Sorry but I find that quite funny 

Most of the kids probably haven't learnt any words they didn't already know and use anyway

I can understand, but not condone, the reactions of the Santa. Years ago, I dressed up as a bear as part of a 'roadshow' we were doing in schools. In one of the schools, the little devils decided they were going to kick lumps out of me and my calls for them to stop and then my cries of pain just seemed to spur them on further. I was trapped against a wall and could not escape without knocking them all over. Eventually a teacher wandered over and put a stop to it however one kid still managed to land a telling blow as I departed.

Looking back on it, I can now laugh about it but I still wince, remembering just how hard those kids were able to kick

Reading through the comments of the so called eye witnesses - the child did not misbehave and throw stones and the santa did not shout, swear and storm off. So, no story there then.

Think the journalist wants a job with the tabloids ?  Shame NoTW closed, he'd fit right in ...

i'm totally confused.the child threw stones,the child didn't throw stones,santa swore,santa didn't swear.someone's telling porkies.

unfortunately we now live in an age where children seem to get little or no discipline and you don't get any in schools nowadays.since the cane is now banned and parents arn't allowed to smack their children things will only get worse.

without being able to decide who was at fault i'm erring on the side of santa.

I have to admit if my child was throwing stones (or kicking someone dressed as a bear) they would be taken to one side and told the error of their ways, just like I would have and my parents before me would have. Parents are meant to be there to look after and teach their children not be their best friends.
