We are led to believe that the main character was abandoned by his foster parents, but SPOILER they were in fact taken by the monster.

Not squashed but a character puts her hand through another character's head in a nightmare sequence. It's not too graphic but it's a jump scare. Close your eyes at 01.19 and open them again when the creepy music stops if this kind of thing triggers you.

Yes, an important part of the plot is that (SPOILER) the main family's son passed away and they blame themselves, and decide to foster a young boy to help the grief.

(SPOILERS) I don't know why two people marked "no" on this but that's definitely and completely incorrect. The plot of the movie is that the child's grief manifested as "The Canker Man" which was a misunderstanding of his mother having cancer, and how he perceived her due to the affects of chemotherapy.

Absolutely yes, a kid is constantly self-harming to stay awake. No use of sharp objects, though.

Although there isn’t gun violence/gore there is gun imagery. *SPOILER* a gun is pointed towards a child when a man contemplates shooting him. He doesn’t end up doing it.
