Is it neglect or abuse of children in illinois if you threaten someone in the presence of minors?

Question

if you never hit anyone or had any charge how could that be abuse or neglect?

Answer 1

Are you saying, you or whoever threatened someone while there were children present? Was the threatened person a child or an adult? So if it was, and kids just happened to be present, I don't think that's abuse or child neglect! As long as you don't touch them, it's neither!
