The father of a little boy in Calabria never really payed attention to his son until several years back, when members of the N'drangheta tried to extort the father for a piece of his stone-cutting business. They kidnapped his young son and held him as leverage and ransom, then demanded a percentage of the man's business for the boy's safe return.

The loving father, of course, ended up paying this ransom and giving up a piece of his hard earned business. He realized that he had always taken the boy for granite!
