I dont' think this is a supervision issue - esp if you have told him before that he is not to go in the bathroom while others are in there, you should be able to trust a child to follow the rules in the short times your back is turned. If you cannot, it's an issue.

After enforcing shadowing with DBC all day, I'd say this to DCM, while DCB stands with us:
"Mom/Dad, I'm sorry to say that DCB snuck into the bathroom while another student was using it this afternoon. This happened once before, and we discussed it at length, so I thought that DCB understood that this is inappropriate and not to happen again. Unfortunately, I guess DCB will have to be in my sight at all times while he is here now, and that means he will probably miss some of the fun things that we do, since he will have to be with me in the kitchen while the kids read books, etc. I hope that you will continue this discussion of what is appropriate with DCB at home."

I'd also yank the lock off the bathroom door, and talk to DCG as well.
