Horrible story. This part is strange to me. The mom is at home and heard someone calling her 12 year old’s name from the door at 3 am and she just lets him go to answer it? Maybe I’m just misunderstanding it. Is that strange to anyone else?

Nothing in there suggests that she LET him go answer the door. It's more likely he did it on his own accord or even they both heard the call and he got there before she did.
