Questions: Illinois considers it child abuse if one does all of the following except: 1) Inflicting physical injury which causes death, disfigurement, impairment of physical or emotional health. 2) Causing or allowing such injury to be inflicted (as opposed to direct infliction of the injury). 3). Committing any sex offense against a child, or allowing such an offense to be committed. 4) Committing or allowing torture. 5) Not providing proper or necessary nourishment.

The answer is 5) Not providing proper or necessary nourishment.

Explanation for each option:

1. Inflicting physical injury which causes death, disfigurement, impairment of physical or emotional health: This is considered child abuse in Illinois as it involves direct harm to the child's well-being.

2. Causing or allowing such injury to be inflicted (as opposed to direct infliction of the injury): This is also considered child abuse because it involves negligence or complicity in harm being done to a child.

3. Committing any sex offense against a child, or allowing such an offense to be committed: This is a serious form of child abuse, as it involves sexual harm or exploitation of a child.

4. Committing or allowing torture: Torture is a severe form of abuse and is recognized as such under Illinois law.

5. Not providing proper or necessary nourishment: While neglect, including failure to provide necessary nourishment, is a form of child abuse, the question asks for the exception. The other options involve more direct or severe forms of abuse, which are more explicitly recognized as child abuse under Illinois law. However, it is important to note that neglect, including lack of nourishment, is still a serious issue and can be considered a form of child abuse in broader contexts.
