On the how, it's likely that both parents work (with 12 and 10 year old daughters at school it's unlikely the mother would be in all day).
All the chap had to do was play dead til the house emptied (08.00? 08.30 latest?) then he'd have the place to himself until after school. I agree that I couldn't have kept someone hidden in my room, but then I shared with my (uncooperative) sister and my parents believed that privacy bred mischief. I can certainly imagine school friends of mine at that age managing it though.

We believed that if I were to trust them, they had to show trust in me. (unless I broke it)
When I was a teen I caught my Mom going through my stuff (later I found out she needed a cig). I went out and purchased a locking trunk and combo lock. |

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. Stormie
