No, it tells us we have no responsibilities that we don't willingly choose for ourselves. My neighbors have every right to stop him if he is endangering their children. They also have the right to appoint agents to help them. If my neighbors ask me to help and I agree, I can choose to stop this man, but at no point am I under an obligation to do so, unless I enter into some sort of contract with the neighbor for instance if they hire me to stop him.
The NAP does not say we don't have obligations and responsibilities, just that those can't be forced upon us.
