AS a father of an adult with severe learning difficulties I was appalled by the article on the front page last week.

I fully agree with the comments made by Mrs Green. The residents should find more information regarding the new home and the company, Carictas, before complaining.

Adults with learning difficulties did not ask to be born the way they are and they have the right to have the same opportunities as any body else.

My own son lives in a house run by Carictas in another borough and I can assure the residents that they have nothing to worry about as they will find out.
