    Okay, ignoring everything else that is terrible about this for a second, who would accept $20,000 to kill a child? And why?

    Like, I get hired killers probably have questionable morals to begin with, but even the worst of criminals in prison agree that doing bad things to children is too far. Criminals that commit criminal acts against children tend to not live very long in prison.
