Then I get them involved as if I would really do this and ask them to help me come up with a plan as to where to send the other one and let them go into great detail.

If he asked her whereabouts, he cares. And that's as good as it gets for 5. The psychology of it all can wait a few years. You did the right thing. If he asked her whereabouts, he cares.

He's five. At five they want to be the center of the universe. Scaring the shit out of him? Not so much. Don't sweat the small stuff. Wait until he's 19 and steals your credit card to buy his dorm floor pizzas. Then torturing is appropriate. You handled it fine. He’s five. At five they want to be the center of the universe.
