A man follows and watches the two main kids who have telekinetic powers, and then pretends to be related to them in order to kidnap them. Hunts for them throughout the second half of the movie when they've escaped his estate.

There is a rather scary scene where the children are chased by barking dogs, but it turns out the dogs are friendly (to the children, anyway).

Not really depicted, though Tia says the bear's feelings are hurt.

At the beginning of the movie, the children's foster parents have just died, but we don't see it and it's passed over very quickly.
Presumably they had parents on their home planet but it's not mentioned. They must have died either in the crash, during the trip, or before. The uncle who arrived with them turns out to have survived.

A man is interested in the kids' telekinetic powers, and pretends to be related to them. He locks them in their room, and sets dogs on them when they escape. He then hunts them until the end of the movie. No physical harm is inflicted on the children.

But the kids use their telekinetic powers to animate a coat and hat to look like they're possessed, which terrifies the cop who imprisoned them. It's meant to be scary to the cop, and funny to the audience, but goes on for a while with loud intense music, and can be a bit overwhelming.

The children have some ability to get adults to do what they tell them to do, but it's not much like possession.

The police are unwittingly working for the bad guys, and they aren't very effective.

Tia begins to have flashbacks of a shipwreck, which Tony does not remember at all, even though he is older. Both her vivid memories and his forgetting the event entirely could seem like symptoms of PTSD, but it's presented as more interesting than upsetting, possibly a result of their psychic powers. They don't really show any other signs of trauma.

A motorcycle falls off a cliff, but no one is riding it and no one is in danger. Later, a car crashes into a pond, but no one is hurt then, either.

A gun is pointed at the bad guys (using telekinesis, so no one is holding it), but it isn't fired.
