I think that even though it's in the presence of her home, what Esther does is essentially stalk people/watch and follow them without them being fully aware.

It is revealed that Esther is a little person pretending to be a child, to seduce the fathers of families that adopt her. It is very bad representation of little people, with the intent to make them scary.

There's an uncomfortable scene towards the end. It's not technically incestuous and nothing actually happens except a failed attempt at seduction but it is uncomfortable to watch. The character who is making their move is also seemingly a minor.

3 car incidents:
Esther pushes Max onto the road in front of sister Abigail's oncoming car, causing her to swerve violently (just avoiding Max) & skid to a stop. She manages not to hit anything or roll the car though.
When Kate is dropping Daniel to school she momentarily steps out leaving Max on the back-seat, only for Esther to sneak in & release the parking brake (& shift the gear stick to neutral), causing the car to start rolling backwards down the hill. After a couple of near misses (cars swerving out of the way) the car fortunately slams into a snow bank bringing it to a stop without injury.
When Kate is racing home from the hospital during a snow storm, desperately attempting to reach John, she narrowly avoids crashing a number of times until she finally crashes intentionally through the front of the house.
