By a child free-loading in the parent's house, the child is forcing the parents to work. Kicking someone out of the house and into nature is the default position, where we're all alone and nobody affects anyone else. When the person gets tired of sitting in the dirt and in the cold, then they will have to work to improve their situation.
Justice is giving every man what is his due. You can't take from one person to give to another without causing an injustice to the person you're taking something from. Society therefore has an expectation that we all provide for our own minimal care. If someone can't provide for themselves, then they have to rely on charity. Forcing people to do anything else would be an injustice.
