The Sopranos was one of the greatest gangster epics in history. Tony Soprano was ruthless about his paper, wasn't he? He had no problem whacking his own relatives if they broke the code or messed up some money. Soprano was a serial adulterer but there two people in his life that he really loved. Tony loved his children. In one episode, Meadow came to her dad with the story of a grisly old gangster who had verbally disrespected her. Tony's face doesn't show much emotion in the moment but he saves his most savage beating of the entire 6 series epic for that fool. Tony loved his daughter and demanded that others respect her. He might have shot, stabbed or run over a zip code full of people but he never raised an angry hand to his children.
The Sopranos is only television but there's a point here. No matter who you are, no matter what your beliefs, we have to protect our children. What type of society have we become when we can ride by the commercial sexual exploitation of our children and not even bat an eyelash? Oakland has become a epicenter for child prostitution. What are you prepared to do? What would Tony do?
