Did you hear about the Santa somewhere in Texas who is a convicted child molester (out after serving time) and is allowed to play Santa and have little kids sit in his lap?

I hadn't heard, but shame on the dodohead that thought that was a good idea. {#emotions_dlg.sneaky}

Please tell me this isn't true. That is against the law isn't it? Don't they have to stay far away from all children?

Baytown, Texas (KPRC/CNN) -- Residents of a Texas town are fearful and outraged. They've discovered that a man playing Santa Claus and inviting children to sit in his lap is a registered s3x offender.

But there's nothing they can do about it, because it's not against the law in Texas.

Shame on Texas for no laws on the books but I'd want to know who hired him and if now, since the word is out, do they intend to keep him!
