Looks like Santa is joining the list, together with terrorists, pedophiles, and rogue photographers;

Children Banned From Santa's Lap

Santas in Switzerland have been banned from sitting children on their laps amid concerns about paedophilia.

Calls from worried parents prompted the country's Society of St Nicholases to tell their members not to sit youngsters on their knees in the traditional manner.

Holy Lord.

I wonder what the stats are...how many children worldwide have been assaulted by pedophile Santas? I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I don't recall ever hearing a story about it. :(

What, are those people leaving their kids with Santa while they run off and take care of some errands or something?!

Everytime we've seen Santa at the mall there were as many parents in the line as kids, you know holding their hand, sharing in the excitement. Then once the kid gets there the cameras are rolling, etc...
