Those parents should be shot. What kind of moron thinks it's safe to leave three children under the age of four in an unlocked hotel room? The level of stupidity is mind-boggling.
They left the door unlocked?! :o I had some sympathy before since as a child I was always left alone in hotel rooms whilst my parents were downstairs eating dinner (as were most of the other children in the hotels we stayed at - the world was considered a safer place back then). My brother and I never came to any harm and it was only for a couple of hours or so. I did think it was rather stupid that they had left their children in an hotel and actually left the building to eat somewhere else but I didn't really think much else about it. Leaving the door unlocked though? That's just stupid. That's just so stupid I can't even think of a better word to describe it. Why would you ever think that was a good idea?
Back on the subject of Sims hotels, I read that part about the changelotzoning cheat in the booklet thing as well. So does this mean that like dorms in University they don't really intend that players should build them? Otherwise surely they would have added an option to the interface so you could choose when you placed a lot down? Perhaps that was too much effort though.
That's been bothering me since I first heard about the case. I, too, was an occasional "stay in the room" kid at hotels when I lived with my grandparents. Again, different time as well as a far different class of ho/motels than this one apparently was. Each time, I was left with the remote, permission to use the hotel phone in an emergency, and lots of age-appropriate games, books, etc. Generally, they were downstairs having a meal together but on occasion they'd leave the hotel grounds to go pick up some forgotten supplies, have dinner with friends, etc. Of course, they were Jehovah's Witnesses and the hotels were usually at least 75% booked with fellow JW's when we stayed in them (for assemblies, etc held elsewhere in the state).

They didn't make it as an option? That's really lame.
As for children being left alone in an unlocked hotel room--the only thing I can think of is that you wouldn't want them trapped in there if there were a fire. ???
If they're too young to unlock a door in the event of a fire then they're too young to be left alone in a hotel room, IMO. Honestly, I wouldn't leave a 4 year old alone in my own house.
Although at this point in the case it seems pretty clear that the parents probably killed her. On Friday they found the missing girl's blood inside of a rental car that the parents didn't even have until 25 days after the kid "disappeared". I think that the parents probably killed her, hid the body somewhere, and then went out to dinner to create a believable story. After some of the media attention/police attention died down they rented the car and went to bury the body somewhere. At least that's what makes sense to me.

This has led me to two thoughts...
1. When I get BV I MUST make the seediest "pay by the hour" looking hotel possible for the main 'hood.
2. Someone should make a main 'hood hotel the old fashioned OFB way - beds in rooms and a ticket machine - and see if the customers sleep. If they do, voila! Sim-owned hotels!

Hahaha.. I did that with a bunch of Lizz Loves Autonomus Waterbed thingies whatever their called... worked like a charm and they raked in the cash! Just make sure you have the no playable shoppers hack (snapdragons help too)

It was probably necessary, if the parents killed her. Clearly, the kid was defective in some way and needed to be eliminated.

Personally, if I were going to make a song and dance about a missing kid, I'd make damn sure it was untraceable - ie disposed of body - before I solicited worldwide media attention.
