Man Dressed as Santa Clause Charged with Kidnapping

It was a good thing the father caught up with him. I don't think that I would make my children stop believing but you never know so keep a close eye on your kids and never let them be alone with anyone you don't know.
I just don't get these guys who do this to little girls or boys. It just makes me sick.

I haven't heard of such a thing. It is so scary. One must watch out for their children much more carefully then they did gererations ago.

Now why am i not surpise. The news stations here in L.A. did an undercover investagation to see if employers screen their santas when hiring. The news station got a preten santa and also post a fake child molesting charge on records just to see if it comes up when they investigate. Guess what happen? The santa records when clean.

I never herd of something like this happening, but I wouldn't let my daughter near any type of stranger anyway.

There ain't no Santa Claus and there should no wearing santa clause anymore

its a sad day when a kid needs to be told to not trust santa clause but unfornately as parents we must teach our kids to not be so trusting even of santa clause.

wow thats gotta ruin santa's reputation yeah?
anyway shame on the man for using santa claus to commit crimes
serves him right to be caught
hehe

Sadly, we have to warn our kids that ANYONE could abuse them. But I wouldn't ban Santa because of this, Santa Claus is still an important symbol of generosity, and I don't see people stopping the tradition.

Too scary, I hope that guy rots in prison, he's probably already abused kids.

I am so happy the girl is safe. Thank you God. I think child preditors are coming up with many different ways now to come up with victims, since some of their usual methods have been exposed and we are now warning our children about them. Yes if my kids were small, I would think twice about leading them to believe in "all" Santa's...or Easter Bunnies...or what have you. I don't know how we are able to protect today's children without completely ruining their childhood and making them suspicious of everyone around them. As long as their are preditors out on the streets, the problem will only continue. It is so sad.

This doesn't change anything for me. If it wasn't santa clause. Then it would be a clown, or a balloon guy, or whatever happens to be trendy and catch the childs attention. They do this on purpose so if Santa wasn't popular they would just pick the next best thing.
