DIRECTOR'S CUT: A child volunteers as sacrifice during a night time riverside ritual. Adults attach chains to the child's feet and give them a large rock to hold. Two adults then start to swing the child, as if building momentum to throw them into the water. A character screams for them to stop and they do. The child is shown returning to their mother, both seeming unconcerned.

**With as few spoilers as possible**
No child abuse per se, but there are scenes of a young person being hurt and children in distress as well as implied child death.
A mischievous kid intentionally startles one character, who then hits said kid in retaliation. But they stop as soon as they see their assailant is just a child. The kid was fine and ran off.
A teenaged character is brutally maimed by a feral animal. You see the scars they sustained from this attack later on and they are rather intense. Another child watches this attack in terror but otherwise goes physically unharmed.
A crowd of people of all ages, including children, are killed at one point. You can hear them collectively suffer before they die. The death is not explicitly shown but heavily implied in a disturbing manner.

A child is subjected to shock and psychological hangups from the events surrounding him, but at no point does someone actively attempt to harm the child.

It’s never shown on screen but there is a reference to Boyle’s adopted son having been “sold” in the past that is never expounded on.

The child and their new guardian occasionally argue, but the adult tries to keep it as brief, peaceful, and easy on the child as possible.

You can't have child abuse in a movie if there are no children in the movie.

there is no on-screen child abuse, however there is an ongoing subplot about one of the couches having sex with underage students. additionally reginas younger sister is showing on screen being sexually explicit, this is played for laughs in a way that can be considered disturbing to some viewers.

No children are shown to be abused, unless Rose is counted to be abused by her mother and fiancé as she is just a teenager at that time.

Monica’s mother is really awful at many points. She is very critical of Monica’s weight, considers her to be a failure and strongly prefers Ross. It could be upsetting for anyone with an emotionally abusive parent.
