The main antagonist tries and fails to convince people that Cry-baby is dangerous - not really gaslighting though.

The judge takes Pepper’s kids away from her and puts them in an orphanage, claiming she is an unfit parent. She gets them back towards the end, freeing the other children from the orphanage in the process.

Two rats are lifted by their tails and thrown (onto a floor of soft shredded paper). A rat gets revenge by leading the character who threw it into the clutches of the villain, and then laughs about it (yes, really).

Grandma was shooting at a varmit" in her front yard, but didn't hit it. Rats in the sewer pipes and a cow in a field appear in the film, and are unharmed.

In the first minute of the movie, men standing behind a woman touch her butt without her consent. i think its meant to be “comedic” given her reaction but still uncomfortable

Allison is shown to be conflicted about whether she wants to be with Cry-baby or Baldwin. She is with Baldwin at the beginning and then later goes off with Cry-baby. Whether she technically cheats on Baldwin is debatable.

It's referenced in the movie that Cry Baby's father was killed in the electric chair. He also has a commemorative tattoo on his chest.

A teenage character is pregnant for the majority of the movie. She gives birth at the end and is mostly played off for laughs.

Very brief and not graphic. Naked baby is shown and is very obviously not a newborn and is really quite large.

The climax of the movie involves a game where the main protagonist and antagonist are lying on the roof of cars that are driving towards each other at high speeds. No one is hurt.
