The parents of the boy whose Christmas wish was denied by a mall Santa in Illinois on the grounds of political incorrectness have decided to use the situation to benefit other children.
Michael DeCarlo, Jr. of Norridge, Illinois came to the Santa at Harlem Irving Plaza with just one request: A Nerf gun. DeCarlo s mother videoed the interaction in hopes of capturing a memorable moment, but as she recently told Fox & Friends, she was shocked when the Santa impersonator told her son that Father Christmas could not deliver any guns.
Police in Milford, Conn., arrested a mall Santa on Monday for allegedly exposing himself to a teenaged co-worker. Prince Carter, 45, faces charges of fourth-degree sexual assault.
