"It's terrible," the mother of a Packer fifth grade girl told The Post Friday morning. "We're all shocked." The arrest has left parents feeling betrayed and concerned for their children's safety.
Another Packer parent expressed anger over Morton's past reputation as a baseball star leading to insufficient scrutiny, saying, "The vetting of him wasn't as rigorous as it might have been if he were an outsider."
Prosecutors allege Morton groomed and abused seven boys aged 12 to 14, revealing the severity of the case and raising alarms about oversight mechanisms at the school.
Parents fear other potential victims may remain silent, with one suggesting, "There are students who had exposure but weren't included in the indictment due to statute limitations."
