A five-month-old baby suffered burns to 20 percent of his body while his mother was sunbaking on an English beach.
The little boy received the horrific burns at the beach in Brighton during Monday's 25C day — one of the region's hottest of the year.
Police were called to the scene after two community support officers spotted the infant in distress.
"An ambulance was called for the five-month-old baby who was visiting Brighton from London with his 29-year-old mother," The Sun quoted a Sussex Police spokesman as saying.
"Paramedics who attended the scene believed the boy was suffering from burns to a large percentage of his body."
"No arrests have been made but the matter has been passed to our colleagues in the Metropolitan Police, who will check to ensure there are no child protection issues."
The 29-year-old mother, from Plumstead in London, may face charges of neglect.
The boy remains under care at the Royal Sussex County Hospital.
Young children have an increased sensitivity to UV rays because their skin produces less melanin.

| ouch, though maybe they arent as aware of the sunburn issues as much due to their weather being alot cooler than ours. The mother should of been seeking some shade when she saw the bub getting red though, not exactly the place i would be taking a 5 month old. | |
