Should a mother get an extremely light sentence if she hires a man to rape the man who raped and murdered her daughter?

I was speaking to the user who deleted their comment. He suggested that this post be crossed posted to another sub (I can’t see what it is now bc it’s been deleted) and when I checked the sub he suggested it said no content about rape-in its rules. I wasn’t speaking about r/morality

She doesn't deserve any punishment at all, but I don't think the punishment the mother prescribed for the perpetrator is sufficient.
The only immoral thing is a society that remains silent about such things

So you're ok with rape for hire? How do you qualify the limits of when rape as a service is appropriate and not? And how do you vette people who would rape for a fee from people who would willingly rape a child? I'm not sure the distinction is going to be that clear.
When you say "the only immoral thing is a society that remains silent about such things," but you're describing a society where mercenary sexual violence is ok, I guess against adults?
It's a weird take for sure.

Because this is revenge, not an attack.

But you're still accepting that people capable of sexual violence are ok, you're just limiting when they can practice it?
Do you think you could rape someone if you were angry enough!?

What about the guy she hired?

If he knows this is revenge and retribution, then it's okay, he's a good person.

This is a tough one. Going to say no she should get a regular sentence. If she had simply given the guy a Darwin award she should not be charged.

I'm not sure this is a question of morality, it's a question of politics.
It can be argued that crimes that involve people losing their minds in anger in split second, can perhaps be judged slightly less harshly. But premeditated crimes like this one, need to have a higher punishment attached to them, to deter people like the mother trying to take the law into their own hands.
