I thought about that momentarily, especially in the scene where the kid has dinner with his girlfriend and the family (after he's had a very explicit sex scene with the mother), and the girlfriend has a 6 year old sister sitting next to her.
The best rationale I could come up with was that Larry Clark and co probably did what Stanley Kubrick and co did with Danny in The Shining; they didn't tell him what the movie was really about, and it wasn't until years after, when he was a grown teen, that he learned of the true nature, and that The Shining was a horror film.
If you think about it, the kid was just sitting at a table and eating dinner with a pretend family. I'm more curious as to how they got the elderly couple to be in this movie.
