A worried mum has posted pictures of a nasty burn her son received while playing with his dad earlier today.

Her son was at the skate park in Ross-on-Wye on Thursday, July 5th, when his arm came into contact with the metal on one of the ramps.

He was screaming and Mum, Michelle, told the Ross Gazette that when his dad felt it he realised just how hot it was.

Michelle said that she just wants people to realise how hot metal can get in this weather and to tell their children to take care. She said: “I would not want another child to get hurt like this.”
