It's not uncommon for people to get overwhelmed at concerts, even when not in a physical space like the pit. Concerts are loud, crowded, and hot.

People with any number of disorders from anxiety to ASD could get overwhelmed. Having an out of the way safe space they can retreat to if that happens means more people can enjoy the concert.

Him having this may mean people who would normally never go to a concert may go to his.

A very VERY brief trip through Spotify seems like his music is on the emo/pop My Chemical Romance spectrum.

I’d imagine with folks indulging in a variety of mind altering substances, having a safe space to work through a bad experience is a lot better option than being escorted out by security or taking a ride in an ambulance.

It completely depends on the situation. Little kids can be real escape artists. It can happen with responsible parents or neglectful ones.

My cousin, as a 2-year-old, loved letting himself out of the house. My aunt and uncle had a heck of a time keeping the front door secure from him (rental house so limited in what they could install). Sometimes they were sleeping, but sometimes it could be simply doing something in another room. They're great parents and were doing their best, but it's not realistic to have the kid glued to their sides 24/7. My aunt's horror story was finding him walking up from down the street, having let himself out while she was cooking dinner. It really only resolved when he grew out of the behavior.

The article says they think he got out of the house while his parents were sleeping after last being seen Thursday morning. It could be that the whole house was sleeping and he woke up and let himself out of the house. From the article, it doesn't sound like there's any charges against the parents for doing anything that put him at risk.
