“Maybe this 11yo boy was always a sweet, shy boy, too. “

I’m thinking perhaps the boy has seen True Life episodes and realizes that since he’s seen the guys face the guy just may come back to the closet and kill him.
Eleven year olds can get mighty protective of their lives.
For good or bad, this eleven year old has learned a valuable lesson: His will to live is strong.
I was wondering, too, what the perp's plans were, after this boy had seen his face. A woman knocked on the door first, probably to find out if someone was home. So then, the perp must've broken in, knowing the boy was alone in the house (?). He didn't count on this boy, though. lol
