Doug Ford is standing by his remarks that a group home for autistic and emotionally unstable children should be moved from an Etobicoke neighborhood. The home opened at 22 Jeffcoat Drive about three weeks ago. Mr. Ford calls it a “nightmare” for residents. He has told CP24 that his “heart goes out” to families with autistic children, but he said this issue is about kids in the residential home who have “violent tendencies.” “I’ve been a Rotarian for 25 years helping kids with challenges, but you can’t disrupt the neighbourhood like that,” Ford said. “Anyone who wants to criticize, I’d be more than happy to take their address and we’ll put the house right next door to them and see how they like it.” .
