I think the old guy who jumped was the grandfather (their voices sounded like Vietnamese).

After looking at it again, you might be right. The man that said "are you alright" was an American talking to grandpa. I assumed the voice was that of the rescuer. But it still looks like the family walked off without ông nội.

I can't really blame the parents, they just wanted their child to get away from there.

These California sea lions are a pest up here a 100 Miles Upriver.

I did not realize they were a problem so far upriver. I don't remember seeing them when I was in Portland. Maybe the Williamette id too narrow and does not over enough food?

I do remember them in Monterrey. They had taken over a dock in town. It was a floating dock that was half sunk. There was a pecking order among the seals. The old and the young were in the water. There was a group in the submerged part of the dock, another on part of the dock that was a big awash. A couple of large males were in the totally dry section. Every once in a while, a male would challenge another male in the next section up. The loser got booted back into the water and had to start all over again. The old ones would stay in the water and did not seem to bother with any more challages.
