Way out children (5)

I believe the answer is:

issue

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'way out' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'children' is the second definition.
(issue can mean someone's offspring)

(Other definitions for issue that I've seen before include "Distribute for sale/use" , "Publish, bring out" , "Hot topic; outcome" , "Publish - put into circulation" , "one's children?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
