Bryan morto runs a Little League for about 400 baseball-mad children in Camden, New Jersey. When he asked someone driving an all-terrain vehicle on the baseball field to leave, the driver threatened him with a gun. Like so many of Camden's 77,000 residents, Mr Morton is well acquainted with violence. One of his players, a six-year-old, was brutally murdered in September. The little boy's throat was slashed when he tried to stop his sister from being assaulted by a drug-crazed burglar. His death marked the 45th murder in Camden in 2012. The year ended with 67, an all-time high for the city. Camden, once known as the "biggest little city in the world", is one of the most dangerous places in America. The violence is fuelled by gang wars and a flourishing drug trade.
