This guy was raping the girl for A HOUR before the mother walked in?
1. Why were no cried heard?
2. How do they know it was an hour?
3. How did he get in, how did he know a child was in the home?
I am sorry for being cynical but that other girl who was killed by her neighbor (savagely raped and beaten beforehand) was housed in a partying, pot-smoking, immoral home thta was known for looseness... I have to wonder about this one, too....
I am suspicious as well.
Remember the little girl in Salt Lake who hid under her bed for HOURS after her sister was kidnapped. Kids can get extremely compliant when they're terrified.
Personally, I need to remind my kids of the intruder rule when I get home (we haven't discussed it in a couple of years). My kids know that if someone comes into the house they are to RUN and SCREAM. If they can't do one, do the other no matter WHAT the intruder says. They know that it only takes one scream to get dad to come running, and that I've shot intruders before (long, painful story).
Of course, if someone were going after my kids, my wife would probably beat me to them (and though it pains me to admit it, she's a better shot than me).
