It absolutely does. This is why various child welfare social services exist in various countries, precisely so that someone can interfere to maximize the length and quality of someone else's child's life.

They’re there to protect children from neglect or danger. Secondly they’re not acting as mere individuals but as agents of the government which gives them that authority.

What do you think is the result of protection from neglect and danger? It's like you're saying, doctors aren't there to extend lifespan either, just to protect from danger.
