Aside from the physical abuse, Thomasin mostly, but all of the children are mentally abused by their religious parents. They constantly have to repeat that they are worthless sinners and belong in hell. Grade A Parenting.

There is a scene where 3 children are boarded into the goats' pen by their father, but they're not panicking because it is a small space. There is plenty of room for all the children to sit around alongside the animals, they're only upset that their father is keeping them holed up because he believes one or all of them are evil.

In the strictest reading of "homeless". A family is exiled from a pilgrim community, leaving them to fend for themselves. There is a 6-10 month time jump, so we don't see the worst of their hardship.

(SPOILER) I believe it’s open to interpretation. In my opinion the amount of mental abuse and hatred Thomasin had to endure from her entire family, completely justifies her finding happiness in ‘Living Deiciously’ at the end. She also never truly harmed anyone, other than her mother who was LITERALLY trying to kill her for something she didn’t do.

The aftermath of a baby being ground up into a bloody mess is shown, but the act of it is not. A boy has bloody cuts on his body and mouth, and has his blood let into a bowl from a cut in his head. A woman bleeds from an unseen wound in her breast after having it pecked at by a crow. A man is skewered by a goat's horns twice and coughs up blood as well as having bloody wounds. Several goats are seen on the ground disemboweled.
