals contend that it cannot deter the criminals even with the cost of their lives, as trafficking is so lucrative that it is too difficult for them to resist the temptation. It some extreme cases, the traffickers even murder the victims out of fear or fury. Actually, any conviction for death sentence just surrenders human being’s reason, following an old and bloody pattern—an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth—which satisfies the suppressed lust for violence with violence itself. What is required is to dig up the causes of the offence. As a general rule for economics says, where there is a demand, there is a supply. The desire for purchasing a child in the black market has not been given adequate attention nor reasonable account. Traditionally in China, some couples are dying for baby boys as men are supposed to have the final say in the patriarchal society. What is more, some women suffer from infertility, which means they can’t fulfil their responsibility for continuing the family blood and therefore have a miserable old life with no one to rely on. Therefore, it needs a technological breakthrough in the field of fertility to treat the biological failure of pregnancy and more importantly, the reform in the realm of social welfare is in an urgent need to construct a more reliable system which benefits the old and poor. Calls for death penalty for child trafficking would only divert people’s attention to increasingly intensifying resentment, rather then a genuine investigation into the deep causes of the evil.
