The real problem I see here is that it won't stop at people who abuse children. If someone can be murdered by the state for raping a child, then the next step is captial punishment for the raping of an adult. Pretty soon you're chopping off thieves hands, hanging people who assualt women and taking a bamboo cane to people who spray paint freeway overpasses.
You have to set limits with something as grave as capital punishment. In every western society I can think of, that limit is murder.
