Well their kids, when the only thing that keeping them sane and hopeful is gone and the reasonable authority figure can't be trusted anymore, madness and hysteria will take over.
This can end badly like Lord of the Flies or it might just end like that other novel with the same premise by the author of Starship Troopers where instead of everyone killing each other, everyone decides to be sane & reasonable & try to make the best of the situation by helping each other.
