I agree on both counts: the parents wouldn't have told their children what the Lonely One was actually doing, and children don't normally understand such horrors.
Look at the way they think wars, shoot-outs in Westerns, or swordfights in films such as The Three Musketeers are exciting. Some people of course go on thinking such things are exciting, but they are perhaps lacking in imagination or in some of life's grimmer experiences.
