No child is abandoned by any type of guardian. But it's mentioned that a character's parents don't care about their teenager child.
It is also mentioned that one character doesn't have a functioning family like another character, but it's not explained how this is meant.

There is no child abuse in this movie!
There are scenes where it is mentioned that the parents of a character don't care about them and a character saying that they don't have a family like another character (it is left unclear what exactly is meant by that).

There is no domestic violence mentioned or shown.
However, there is a scene towards the end of the movie where a main character and his wife have an argument. They yell at each other and he grabs her arm (not forcefully, he just wants her to listen). There is NO physical violence during this argument.
During another scene, a character slaps his girlfriend. She is bleeding and obviously emotionally hurt. The character feels extremely guilty about his actions and this was in no way meant to happen. (I'm voting No, in my opinion there is no domestic violence. But there are tense scenes, as described here. So be aware if that is a problem for you.)

There are scenes where characters trade Marijuana and smoke cigarettes. Several younger children (around 11/12 years old) are seen smoking cigarettes as well.
There are also scenes where characters drink a lot of alcohol and are visibly drunk.

There is a scene during the game in the swimming pool where two guys fight underwater. Not sure if that counts but they are underwater for a while.

No one falls to their death.
There is a scene where a character climbs a building and it is stated that this is dangerous (he could fall and would die) but he is completely fine.

There are several characters kissing each other and being romantic in other ways. Most of these characters are teenagers, but likely still minors. But all of these romantic interactions only happen with consent.

A big part of the movie has some form of flashing lights. There are also several scenes where the camera images change very quickly. This comes with some flashing lights as well.

There is no antisemitism.
The whole movie is about a social experiment that shows how easy it is to start an autocratic group. Many members of said group, The Wave, start to discriminate people outside of The Wave. But there is no discrimination against Jewish people.
