But the we come back to the idiot problem again. If his parents were overprotective, BUT not overprotective enough to keep him under lock and key, don’t you think they would have at LEAST unlocked his aura prior to initiation in order for him to not get killed by any wayward grimm that decides to swing at him?

Even if you want to believe initiation took place in a completely controlled environment and his parent knew that, they could not know that he would stay safe up until that point. The possibility that he could have been attacked or in danger while heading to initiation are there, more so than in the initiation itself in this case, so the only reason they would believe he was completely safe on his trip there is if they were idiotically optimistic, yet overprotective enough to not even mention aura to him so wouldn’t get his hopes up. Does that sound more reasonable than them not caring enough to train someone that wasn’t good enough in their eyes but not have the heart to tell him to give up his dreams?
