Man that is so true..and predators who have been stalking any family, can simply be like a snake, with lots of patience, just waiting for the perfect opportunity. On the other hand the creep could have been clearly on a revenge trip, and did something he would have never done if sober.
If the idiot predator has been planning for a long time and knows that the family is "overly comfortable" in their surroundings, (brenda and he exchanged #'s, she went in his house w/kids w/indicates a safe factor and trust) well they can be the next target. While the parents were idiots in this day and age to not check the kids etc....it's the fault of the predator who did this to danielle. Most people take for granted that their neighors are not harmful..IMHO, everyone, especially those with kids can do themselves a great favor and get a list of sex offenders in their community. A single friend of mine who has one child, taped a pic of a predator who lived a couple of blocks away underneath the peep hole on her front door so she and her daughter would recognize him if he ever knocked...she didn't keep it up after the child got older.. So far the evidence indicates that the people who entered the home were so-called friends. Maybe during the defense's presentation of evidence, they'll prove strangers entered the home..I'm waiting on that.
