Now that's the tough call, isn't it?
Do you take in a child, knowing it means taking in the parents?
Do you shoot the parent because they're a threat to you, knowing that will leave the child helpless?
Unfortunately in any sort of SHTF situation, the ones who can make the cold and hard decisions will do better. I know there were good and bad in Katrina. People pulling guns on others over a few gallons of gas, while others "stole," military trailers to provide water to those outside the base. People are good and bad, what really defines someone is how they react. Though panic can make an ordinarily good person do some bad things.
"Every person’s life is theirs by right. An individual’s life can and must belong only to himself, not to any society or community, or he is then but a slave. No one can deny another person their right to their life, nor seize by force what is produced by someone else, because that is stealing their means to sustain their life. It is treason against mankind to hold a knife to a man’s throat and dictate how he must live his life."
COFFEE!

Understand, I know of some preppers that include the community and never understood this thinking with the exception of very rural areas.
Hard enough planning, training, equipping, sustaining for a family when done right let alone accounting for others with pedestrian skillset.
