Boy's chilling emergency call
October 29, 2004 - 12:29PM
A seriously wounded eight-year-old calmly described his father's deadly knife rampage during a call to US emergency services.
"My daddy killed me with a knife and I'm gone," the boy told a dispatcher in Tacoma, on the US West Coast.
"Can you please send the Army men or the ambulance?"
The softly-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 began.
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 that what she was hearing was for real.
"He was extremely calm," she recalled.
"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 engine. Sukto has been charged with the murder of his wife, Pranee, 39, and attempted murder of his son. He has pleaded innocent.
Anthony underwent surgery for lacerations to his liver and is recovering.
Woodrow said she wants to visit the little boy. "I want to tell him how amazing he is," she said. "I don't think he knows that."

Holy shit.
That kid is
a) a hardass
b) brave, cool minded, unbelievably level headed
c) gonna have some serious issues
I'm both disgusted by the story and amazed at his resilience. Way to go kid. Pity your father was such a dick.
