Exactly, I agree and I assume the blond psycho kid you are referring to is Jack !
I think that was part of the moral and message of the story though... it was symbolic to show what would happen in society if there was no rules or authority ...the kids were used as a symbol...since there was no adults around they had nobody there to discipline them so they did whatever they wanted as they thought there would be no consequence for their actions. By the middle of the movie they most likely didn't think they were gonna be found and developed this lifestyle as they thought they could get away with slaughtering each other at that point since there was nobody there to punish them..
At the end of the movie when the kids are found by the Marines they just freeze as they are back in reality again and realize what they have done- they now have authority again, and they know will have to suffer the consequences.
This is generally how many adults would act as well if there were no laws or anyone around to punish them....pretty scary really.
I love this movie, it teaches us exactly why we need to have rules and and boundaries in life.
