Girl, 7, badly burns foot after standing on BBQ buried in the sand on Swansea beach

A seven-year-old girl has suffered serious burns on her foot after standing on a disposable barbecue which had been buried in the sand on a beach in Wales.The girl had only just arrived on Swansea Bay beach with her mother Alex Adenaike and other family members when she let out what Alex described as a"horrifying scream".

At first the family thought Simi had stood on some glass or been stung by a bee but then they discovered the still hot BBQ covered in sand.Alex told Swansea Council:"We had only just arrived at the beach and were looking forward to having some fun. The children started playing almost immediately and had been running around in the sand. We heard a horrifying scream and my daughter came running back."She was in so much pain, she was unable to tell us what happened.

"We had some help from some other visitors on the beach to cool down the burn with water and we got her to hospital immediately."

Be careful when walking dogs on beaches for this reason, as there’s no NHS for animal injuries.

Swansea beach is horrendous and has been for years. The amount of litter under the sand is disgusting including glass. SwanseaCouncil need to sort it out rather than just concentrating on Gower beaches.

Burnt my finger on the grill this morning, let me know when you’ll be here to take a picture of me looking sad

Was she vaccinated?

If my child stood on a disposable barbecue 🍖 I would let the media and the local authorities know about the danger that they cause But I wouldn’t parade my child in front of the cameras, just to get my point across

Never walk barefoot on the beach. 🙄

This is news?

Let’s get our hair and make up done and head back to the beach for a photo but make sure we do really really sad faces ok
