NextImg:Aunt defends parents of missing Indiana teen Scottie Morris

The aunt of the missing Indiana teen who went missing after being forced by his parents to wear a bizarre T-shirt saying “I hurt my lil brother” is insisting the family is not at fault.

Scottie Dean Morris, 14, of Eaton, Indiana was last seen around 8:30 p.m. local time on E Indiana Avenue on March 16 and disappeared under bizarre circumstances.

“The family did nothing wrong and are going threw enough and don’t need the negativity,” Aunt Melissa Morris May wrote on the Facebook group she created called  “Help Find My Nephew Scottie Morris”

Scottie was last seen wearing a white T-shirt with hand-written messages that said “I’m a liar,” “I hurt my lil brother” and “cheat”.

Police later revealed that his parents, Felicia and Brian Morris, forced him to don the shirt, but said the parents are not suspects and passed polygraph tests about their son’s disappearance.

“Thank you to everyone for joining the group to help find Scottie.. Please just remember there will be no bashing or accusing of the family or you will be removed immediately,” Morris May wrote. 

Police announced they suspended the search for Scottie on Tuesday, but his aunt said she isn’t giving up hope.

In another post, aunt Morris May wrote: “Bring Scottie Home!! Dad misses you and he loves you and wants you home!”
