In a manner of speaking. Danielle, the clone of Danny that Vlad created, calls him her father--after she fails to be the perfect clone he sought to create, she's left to fend for herself.

Ehhh. As noted above, this is a tricky one. Maddie and Jack legitimately love their children, but a major plot point of this series is that Danny is terrified of his parents knowing he's a half-ghost, and for good reason.

Not explicitly, but the protagonist, a teenager, has to hide a major facet of his identity from his parents, and his parents often talk of dissecting and shooting the protagonist's alter ego, unaware they're discussing their son. Said protagonist, due to the nature of the series, also gets into several violent battles and is thrown around, kicked, punched, etc etc.

Dash is a recurring bully character and does things like shoving people into lockers and dumping food on them. Paulina is a mean girl style bully and uses more verbal tactics to hurt people.

Mentioned but not shown, Sydney Poindexter's backstory mentions he died after some bullies went too far.

In "The Ultimate Enemy," the bad future is set off when Danny's parents, sister, best friends, and teacher die in an explosion.

The same special heavily implies Danny's ghost half violently killed his terrified human half after they were seperated.

Two completely non-sexualized ones in the episode "Eye For An Eye". Vlad takes a shower and Danny turns the wall invisible to embarrass him. Later, Danny takes a shower in the boy's locker room at school, only for Vlad to turn the wall invisible in revenge for the previous prank.

One episode revolves around ghosts who pose as medical professionals. It's clear they have malicious intent, and they take over a hospital.

Not explicitly STATED to be mentally ill, but Vlad (a villain) clearly has some issues, and Poindexter (another lesser villain) is all BUT stated to have PTSD.

"The Fenton Menace" sees Danny slowly breaking down as his family can't see an invisible enemy pursuing them--he becomes more jittery and fearful as the episode continues into the second half.

No, but some homophobic jokes are made; at one point, a female character threatens to blackmail two boys with a photo of them cuddling (platonically). A bully character calls the protagonist a twink and implies he's effeminate in a clearly distasteful fashion.

Several jokes are made about a character's perceived intelligence, and mental illness is also often joked about. Expect to hear "crazy"/"crazed" a lot. The creator has also said many controversial things about depression and other mental illnesses.

Why is everyone voting "no." Have you seen Skulker. He's constantly shooting at people. Gun violence is his THING. Just because it's sci-fi looking laser guns doesn't make it any less gun violence!
