The Death Penalty

I learn so much in the process of educating the children. For some reason I had always convinced myself that the death penalty happened in very few countries now. Hermione has been asking about this today after spotting a decorative (????) electric chair on a Halloween decoration site. We decided to try to find out where it still happens and I was shocked by how wide spread it still is - many countries still use it in the case of adolescents too!

'But why?' she asked.

Some questions I can't answer.
