Yes, not because there was actual abuse. But 1 mother blamed the other for things that happened, but forgave her near the end.

The main plot involves a ghost who stalks, kidnaps, and murders children. We see the ghost stalk two sets of children - including watching them from afar, chasing them, and following them to different locations.

The opening exposition scene involves a parent murdering their children by holding them underwater until the children drown. One of the children begs the parent to stop while running away. The actual violence happens off screen, but we hear about it in dialogue throughoutthe movie. -- The main character is a social worker. The plot is put in motion when they investigate a truancy claim against a parent with a history of alcoholism. They find the children locked in a closet, with burns on their arms. The social worker believes it to be abuse, but we later know it was the ghost that hurt them.

Not really, but it is suspected. The main character is a case worker and she believes she is seeing the impact of child abuse when it is actually la llorona.

In the opening exposition scene, we see a child just as they die from being drowned. It is mostly off screen, and in an artistically distant POV shot. Another is chased, and we later learn they were drowned as well. Two more children are pulled out of the river, having drowned. This is also towards the beginning. Both drownings are mentioned throughout the film.

A lot of the jumpscares involve the ghost's face suddenly appearing or the ghost moving incredibly fast, accompanied by traditional loud sounds and sudden distorted violins in the soundtrack.

The main character is the widow of a beat cop who died on duty and many of the characters talk about what great guy/officer/dad he was in life. His former colleagues “watch over” his family now he’s gone. It’s pretty minor but thought it was worth mentioning for the folks that don’t want to see the hero cop trope at all.

I mean, it’s arguable. (Spoilers) A character driven by grief, who is not in her right mind, attacks the main character’s children and shoots a priest. She tries to help the ghost take the kids, thinking she could exchange the main character’s children for her own drowned sons.

A police officer treats a situation with what appears to be a mentally unwell character as dangerous, but is chastised for it. Another tells a character that they need to "fix whatever is going on here" when they suspect a character is being emotionally affected by a murder case. The movie itself treats the character's who are grieving or dealing with depression respectfully, and the main lead especially argues for empathy.

The first characters to die on screen are two Mexican children. The only characters to die at all during the course of the film are of Spanish or Latinx descent. The main lead and two supporting characters are white, and one supporting character is black. The only surviving children are mixed race. So it stands out the only ones to die are not.

A character brings a gun to confront someone in vengeance. They wind up shooting someone, though not fatally. It happens towards the end of the film.
