I think there is a fine line between giving your child privacy and neglecting their well-being. I don't rummage through my children's things uninvited, but the house they live in is paid for by me, and I'm going to make sure it is fairly sanitary and in good repair. Thus, I enter their rooms to check windows, lighting, and furniture condition on a regular basis. We have a good relationship as well, so I am often invited in and proudly shown their world.

I don't doubt the incident happened as was stated, I just have a hard time understanding the apparent lack of interest and/or supervision this girl was shown. I also don't see how these parents could fail to notice another presence in the home. They didn't notice food missing? Things moved around? Higher water/electric bills? Unfamiliar scents? I dunno, maybe I could be conned like that, but the intruder would have to be absolutely, perfectly invisible.
