Yeah, that guy thought his son was possessed by demons.

Question here is, if you were the two year old, what would you want? The golden rule would necessitate ending the attack.

If someone specifically requests to be left in the dark, and no harm is being done, I don't see a reason to deny them that. It's being respectful to their request.
