One adult character carries out the orders of the main antagonist because he feels he has no other choice.
And one child character ends up turning on the other children after going through the abuse of the playground and being encouraged to act violently by his emotionally abusive father.

While the actual pooping is not discussed, there is a scene involving poop (consumption and self stimulation) It is meant more to flesh out the depravity of a character and can be skipped (p. 46)

It isn't certain when the series takes place, but a close guess is the mid-to-late 90s to maybe the year 2000.

Parents and children watched before being invited to the Playground. Children being watched while in the Playground, aren't necessarily aware of this until they hear people talk to them over speaker systems.

Antagonist is portrayed as queer and eventually dies.
One child, who is frequently called the f-slur but whose sexual orientation is not known, also dies.
