what would be a just punishment for a person who murdered three of their small children ??

@Tatsumi they wont have the chance to kill anymore kids. or anyone else.

@YourMomsSecretCrush Then why call it punishment?

@Tatsumi scratch punishment, we can just refer to it as the prevention of future murders.

@YourMomsSecretCrush That, I am all for. Ideally--though perhaps not pragmatically--we would find out why they killed their 3 children, what psychological issues they had and whether or not they can be fixed.

I'm of a mind that people do not do these types of things if they are well. That the only reason people commit such atrocities is because they have a deficit in some area--defunct in some aspect.
