are out to turn Santa into Satan. Killjoy bosses at the St Elli shopping centre in Llanelli, South Wales, have installed a webcam to spy on their Santa in case he is accused of being a paedophile. Manager Gilmour Jones said: “It protects both Santa and the children from allegations of abuse. “It was either this or not having a Santa’s grotto at all. It’s a sad sign of the times.” The child protection charity Kidscape added that youngsters should be banned from sitting on Santa’s knee. Director Michelle Elliot said: “Children should not sit on Santa’s knee. It’s a shame but you can’t vet all the people dressed as Santa. There’s no need to take the risk.” The Sun 10/12/04.
