Stop being reasonable, Sava - it'll be a disturbing trend if you keep it up.

Weird.

I read somewhere that incest between biological parents and children who were adopted out is not uncommon when they meet again in adult life. Scary stuff.

This kiddie probably needs to be locked up for his own good.

Killing this kid would be a sick and obscene idea. Anyone who would do something like this very likely has severe psychological problems that would limit his culpability.

The classical arguments for DP don't really apply well. Detterance? Raping your mom is such a rare crime we don't need to be concerned about that? Reperations for the victim? The mom herself said she wants to see her son get treatment.

That leaves protection for society. Well, there alot of sick people we arrest that are likely to be long term problems, potentially violent problems, for society. But we don't kill them just on potential- unless they have actually done the ultimate crime and murdered someone and have thus proven that they are a severe danger to society.

Killing this kid would show an absolute and total disrespect for the value of life in society.

The death penalty doesn't work. It doesn't deter criminals and it relies on an infallibility in the Justice system which is unattainable.

More to the point, whatever the morals of putting criminals to death it is certainly bad for the community as it appeals to the lowest most vengeful human instincts.

Bigger picture....the mother. Can you imagine the guilt she must feel. Even if she did nothing to cause it, we as mother's tend to feel guilty for our childs actions. She must be going through a horrible time let alone the embaressment of living in a town where everyone knows your son raped you.

Understanding is Superior to Ignorance.
You may learn useful stuff and people are less pissed of if they're understood rather than ignored.

Wasn't there this Oedipus dude?
There's been plenty of Matricide throughout history... some people are annoyed at their parents for some reason.
The only way I can see this happening is if the kid wanted revenge for being sexually abused (not nescesarily by same mother).

This person is no good to society in general, rehab will do sh#t to correct the situation, I don't believe that killing him is the answer, but damn what other option is there? He can live the rest if his life in a hole in the ground and come out even more deranged, or he can be shot which will do nothing to get to the root of the problem but will leave us with one less ****ing loser piece of filth to deal with.
Where would God stand... the answer can only be conjecture.

Since he had recently been in detention I'd wonder if something might have happened while he was in there. The things that happen to a kid who "drops the soap in the shower" can do enough psychological damage to make him do something crazy.

Neither rape, incest nor assault (the three crimes commited here) are capital crimes today, so no, the kid does not "deserve" death.

Interestingly, in a society so obcessed with "vctims rights" or what the victim thinks, I see so many willing to utterly ignore the whishes oif the victim as to the outcome- just keep this in mind for later.

The kid should recieve the punishement someone would get for violent rape of a person- the fact he did it vs his mother shows that some high level of metal disturbance was present, which might mean once out of prison he would have to go to some mental institution for serious treatment.
