Women and children have gotten hit before, correct?

Does the american lcn or italian version have unwritten rules preventing such attacks?

My knowledge of lcn is VERY VERY limited and doesn't go beyond fictionalized accounts of it in pop culture...and having said that...Didn't young pre-teen Don Vito flee his native Corleone, Sicily because there was a greenlight on him because of a vendetta involving his father ?

I'm not being callous about the death of the young boy, just have a hard time believing that there wasn't already documented case of organized crime greenlighting hits on women and kids.
