Wouldn't you characterize parents who refuse to feed their child as actively hurting the child?
It seems cleaner to characterize that as "not helping." Preventing anyone else from feeding their child seems like hurting.
As a general comment, libertarian policies work better for adults than they do for children, because they assume a level of individual responsibility that seems unreasonable to expect of, say, infants. It's not clear to me how fatal a flaw that is for it as a policy-generating mechanism.
