Cayetano Godino’s Violent Childhood

Future Argentinian serial killer Cayetano Santos Godino showed violent behavior early in Buenos Aires during the early 1900s. At ages 7 and 8, police caught him beating smaller children, but officers released him because he was too young to face punishment. By age 10, his own parents reported him to authorities for public masturbation, and the court jailed him for two months. The early arrests documented a pattern of disturbing behavior years before Godino later escalated to arson and murder as a notorious serial killer in Argentina.
