It is implied that the father abandoned his daughters in the woods rather than being killed by ghosts so if the suggestion would still be triggering I’d take that into consideration

In one scene, a character attempts to secretly take pictures of a family in an attempt to collect evidence of child abuse. No prolonged stalking.

The opening scene suggests the father kills his wife before running away with the children, and he plans to kill then before he is killed by Mama.

In the opening scene, two children are kidnapped and almost killed in a murder-suicide by their father, but they survive. The film has strong themes of child abandonment and trauma throughout (the premise is that a couple adopts the two children after they are abandoned in a cabin for five years). One character suspects another character of child abuse, but is incorrect.

It's also in classic horror movie fashion referred to as an asylum. There should also be a "violent mentally ill person" tag, because here we go again.
