I'm not sure what you mean by "the right thing"? The right thing for who?
I would venture that most of the people involved thought what they were doing was going to help. Either by 'civilizing' the kids or even saving their souls.

It's pretty rare to find someone who is doing something bad and actually thinks they're the bad guy. Most people, even some of the worst in history, thought what they were doing was for the betterment of other people or society at large. As the saying goes: the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Which is why the dogmatic are so dangerous.
