    Holy cow, this is so sad and yet so cool. I'm guessing the kid will live. He's awesome :

    http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/10/28/child.stabbed.ap/index.html

    --------------------------------------------------------

    TACOMA, Washington (AP) -- A seriously wounded 8-year-old boy calmly described his father's deadly knife rampage during a call for help to 911. "My daddy killed me with a knife and I'm gone," the boy told a dispatcher. "Can you please send the Army men or the ambulance?"

    The soft-spoken child gave a wrong address and then hung up. But a second dispatcher called back, keeping him on the line while a frantic search was under way.

    On Wednesday, authorities released the remarkable tape of Anthony Sukto's calm courage during the October 22 ordeal, and the frantic efforts to find him.

    "What's going on there?" asked dispatcher Kristine Woodrow.

    "My daddy killed me with a butcher knife," Anthony said.

    "How did that happen if you are talking to me?" Woodrow asked.

    "Because," Anthony answered. "I don't know what happened, but something. He grabbed knives. I woke up. My dad, he was killing my mom and then my, my, my dad told me to go onto the other bed and then he's like, 'You're next,' and then he killed me. I'm still alive. I kind of survived."

    Woodrow said she wasn't sure if what she was hearing was for real.

    "He was extremely calm," she recalled Wednesday. "It wasn't a typical response from someone who had just witnessed what he witnessed or had just been attacked."

    Woodrow said while police and firefighters tried to find where Anthony was calling from, she tried to keep him on the phone.

    "Are you bleeding, Anthony?" she asked. "Uh huh," he answered.

    "Where are you bleeding from?" she asked. "From my stomach," he said.

    "Are you there by yourself?" Woodrow asked. "No. My mom is already dead and I am the only survivor," he said.

    Authorities found the home minutes later when the child's father, Tony Sukto, 36, flagged down a fire truck. Sukto has been charged with the murder of his wife, Pranee, 39, and attempted murder of his son, and has pleaded innocent.

    Anthony underwent surgery for lacerations to his liver and is recovering.

    Woodrow said she wants to visit the little boy to tell him something she didn't get a chance to before.

    "I want to tell him how amazing he is," she said. "I don't think he knows that."

    That's amazing and a miracle that he survived and was so calm. Now for the father, I don't even know what to say. I'm to angry too type anything coherent, I just hope he gets his 10 fold.

    Finally, something useful to do with those gas sucking Hummers... get two of them, facing away from each other, and chain the son of a ***** to them, spread-eagled, and very, very, very, very slowly drive in opposite directions.

    God help the child. May the mother rest in peace.

    Focus on the incredible little boy, ignore the rest. Then it's a beautiful story of strength.

    This brings tears of anger to my eyes.

    That poor boy has been traumatized for life, and his mom is gone.

    I hope they fry that b*stard, a father's job is to protect and to provide a safe place to grow up....

    GRRRRR

    We had a double-murder/suicide around here over the weekend here. A mother killed her husband, 3 dogs, and 14 YO daughter before turning the gun on herself.

    I'm so glad this little guy is going to be okay.

    As a father, I cannot comprehend how any parent can harm their child. I guess I can somewhat fathom how an argument with a spouse can lead to violence, but how the hell do you come to the point of killing your child. It is sick enough when I stranger harms and innocent child, but a parent harming their own child is the sickest form of evil.

    Just makes you look at your life a little bit differently and think twice about how hard you think you have it when you read stuff like this...and realize your life is so much easier than you think.

    If he pleads guilty he can't claim any sort of defense (e.g. insanity) at trial.

    Wow what a brave, amazing little guy! Here's hoping he can somehow recover (especially mentally) and have a great life.

    As for the father, well all I can say is sometimes I can't beleive the restraint policmen have. I would have had a hard time not beating that SOB to within inches of his life.

    He probably had a last minute story of someone else doing it and flagged down the firetrucks to "get help". I don't think he was banking on his son telling the truth or even being alive.

    Sad. :(
