In the inner city, you see evidence of this daily in nearly ever major city as countless boys grow up without fathers.. In Africa you see it in elephant herd left without elders See Here.. This is the nature of things when parents do not parent.
I still subscribe to the blank slate theory. The problem is that the world is so full of insanity and evil that they corrupt very quickly without proper guidance.
