Two children have physically abusive fathers, mentioned but not shown. Scenes showing emotional neglect of a child. All three of these children break down during the film due to the way they are treated either by their families or the town. One child is assaulted by a teenager.

A leech latches onto a character's genitals, we see him reach into his clothing to pull it out, there is blood and the leech is visible, he faints.

There is mention of a dog that allegedly is trained to bite genitalia, the dog turns out to be fairly harmless and no one is bitten.

No but there is the scene where Teddy's attempting a train-dodge, Chris angrily pulls him off the track & berates him that he's trying to get himself killed.
They get into an arguement later.
It is not brought up after that.

There is however a scene where one of the Cobras is giving another member an arm carving "tattoo" with a small sharp object.
The person who's arm is getting carved is consenting to it.
It can be triggering but it isn't self harm.
