I was thinking if he came home safely then what use is the signal but I guess it's so that they don't have to check up on him in the morning to know all is well

Or its a way for the kid to maintain some autonomy, but if the mom gets up at 2am to pee, she can see her kid came home. No one gets disturbed. Mom can go back to bed without worry.

Or dad, sorry, not trying to be gendered. Just a reflection of my upbringing I suppose.

My mom did this when we were growing up. She'd leave a light just outside her bedroom on and we'd turn it off when we got in to let her know were in safe.
