Is to take legal action against children (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

issue

'children' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'is to take legal action against' is the wordplay.
'to take legal action against' becomes 'sue' (I've seen this before).
'is'+'sue'='ISSUE'

(Other definitions for issue that I've seen before include "Publish; children" , "Topic; give out" , "Emanate" , "Give out; children" , "Edition of a publication" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
