Speaking to Newswatch, her father Sven Skanke, says her first instincts was to try and protect the people on their property.
"This was happening in micro-seconds - there was no time to put the child down. There was a BMW that raced off - it could have hit someone or the dogs. She couldn't put the child down and didn't want to just run off into the house and just abandon everybody. So, her instincts were to stay and fight."
