You're kidding right?
The Italian mafia think nothing of taking children from families, holding them captive, holding them hostage for ransom, mutilating them, dissolving them in vats of acid, car bombings, feeding their enemies to starving pigs, killing members of the judiciary.......
Fuck the Italian mafia. At least the American mafia has some limits.
Don't go all nuts now. Unless it's during a turf war, or someone starts cooperating, they don't involve women and children as a rule.
And mafia holding children for ransom? Where did you hear that? They kidnapped, held, and tortured, the 11 year old boy, Giuseppe Di Matteo, because his father became pentito and wouldn't retract his testimony. And the man that kidnapped that boy did have remorse, but Brusca gave him an order, that's that. These instances are few and far between.
