    The father goblin is only "saving the children" by violating the property rights (and right to life) of others.

    "saving innocents" doesn't make theft and murder cease to be immoral.

    "redistributing grain" might (if the grain is in fact owned by the people it's being "redistributed" from) become just a glorified version of this - "theft, to feed the needy".
