Updated: 07/31/2009 06:51:56 PM PDT CHERRYLAND A Cherryland homeowner who opened a closet in her computer room after hearing noises around 4:30 a.m. Sunday was startled to find a naked boy hiding inside, police said Friday.
The frightened woman screamed and the boy ran, picking up his boxer shorts from the floor as he fled the Solana Avenue house, police said.
The boy, 12, was arrested Monday on burglary charges following an investigation in which police determined he may have broken into at least one other home nearby last week, Alameda County Sheriff's Sgt. J.D. Nelson said.
When investigators told the boy they had DNA evidence and surveillance video of him fleeing the home, he admitted to breaking into houses to use computers to access porn sites, Nelson said.
The boy, who was unidentified because he is a minor, is being held in the Alameda County Juvenile Justice Center. He is believed to be the same developmentally disabled boy who broke into a Hayward apartment June 30, wearing only shorts and socks, and tickled the feet of a sleeping girl, police said. At the time, Hayward police said the boy had a history of wandering into neighbors' homes. No charges were filed then.
"We do believe it was the same juvenile," Hayward police Capt. Darryl McAllister said Friday. "We have had some communication with the District Attorney's Office and we are anticipating they will be adding charges to the juvenile in association with our incident on June 30."
Investigators believe the boy entered both homes through unlocked doors.
"You have a 12-year-old kid who breaks into people's houses, sometimes when the homeowners are there, strips down, logs onto their computer, accesses Internet porn and masturbates," Nelson said. "I'm afraid that if this kid doesn't get some serious help soon, he's going to be a problem for law enforcement for a long time to come."
Apparently, the Cherryland woman had turned on the light in her computer room, opened the closet and pushed clothes aside when she bumped her hand against the boy.
"She got a pretty good look at him coming out of the closet," Nelson said.
Deputies knocked on doors Monday in Cherryland while investigating the incident, and at one of the houses they saw a boy in foster care who matched the description provided by the woman.
"We may have other victims in the Cherryland area and in the city of Hayward," he said. Anyone who believes the boy has broken into their home is urged to call authorities.

Whatever happened to Sears catalogs?
Hell, when you’re 12 and walking around with a perpetual HO, we all did something short of this.
I believe William Heirens (serial killer) got started in a similar way. He’s been in prison since 1946 — reputedly the longest prison sentence in the world.
You beat me to it. It was Bill Clinton, period.
"I understand you have a naked boy in your closet.
I'll be over in 10 minutes."
Too bad Jacko’s no longer here-BO could have invited him, Bawney Fwank and this freakazoid kid over to the White House for milk and cookies.......
He’ll straighten him out.
In Barney Frank’s dreams.
He is believed to be the same developmentally disabled boy .. who breaks into people's houses... strips down, logs onto their computer, accesses Internet porn and masturbates," He is believed to be the same developmentally disabled boy who broke into a Hayward apartment .. wearing only shorts and socks
uh 'developmentally disabled' ... what's that in ENGLISH? Creep? Sicko? Pervert? Sexual Deviant?
Nelson said. "I'm afraid that if this kid doesn't get some serious help soon, he's going to be a problem for law enforcement for a long time to come."
"Gee. Ya think."
Industrial Strength Humor Ping list would cover it, I think, after looking at some of these comments...
..used to do something similar..
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
That sounds like the “Oprah Syndrome”?
Heard that when she had a guest on that was alcoholic, she relived HER alcoholic past with them. When the guest was Lesbian, etc., etc.....
The ‘new age’ writers must think if they claim they ‘lived’ the problem they have more credibility..
Guess this is what happens when ‘WE INSIST SOMEONE BE QUALIFIED TO DO CERTAIN JOBS OR TASKS’.
Um.. actually, none of the above. It's someone with a very low IQ. You may or may not be aware of it, but all over the country, the developmentally disabled are being forced out of state institutions into the “community” to the detriment of both the patients and the communities. The liberals have decided that they have the right to be in the “least restrictive” placement no matter if it is good for them or not.
In practice that means that they are being forced into community care homes staffed by minimum wage workers with very little training, while the state facilities are staffed with highly trained, licensed professionals who know how to deal with whatever problems they may have.
One of the biggest problems is that those with the lowest IQ’s tend to wander away from the homes; and with very little safety awareness, they quickly become traffic statistics. Or they are victims of inadequate monitoring of their meds because the workers are so poorly trained.
Here in CA the state licenses these homes, but doesn't even require them to get building permits when they remodel the homes to make them handicapped accessible even though the state is paying for the remodeling.
He is developmentally disabled,,,,but,,,,he has the wit to break into houses, and he has the wit to use a computer to log into the internet and then to search for porn sites? This sounds like some convoluted dream of some liberal therapist.
Think 7 year old intelligence in the body of a teenager with raging hormones.
If this young man isn’t able to control his physical urges, he belongs in a place where he can’t hurt himself or others, such as a state facility, not roaming around the neighborhood.
They're both sad and dangerous. To a full grown adult, they were no risk, but they would engage in very inappropriate behavior with children if they got the chance. They viewed this behavior kind of like my dog views it when I catch her in the cat food. She knows she gets in trouble for it, but has no clue why.
Of course, just like any other group, some of them are just frikkin mean. I've also had some counselers tell me that low IQ boys and girls have a very high incidence of being sexually abused, so they often develop serious anger issues and act these out as adults. These people are truly dangerous.
In San Antonio recently, a developmentally disabled teen who was also a registered sex offender killed a nine year old neighbor.
Neither am I, but Michael Jackson was probably a subscriber.
Future Kos Kiddie and DUmmie a-bornin' lol.
I stole my mommies playboys
