Jesus did not say to do that! He said it would be better for them if that had happened, meaning God's vengeance upon them will be great. Do not incur the Lord's wrath by twisting His words. He specifically warns us about that.

Who are you to interpret what Jesus meant? You're the one twisting Jesus' words. He very clearly stated it would be better for his followers to drown people who offend children, than to wait for God to punish them. Jesus even gave a specific method of drowning them. It is rare to see a specific method of punishment, but God did establish those methods in several specific cases such as Leviticus. This is one of the few cases in the New Testament.

Matthew 18:6 " But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea."

In no way can a person with even the most tenuous grasp of the English language interpret that as a command to do something. It is a comparison, nothing more.

I am not interpreting what Jesus meant. I am reading and understanding his words. You are the "interpreter" and doing a horrible job at that.
