"Someone has been sleeping in my bed, too" said the Mama bear.

I read this in the "The Story of Goldilock and the Three Bears".
The Golidlock is not in the bedroom anymore, why is the verb is in present continuous tense?
 
It is not the present continuous tense. The present continuous tense here would be "Someone is sleeping ...".

And it's not "Goldilock" it's "Goldilocks".

I said 'present perfect continuous'.
 
But the OP didn't. probus was correcting the OP, not you.
