Basically the entire novel contains child abuse and/or reference to past child abuse.

Violence between a mother and her adoptive son

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.

In multiple scenes, most from panic attacks but towards the end there's a choking scene as well as a scene where someone forces their entire fist down someone's throat

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)

Not really, but the queer, cis antagonist's clit is referred to as a "micro penis" which feels a bit transphobic.

Mental illness is implied rather than stated, with the exception of the colloquial use of terms like "psychopath" and "narcissist".

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.

No, but a character's backstory involves infertility/decrease in fertility potentially due to age

Technically, yes. A character is talked about having performed experiments on unborn children, but it is not described graphically. There are no other babies/unborn children

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.
