LONDON (Reuters) - A Father Christmas will have a webcam in his grotto to overcome parents' concerns after a number of high-profile paedophile cases in the past few years.
The St Elli shopping centre in Llanelli, south Wales, said children taking part in the traditional Christmas ritual of telling Santa their gift wishes would also sit beside him rather than on his knee.
"It's a sad sign of the times," St Elli manager Gilmour Jones was quoted as saying by the Guardian on Friday.
"But I'm afraid that it was either this or not having Santa's grotto at all."
