Personal drama

When Caça Rato was 8, his father came home drunk and tried to hang him. When he was almost being hanged his uncle saved him.^[1][2]

Caça-Rato was also shot twice on 21 August 2010 in the town of Campinas, São Paulo. The incident took place during a party after a Guarani match — the team he played for at the time. Flavio got caught in an argument with two men, and one of them pulled a gun and shot him in the right leg and on the back. After staying in a hospital, Flavio was medicated and discharged. He started playing football again after a month.^[1]
