Depends. The little monsters harass the family in their home throughout the film, but this is unlikely to be triggering.

In typical horror movie fashion rather than believe the child that something is going on they say it's her and try to make it seem like it's her fault. The dad also gaslights his girlfriend when she starts believing what the daughter is saying.

Attacked by monsters, but you could make a case for neglect / bad parenting too.

Arguably the maid in the start of the film is tortured, as is the groundskeeper later on after being stabbed repeatedly by sharp objects.

Two characters, one at the beginning of the film and one at the end, fall and aren't seen again. We don't see or hear them impact with the ground.

No, but there's a few instances that come very close including the dad barely avoiding getting hit in the eye with a sharp object and instead it impacts his upper cheek close to his eye.

It's strongly implied that a child died off screen at the start of the film. Later the 10 y/o protagonist is in mortal peril but survives.

The dad's girlfriend is not the little girl's mom, though she is an adult who clearly cares for the girl which might fall under 'parent' depending on how you define that.

Depends. The daughter is taking Adderall, and when the girlfriend comments on it the dad says that the mom 'medicates her dogs', and later the psych that sees the daughter talks about restarting the medication which implies they took her off the Adderall thinking she didn't need it without getting a professional opinion on if that was safe. This could def be taken as abelist behavior, the stereotype not believing a child with a potential behavioral and/or learning disorder needs their medication.
