A family remains hopeful for the recovery of 7-year-old Sofia Almonte, nearly four months after she was stabbed more than a dozen times by her own grandmother.
According to police, the grandmother slashed Sofia's throat and pierced vital organs with a kitchen knife. By some miracle the first grader survived.On Monday, Sofia was transferred to the Children's Hospital in New Brunswick for long-term therapy. To the family's absolute delight, she sat in a wheelchair. They call it another miracle.The grandmother, now at Riker's, is Jose Almonte's mother, which leaves him choked between loyalty to her and devotion to his daughter.
"My mother is not a criminal. Something happened that day. Devil. I don't know. She was a loving grandmother," he said. So far, Sofia has defeated the odds, but there's a long road ahead. She breaths and eats through tubes and at the moment, does not recognize anyone."I don't know when, but I know she's going to be Sofia again," Jose Almonte said.
