There is no physical abuse of a child in this movie. Telling a disrespectful, unruly teenager to clean their room is not abuse. The boy not liking his foster parents is not abuse. There's no mention of any abuse on their part, nor is any seen. The boy calling them "dicks" doesn't confirm they are abusive. It just confirms he's a resentful teenager.
At most you could argue there's emotional neglect on the part of the adoptive parents and biological mother. That's it.

To the comment about the T-1000 shapshifting:
Body dysmorphia disorder (BDD) is a body-image disorder characterized by persistent and intrusive preoccupations with an imagined or slight defect in one's appearance.
This means that the afflicted person cannot stop thinking negatively about their appearance, or aspects of it.
It has nothing to do with shapeshifting appearances.

Considering obscure possibilities is not the purpose of these trigger warnings. It's about what's actually shown or directly implied in the movie.

Not super gory, however, people do get shot, and punched. There is a scene where the main character, (a cyborg-robot being) has a little portion of his head open, with a bit of blood but all of the insides are robotic. There's another scene where he is cuts around his arm on the skin and tears it off, revealing a robotic arm.
