Firstly no they haven't. The death penalty is an option but not often used. Because most abusers are close family or friends and you want kids to come forward without the fear of killing their uncle.

I think sometimes people ignore in the maximalist approaches to this is that you might be traumatized by your abuser and want justice and even revenge, but not actually want them to die. And that the agency and preferences of the victim are important here.

Also ppl forget if theremoved knows theyll be killed if theyre caught, theyre more likely to also kill their victim cuz the punishment cant be any worse and that way theres no witness

It's easier to hide an SV than a body; you might not believe a child but you'll believe their corpse
