Today, I took my younger sister to see Santa for a photo. Santa insisted that I was in the photo too. I wasn't sure why he made such a big deal about it until he groped me while the photo was being taken. FML

Hi all, OP here! I hope you're all having a fantastic festive season with your family and friends :)! I've read some interesting comments and just wanted to address a few things.... Firstly, I'm in my twenties and I'm midway through my law degree, so I'm quite aware of my rights (in australia for those of you who were unaware). More importantly, I did deal with this properly. At the store we went to, there were several rooms and each had a different Santa to make the process a little quicker. This is good because it meant that no other child saw what happened. When it did happen, I was pretty horrified but I kept my cool because I didn't want to alarm my young sister who was very excited to be there. After we left the room, I went up to the service counter and explained everything. The lady profusely apologized and I'm pretty sure this "Santa" was removed straight away. Although it was a massive FML moment and I definitely felt violated, as long as this doesn't happen to anyone else, I'm happy to erase this from my memory and move on! I've been assured that this man has lost his working with children check and hopefully won't be bothering anyone again! Warm wishes from Aus, Michelle

I see many people assuming that OP is an adult. IS she? The authorities need to be alerted about this, and any other perv Santa. We don't know at what age he's starting to molest the kids. He should have his nuts dipped in a hot oil fryer!

You should have slapped that creep! I know you would have alarmed your sister but still you need to give him what he deserves!

#136, slapping him would have scarred her sister...imagine seeing someone slap Santa when you were a child? And, she gets to walk away with her pride that she dealt with it in a dignified way.

136, there are better ways to handle situations and clearly OP did it the smart way. The smart way is sometimes the best. In this case,"Santa" won't be working with children anymore and may find it extremely hard to find another job. I'm sure that hurts more than a slap.

Nicely done! Hope you and your sister, and the rest of your family, have a great Christmas.

I think losing his job and license to work with children is more "getting what he deserved" than a slap in the face....

You were a smart cookie! Your a strong woman. Most people who felt that way you did would have made a scene,but you care for what your sister and other children would have felt. Kudos to you. :)
