It is ambiguous if old Joseph really knew all the details of his father's actions or if he was abused/gaslight as well upon becoming Joseph.

An abused child cannot become an abuser. He's a child. and a ghost. The "acting out" is a haunting.

When you find out what happened to the ghost child, you see a scene in which a father holds down his young disabled son's legs, successfully drawing him. It is sudden and upsetting, and the imagery and sounds repeat throughout the remainder of the movie

For details/context for each jumpscare scene, visit WheresTheJump.
The jumpscares are pretty tame, so unless you're ultra-sensitive to scares, you should be fine. This film is more eerie and chilling than out-right frightening.
