Eichi, Hokuto, Kanata, Hiiro & Rinne, Nagisa, Hinata & Yuta, Rei & Ritsu, Kaoru, Izumi, Arashi, Tsumugi, and Madara all have explicitly bad parents. Some others are murky, but can certainly still be considered for this category (Tori, Souma, etc). Ibara and Kaname are heavily implied to have been abused at their orphanages.

Kind of?? Shu was previously abusive towards Nazuna and Mika, but they have since collectively moved past and resolved this. Nagisa is implied to be a human trafficking victim, and he frequently talks highly of his late "adoptive father" who isolated him for a majority of his childhood, among other vague and dubious things.

Due to the nature of Enstars having most of its characters abused in some way, this happens frequently whenever a character acts in an antagonistic role. It's not meant to specifically single out the abused as abusers, however, there is social commentary at play.

It's talked about how the Aoi twins' father is very abusive towards them. Arashi's family was trash, so is Eichi's, Mikejima got disowned and Kanata's parents convinced him he was a god therefore he wasn't treated like a person. There's much more than just those six characters though.

No. There is a few allegations about a character (Mayoi Ayase) being pedophilic, but if you dig deeper into his character it's shown that he has intrusive thoughts about more cutesy things, like his unit mate Aira and his friend Shinobu. In reality he wants to take care of them in a motherly way. But due to some things, those thoughts will turn twisted and he'll blurt them out. He's said it himself that he hates those thoughts too.

While more explicit references are limited to the Meteor Impact event story, Kanata Shinkai was raised in a cult which would follow cannibalistic traditions in times of disaster. These traditions are explicitly described within the event story, and directly affect Kanata's life at that point of the story, as well as his morals and self-perception during the whole series.
There are also light-hearted gags about cannibalism including Niki Shiina when he is particularly hungry.
One particular scene that references Niki Shiina's father's past during the !! Main Story may be seen as having cannibalistic implications, but it's currently just fan speculation.

In "Checkmate", a character breaks their arm. Another character gives a pretty graphic description of the event in the chapter titled "A Solitary Throne - 7". There's also a more minor example with Tatsumi having broken his leg in the past.

In one story in !

This seems to be a misinterpretation of the condition on the writer's behalf.

Tsumugi once asked Mika if he was anorexic due to Mika’s poor eating habits. Tsukasa has an issue with over eating that he’s often ridiculed for. In the !! Era, part of HiMERU’s idol story involved Adonis and Souma concerned about HiMERU's weight and eating habits. Though less relevant to his character than the rest, Aira Shiratori is shown to constantly obsess over how much he's eating and how much he weighs.

In the main story in the second chapter I believe, Mayoi watches Aira from the side of his bed. Mayoi has also spied on characters from the ceilings too as a Yumenosaki Mystery and also in the beginning of the main story. Where he was hidden in the vents due to his anxiety to show up in person. Also a few other times with Madara and the rest of ALKALOID.

Early stories, with Wataru, Arashi, Tomoya, and Hajime being the main targets. Wataru's view since ! era of crossdressing seems to directly challenge the narrative in aspects, Arashi is written with far more respect past ! era, and Hajime willingly wears a skirt for his Feature Scout 1. Tomoya also seems to have far less problems with it past "Spectacular Cinderella".

Referring to previous comment: as of Obbligato, it is clarified he was attacked by a mob, not in a car accident.
