Whether or not a crime actually happened depends on entirely on the circumstances of how Kanashi aquired a human soul. And while theft might be the simplest explaintion, we cannot immediately assume this is the case.

Again, if Kanashi was going around devouring humans, the human would have something to fear. But the waterfall glyphs say that the humans had Nothing to fear. That whatever happened between a human and Kanashi, it was a one-time thing that other humans shouldn't be worried about.

Also, while the lore says that the monster never recovered a single human soul... it says nothing about how many monster souls were collected. If there were other Boss Monsters before Asgore and Toriel, which Gerson's knowledge of their kind suggests, then the humans could have acquired THEIR souls at some point, leaving some humans with hybrid monster ancestry.

Perhaps Kanashi was actually a human child, that was born mutated due to an excessively large amount of monster energy within them? And people looked at them, and just assumed they were a monster?

There are a lot of possiblities here, and very little firm evidence that stretches back this far in time. So we can't truly expect to reach a conclusion about Kanashi here.

But I'm trying to show you that other possiblities exist, other than Kanashi being the monster version of Hitler.

Declaring that other possiblities are IMPOSSIBLE, here and now, is irresponsible.
