Daily Curiosity- Child Molestors and Consequences

I am curious to know if child molesters will ever have a mandatory sentence of life in prison like murderers are. In my opinion, even though murder is a terrible crime, child molestation is worse. How can people who call themselves human beings even think about touching or looking at a child in such a disgusting way. Children are supposed to be innocent and when you do something so vile to them, there innocence is taken away. Why is it OK for child molesters to serve 10 year sentences and be able to one day walk out of prison and do it all over again to another innocent child? I think that child molestation should be a capital crime. Just like they give out life sentences for murder, unless its self-defense of course, they should give out those same sentences to child molesters. There are excuses for killing a person as I mentioned before, one being self-defense. But there is never a reason to touch a child like that no matter state mind your in.
