Parents of girl dragged into water by sea lion slam dock officials

After the heroic senior hauled her out, the family rushed the girl to B.C. The family of the little girl who was dragged underwater by a sea lion has finally come forward — revealing the child is relatively unscathed and hitting back at dock officials who said her relatives were stupid for letting her feed a wild animal. Also, they weren't trying to take pictures or anything," the girl's father told the CBC Tuesday, giving only the family's surname, Lau. "That's a lesson she took and she has taken that lesson in a hard way," he told the CBC. I could have gone organizing a funeral by now rather than doing interview," he told the Canadian outlet.
