Toddler, 1, is left with horrific burns across his feet and legs after selfish act on public beach

A one-year-old child walking on a beach near a San Diego park was left with severe burns on his feet and legs after he stepped on burning coal hidden in the sand. 

Sennan Goldberg was rushed to the hospital with second-degree burns after the child accidentally stepped on hot coals buried under a pile of sand and dirt at Kellogg Park last week. 

His mother, Sarah Goldberg recounted: 'Full-thickness second-degree burns through the middle of his feet. Through the sides, over on top of his toes. 

'The skin fell off within minutes. We're lucky that we live so close that we rushed him to the ER. He's in a lot of pain. He's screaming at night; he's got severe separation anxiety.'

As a result, the young toddler has been forced to cover his injuries in layers of gauze under thick socks and visit burn specialists nearly every day. 

Since then, the family has begun for a total ban on outdoor charcoal fires - especially those occurring in public places. 

'I'm advocating now for a complete ban on charcoal grills in the vicinity of where children are encouraged to play. 

'The two are just not compatible,' the distressed mother told 10News. 

According to the City of San Diego's municipal code, 'it is unlawful for any person to build, maintain, use, or be within ten feet of a fire in any beach area that is not in a City-provided fire ring or contained within a portable propane-fueled device, unless approved in writing by the City Manager.'

The law also states that all unused fire material, refuse or rubbish adjacent must be removed from the beach area and the adjacent public areas of the beach or park.

But it seems that the city law is seldom followed as San Diego Burn Institute's Carlos Olivares revealed that multiple people end up injured by stepping on hot coals at the beach every year. 

'It's not always red when it's hot. Sometimes it could be gray and it could be steaming hot still, so it's very dangerous. My suggestion is to always throw it and dispose it into the coal areas assigned by the county,' the expert noted. 

This beach tragedy comes months after a seven-year-old girl died after the sand hole she was digging collapsed on top of her in Florida. 

Her nine-year-old brother was also trapped in the hole on the beach at Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, when it collapsed but he survived.

Witnesses said the children were digging the hole and playing inside of it when the ground gave way. Cell phone footage show the moment a crowd of desperate beachgoers started trying to dig them out before firefighters arrived.

Other children stood and watched as the dreadful scene unfolded before their eyes. 

They were both rushed to hospital but the girl was declared dead on arrival.

Spokesperson for Pompano Beach Fire, Sandra King, told DailyMail.com that the hole was about five to six feet deep when it collapsed leaving the boy buried up to his chest with the girl completely buried beneath him.
