I personally don't think any of the humans were killed by Toriel, Papyrus, or Mettaton, because Toriel was too nice, Papyrus didn't see a human until Frisk came, and Mettaton was probably still a ghost. Also, I doubt any of the other fallen children beside Frisk had the power to reset because they probably wouldn't have died and found a way to escape the underground or convince all the monsters that humans were good. And keep in mind, Determination is not something that diminishes, so you can't say that they just gave up because if you give up then you aren't determined at all.
