Santa Claus is facing the sack from a Dutch shopping centre after he smacked a young boy for pulling his beard.Santa hit the boy on the backside in front of dozens of shoppers in the town of Rijswijk. Defending his actions, he said: "If I hadn’t done that, he would have pulled off my beard and dozens of children would have been traumatised." No more milk and cookies for this guy!

Traumatize one for the good of the many?
I agree with Whitney.
Bad children don't get presents and they just might be smacked. I don't really have a problem with that. I assume he warned the kid to stop first. It is one of those lessons of life.
I am afraid I disagree here. I am sure I will never hit or spank my son (nor have I ever). Physical correction is a wrong imprint for a child's future.
The only physical contact we have is about hugging. That we do a lot though..
Adults should never, ever, touch children any other way.
