Insights
1Government-Backed Child Exploitation for Rituals and Assassinations
Beto asserts that the brutal training he received after being kidnapped at age 9, which included desensitization to violence and learning to kill, was preparation to work for a network of government officials and public figures. His tasks involved abducting children for ritual sacrifices in places like Veracruz and carrying out contract killings for these powerful individuals. He claims this network specifically recruited children because they were 'without owners' and less likely to be traced or claimed.
Beto states, 'me a mí me transformaron para trabajar para el gobierno... yo hacía el trabajo sucio... matar a quien te estorbara, eh hacer ofrendas a sus a sus muertos... muchos de ellos sí son satánicos, les gusta hacer rituales... me iba a Veracruz con los niños y allí hacían sus sacrificios' (, , , , ). He adds, 'el gobierno nos contrataba puro chamaco, porque no había nada. Y luego sin dueño no había nada de que preocuparse' ().
2Retribution Killing of Abusive Adoptive Father
At age 10, Beto sought out and murdered his adoptive father, who had severely abused and sexually assaulted him during the year he lived with him. He describes torturing his abuser, removing his fingernails and burning him, and 'enjoying' the act as a form of revenge for the suffering inflicted upon him. He explicitly states he felt no remorse, viewing it as paying 'with the same coin.'
Beto recalls, 'tenía 10 años y fue el güey ese que me vio... lo saqué de su trabajo y lo maté... le quité las uñas de los pies y de las manos. Lo quemé... En esos momentos la estaba gozando... yo nada más le pagué con la misma moneda' (, , , , ).
3Preference for Street Life over Criminal Wealth
Despite achieving significant wealth through his criminal activities—owning apartments in Polanco, luxury cars, and unlimited spending—Beto felt a profound emptiness and loneliness. He preferred his earlier life in the 'coladeras' (sewers/street encampments), where, despite poverty and hardship, he experienced a sense of community, belonging, and genuine connection that his criminal wealth could not buy. He regularly returned to his street friends to share food and resources, even enduring beatings from police for doing so.
Beto states, 'A los 11 años yo ya vivía en Polanco, yo ya tenía mi departamento, pero ¿qué crees que siempre solo... el dinero no es todo, que después de todo eso yo me había preferido vivir todavía en las coladeras' (, , ). He explains, 'en la coladera sí vives al día y con lo que hay, pero no te preocupas, no le haces daño a la gente... estábamos riéndonos' (, ). He also mentions, 'cada 8 días yo iba a mis coladeras a llevarles de comer' ().
Bottom Line
Beto's perception of abducting children was sometimes framed as 'saving them' from a potentially worse life or preventing them from suffering what he did, rather than solely as a criminal act.
This reveals a deeply twisted moral framework, where extreme trauma can lead an individual to rationalize horrific actions as a perverse form of protection or mercy, highlighting the psychological damage inflicted by early life experiences.
Understanding such rationalizations is critical for developing more effective psychological interventions for individuals involved in organized crime, focusing on deconstructing distorted cognitive patterns rooted in trauma.
Beto views his incarceration not as a punishment to escape, but as a form of 'containment' that limits his capacity to cause further harm, and he expresses no interest in being released.
This perspective challenges the conventional rehabilitative goals of incarceration, suggesting that for some individuals with deep-seated trauma and violent tendencies, prison serves a 'public safety' function by physically limiting their actions, rather than necessarily 'curing' their underlying issues. It implies a recognition of his own 'demons' and a lack of belief in his ability to function harmlessly outside.
This insight could inform policy discussions around long-term incarceration for individuals deemed irredeemable, shifting focus from rehabilitation (which may not be desired or possible) to effective containment and harm reduction, while acknowledging the societal failures that led to their state.
Lessons
- Investigate and strengthen child protection services to prevent abandonment and severe abuse, which are foundational to cycles of violence and exploitation.
- Implement robust oversight mechanisms to detect and dismantle criminal networks that exploit vulnerable populations, especially children, and involve public officials.
- Develop trauma-informed care and rehabilitation programs within the justice system that address the root causes of violence and distorted moral frameworks in individuals like Beto, even if they express no regret.
Notable Moments
Beto was abandoned as an infant and adopted at age 5, only to endure a year of severe abuse and sexual assault before escaping to the streets at 6.
This early, profound trauma and lack of stable care set the foundation for his later life of violence and detachment.
At age 9, Beto was kidnapped and trained for over a year in a 'perrera' alongside other children, learning to kill and be desensitized to violence.
This was a critical turning point, transforming a traumatized child into a tool for a criminal network, highlighting extreme child exploitation.
Beto killed his adoptive father, his abuser, at age 10, describing the act as 'enjoyable' and a form of justice.
This act demonstrates the complete breakdown of moral boundaries and the profound impact of unaddressed trauma, leading to a cycle of violence.
Despite accumulating significant wealth through his criminal activities, Beto felt empty and preferred the communal, albeit impoverished, life on the streets.
This illustrates that material gain cannot compensate for fundamental human needs like belonging and genuine connection, and highlights the psychological cost of a life of crime.
