<p>Camela and Antonio emigrated to the United States where they married and settled in New York City. They</p><p>spent time in Manhattan where Antonio became involved with the organization that unofficially ran the docks.</p><p>Following his successful association with the union and the mob Antonio was able to move his family to the</p><p>suburbs of Brooklyn and settled in an area known as Bensonhurst. It was there where he and Carmela raised</p><p>the rest of the Balaticco family which included eight children three sons and five daughters. Although Antonio</p><p>tried to steer his children away from the workings of the mob two of three sons became involved in organized</p><p>crime. Before Antonio died he asked his oldest son Dominic to save his youngest son Michael from further</p><p>involvement with the mob. Dominic used extreme measures to stop Michael but was unsuccessful and Michael</p><p>joined his other brother Frank operating in the crime family. An anonymous call to the police ultimately lead</p><p>to Frank's arrest and incarceration. Frank blamed his brother Dominic for the police raid and vowed to seek</p><p>revenge. Franks's revenge plan backfired and forced his other brother Michael to get caught in a catastrophic</p><p>event. The event was so devastating that it led to the unfortunate elimination of other Balaticco family members.</p><p>An unforeseen chain of events from which the Balaticco family never recovered had been put into motion. The</p><p>resulting negative effects jeopardized any possible future for what had been a characteristically strong Italian</p><p>and loyal group of inseparable siblings.</p>
