"We" meddle in the lives of non-Natives too, for the same reasons: when things get too bad, the priority is to rescue the children. "Fixing" the parents' lives is a long and difficult process that is rarely successful, meanwhile it is the kids who are the victims, and the priority is to rescue them before it is too late for them too. You need to break the cycle early.

No doubt that often doesn't work out well, either, because it creates its own set of problems. Sometimes there is no good solution.
