[QUOTE="wishididnthavetobehere, post: 610177, member: 17084"] My daughter, now 15, started going through windows at 14. I have a security system throughout the house and even that is not tamper proof. (so even if money weren't a factor....) There was an old fashioned roll out window that wasn't part of the system, only opened about 7" and she was able to get through. That window is now nailed shut. The other window in her room doesn't have a lower level roof as an in between jump off point, I don't think she would jump straight down without an intermediary roof. She was jumping from the middle roof. I think the air condition unit was a stepping stone. She also dismantled the very small cat door but couldn't get through. She has used magnets to offset the alarm.....but that set if off when she came back in once. I have duct taped the screens from the outside, nailed her room windows, checked all windows for magnets right before I go to sleep, slept on the floor outside of her bedroom. As far as I know she hasn't been out in a few months. I won't take credit for that though, thinking it's just because the boy is off to college now. I am sorry you have to deal with this too. It's scary for them to be out and about at night. [/QUOTE]
