A dad has called for disposable barbecues to be banned after his son was left permanently scarred thanks to one being used on a beach. Toby Tyler's son Will needed skin grafts and has been and has been left with lifelong scars after stepping on hot sand where a barbecue had been used.
The family had moved the barbecue hours earlier but the sand was still "red hot" when Will walked over it. Mr Tyler, a teacher, had to carry his then nine-year-old son for 20 minutes to get him to the car. From there he rushed Will to hospital with wife Claire, 44, and daughter Lily, 13, reports MEN.
He suffered burns so severe that the youngster, who is now 11, had to have skin grafts from his right thigh to his left foot.
