There is a drawn-out, graphic, and brutal death of a dog. Could be considered animal torture, very upsetting.

Not a spoiler but a major theme: this book (and film) is about how adults turned a blind eye to the suffering of children in the town. This level of negligence can be considered abuse. There is also abuse of Beverly in the 2017 film.

I can´t recall anyone being raped...
The closest to rape is Bev briefly mentioning one of her bf who almost raped her but there is no more info to it.
Tom is a total creep and relationship including sex with him is very unhealthy but no rape.
Patrick touches Henry inappropriately without the last one totally understanding what is going on.
But no rape as in a person violently forces the other person into a sexual act.

Not pedophilia per say but a leper monster suggest a b*****b to Eddie.
And you can see one teenage boy touching the d**k of the other without the latter fulling understanding what is going on I believe.

Obviously you can’t see it so if you are sensitive to the subject then skip over (even though it’s not graphic) the first couple of lines when Richie’s part starts on page 60 and also it may be done somewhere else in the book but the book is 1153 pages long and I’m not currently re-reading it so.... not that I remember. If there is, then it shouldn’t be too graphic because I would have probably been triggered by it. Uhhh yeah... Safe readings 😄

The gay characters are misrepresented which is particularly homophobic since they get gay bashed and one of them is murdered. Given the time the book was written, they aren't horrifically misrepresented, but it's for sure a triggering read today.
