A mom who thought her toddler loved meeting a mall Santa discovered he was signaling for help after looking at a snap of his encounter.
Kerry Spencer had taught her kids to baby sign before they could speak so they could communicate while they were infants. But she never expected 1-year-old son, Samuel, to use his skill to send out an SOS while sitting on Santa’s lap. Terrified, the toddler resorted to using his baby version of ASL to sign “Help” to his mom while the photographer at the Provo Town Center Mall in Provo, Utah, snapped a picture.
Kerry told Today parents: “I was standing to the side when the pic was taken and actually didn’t see that he was signing for help until I saw the photo. “Poor buddy didn’t love Santa very much, ever really. So we didn’t try to get him to go much after that.”
