Willie had a violent father, but we don't see it on screen. Himself verbally abuses the kid.

Someone is crushed between two cars. You'll know when someone asks for a jump on their car, and the man stands between the two cars. There's a good amount of time to look away or skip over.

Willie aggressively flirts with a young lady. Later, he says "she told me she was 18". We don't actually know how old she is.

The kid is autistic coded, and is bullied and mocked all through the movie, including by the protagonist (who's portrayed as an asshole), who eventually ends up being nicer to him.
