Probably for the best to do so and keep supporting him as I did in the first place. I do not know about his reasons, but family & friends were freaking out he did something like that and I was beggining to worry he might be manipulated since we have no control about what is going on and he is so far away.

I will keep supporting him, reassuring the parents and wait until he comes back next month to see what's what. Thanks for all your opinions & answers, it makes me think it's probably not such a big deal
