Willie aggressively flirts with a young lady. Later, he says "she told me she was 18". We don't actually know how old she is.

Willie had a violent father, but we don't see it on screen. Himself verbally abuses the kid.

One could say that Willie thrusting up against a girl he's flirting with at the arcade is sexual assault. (But other than that there is no mention or visual of explicit assault)

The kid is autistic coded, and is bullied and mocked all through the movie, including by the protagonist (who's portrayed as an asshole), who eventually ends up being nicer to him.
