You know... children that grow in violent families usually end up becoming the opposite of their parents, because they have tasted the pain and will want a normal happy life. Children that have become crime lords, mass murderers, dictators have their roots in normal, caring families.
But with puberty it's pure hormones and without society and control around those kids, it's gonna get ugly. Of course, aliens will whisper in their heads, i guess that would do it; but that will turn them into obedient pets, not humans. Humanity as we know it and as it has evolved and developed naturally is long lost with the destruction of Earth. Now they will be caged animals, like those castrated wild ones you find in zoo - totally deprived of their pure and prime natural beauty and substance.
As much as ugly we may seem and the horrible things we do, the way we embrace our demons or fight them, it's all part of the definition of being human, it has always been and will be. Everything else is a different species.
You're adopted!
