So you "ilgilenmek" "with" someone, not "of" someone?
How would you say "She was interested in the children." in a way that she didn't take care of them, but was maybe just interested in how their scholarly achievements progressed over the years.

yes ilgilenmek takes -le/ile. It is the same for the second meaning you mentioned
Why isn't "ile" attached (i.e., "Çocuklarla")? Also, what's up with the "o"? If it means "she," why isn't it at the beginning of the sentence?

As far as I know 'ile' can be used both ways attached to the noun (-le/-la) or can be put after.
Concerning the 'o' it is on the emphasized position which means directly before the verb. So this sentence would be the answer to the question: Who was it taking care of the children?

Why is the definite article necessary? How should I say 'He took care of children'?
I would say "Çocuklara baktı" for that. This sentence means that the subject was concerned about a specific set of children.

I don't think I've ever seen "ilgilenmek" before anywhere. Did I miss it?
