It's true that Toriel needs to scold Asgore, but she went about it the wrong way. Heck, she didn't even scold Asgore until the end of the game. When Asgore first declared war against the humans, all Toriel did was run away, and while that's understandable, it was also contradictory.

She said she didn't want Asgore to take another human's life, but she didn't do anything to prevent that other than a feeble attempt to keep the human children who fell inside the ruins to keep them safe. But when they end up leaving anyway, she didn't do anything beyond that.

I like Toriel, but she's just as guilty for those children's deaths as Asgore was. She could've prevented their deaths from happening, but didn't do so because she didn't want face Asgore. For someone who wanted to protect the humans, she didn't much protecting until Frisk showed up.
