ABC News: Boy calls 911 says 'My Daddy killed me'

"Aug. 25, 2005--If you saw Anthony Sukto, you wouldn't think he's any different from most little boys. He's just as playful and cheerful.

But many people call him a hero. Less than a year ago, Anthony's father stabbed his mother to death before the boy's eyes in their home in Tacoma, Wash. Then he turned the knife on Anthony.

The eight year-old was stabbed six times--slashed in the face, neck and chest and cut twice in the liver. Despite bleeding profusely, he managed to call 911.

When emergency worker Kristin Woodrow answered the call, she heard the boy's plaintive cry: 'Please help me!'

He continued, 'My daddy killed me with a knife and I'm gone. Can you please send the army men or the ambulance?'

Anthony gave an address, and then suddenly hung up. Woodrow called back. Anthony explained to her: 'My daddy killed me with a butcher knife.'

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

'My dad, he was killing my mom and then, my dad told me to go into the other bed,' Anthony said. 'Then he's like "You're next" and then he killed me. I'm still alive. I kind of survived.'

"...Anthony says he wasn't acting alone. 'God helped me. He sent his angel,' he told Quinones. 'The angel carried me to dial 911.'

Anthony says that as he lay there bleeding, he actually heard a voice telling him to play dead until his father left the house. 'I heard "I will save you" ' he told Quinones.
...
He still has nightmares about the day his mom was killed, but today Anthony is recovering surpisingly well-thanks to the love of his family and friends and thanks to those 'angels' who he says saved his life."
