Roy DeMeo was a hood father as wrote his son Alfred in a book,same think for Spikotto that said to his son that the best thing is to study. In my opinion most of second generation mobsters understood that the life isnt like in his father's times and
tried to dissuade their sons to follow his way but some like Leonetti was attracked by the money and like other complained this explecially if are serving long sentences.
Plus many father that served times arent present in their sons lives and this led to alcol and drug abuse.
