though children are not hurt physically by parent figures, they do receive verbal abuse in their household. an older sibling holds down their younger sibling and punches them. the characters who die are minors.

There's a dead body, someone is punched and gets a bloody nose, a man is hit over the head and there's blood, and there's a gun shot wound. That's all I can remember but there might be more.
