2-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.

3-The possibility that he could have been attacked or in danger while heading to initiation are there..... 1-Any sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice.

2-While this is all assumptions...: His parents, at least his dad, could've gone to an academy that wasn't Beacon (or maybe never even went to one), one with a different "entrance test", one that was less practical and more theorical. So they assumed Beacon was the same and didn't worry as much.

It's also possible the Initiation is kept secret from the public and only shown when it's about to begin. Like the Grey Wardens's Joining.

3-He was on a ship. Most likely his family accompanied him to the airport. And the ship was flying above Vale, so unless Flying Grimm swooping down and attacking transport ships within Vale is a common occurrence, there's nothing to worry about. And we know that isn't a common occurrence since then Ozpin would've been without a job much sooner.

4-About why do the Hunters not just unlock everyone's Auras: Safety. Sure, it would help anyone, but you're also giving everyone more power and hoping they don't use it for selfish means. A normal criminal is bad enough, a criminal with Aura is bad enough, what if all of them had Aura thanks to some Aura-Unlocking program set by the government?

Sure, the same could be done with the security forces, but, we've already seen a bit of how potentially-destructive a fight between Aura users can get in the first episode. Having a dozen Aura users duke it out on the streets could cause more damage than having a dozen muggles duke it out on the streets.

Not to mention that many use Atlesian robots for defense. Their only weakness compared to normal humans is the lack of Aura whatsoever, but they still work when fighting normal people. So, what if everyone had Aura then? The AKs would stand no chance against most criminals unless they had high numbers, which means Atlas would have to increase their AK production with all the costs that brings until they manage to mass produce pennies.

With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility. But not everyone follows that rule. Hunters do, however, which is why they are the ones willingly trusted with the power and potential Aura gives.
