Milestones

Introduce legislation to reinstate capital punishment and make the death penalty the mandatory sentence for the most serious child sexual offences, with no lesser sentencing options.

I believe the most serious crimes against children are so grave that only the death penalty is an appropriate punishment. I want the law changed to ensure the strongest possible justice and protection for children.
