Why, I just pointed out that something that happened back then, and still happens
>He clearly was at a festival, his outfit is whimsically colored and he's carrying a festive toy.
The outfit isn't that festival-ish (although its lenght might imply that it is one), and the toy is also not that unique of festivals. If we take that Rumia isn't a pretty active predator, rather waits around for opportunities, and that she operates far from the village, looking for outsiders, then the poor kid was left to his luck.
That aside, reading your theory made me think that maybe the unfortunate parents leaded the poor child to a supposed festival in the middle of the woods, and the rest is history
