I appreciate that you shared another perspective. Another thought I had was the parents were probably waiting for him to reach a certain age before he gets tortured as Lucie gave a few seconds before shooting him, unlike the case with his sister in which Lucie shot her with no hesitations.

Lucie was tortured in a seemingly abandoned building, which somehow seems weird that the parents would place a torture room in their home

I don't remember whether they said only women are tortured or mostly women are tortured because they are more likely to become martyrs.

The torture chamber was hidden in an abandoned building, but was still discovered. Years later, the cult is refining its methods. Where better to hide a torture chamber than under a quiet suburban home?

In that respect, the family's kids are just part of the deception. I'd guess they didn't even know about the cult or their parents' membership.
