Exposing a child to harmful material is illegal in which of the following ways?

• A. It is illegal to sell, rent, exhibit, or otherwise make available such harmful material to a child under 18.
• B. It is illegal to expose a child to harmful material only if the child is under 12.
• C. It is allowed if the material is educational.
• D. It is illegal to discuss harmful material with a child.

Answer: (A)

Making harmful material unavailable to minors is the key idea here. Wisconsin law protects children by prohibiting selling, renting, exhibiting, or otherwise making such material available to someone under 18. This broad bar covers all common ways material could reach a child, whether in a store, a library, online, or through lending, and it doesn’t hinge on special justifications like education. The restriction on distribution to minors is what matters, not merely discussing the material with a child, and not a narrower rule based on a different age threshold or an educational loophole. So the strongest, most accurate statement is that it is illegal to sell, rent, exhibit, or otherwise make available such material to a child under 18.
