In their teens John Gotti's father, John Joseph Gotti, Sr. ran the streets with Ed Carfano and some other troublemakers in what seems to have been a youth gang, pulling burglaries and whatnot. Anyone know much about this? I'm interested in hearing more about the youth gangs of NY, in general, which served as a training ground for many mobsters. It is said that Anthony Carfano likely cut his teeth with the Oliver and Cherry Street youth gangs. I never lie because I don't fear anyone. You only lie when you're afraid. - John Gotti
