A young boy who was left permanently disfigured after stepping on a disposable barbeque has made a milestone step in his recovery.
Will Tyler, 11, had to have skin grafts from his right thigh to his left foot after stepping on a patch of sand which had become scalding due to a disposable barbecue which had been left on it, and which seared through the skin of his feet. As well as being left with lifelong scars, the youngster was left with severe mental trauma, including PTSD.
At the time of the incident two years ago, he had to be carried 20 minutes from Formby Beach to the family car before being taken to the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital.
