None of the parents are great, but it doesn't seem like abuse.

"Mr. Slughorn" follows and speaks to each of the golden ticket recipients in a way that feels a bit creepy.

No, but Veruca's parents are seen briefly arguing where the father is clearly distressed but the mother remains calm. Might be a bit upsetting scene to some.

Its been suggested that all of the bad things that happen to the kids were deliberate to punish them but it's arguable if that's abuse.

There's a shot of a chicken being beheaded in the tunnel scene, though I'm not sure if a chicken was actually killed for this scene.

A film of a chicken being decapitated is projected onto the walls of the tunnel during the boat ride. It was the 70s I guess

this version leaves the four brats' fates unknown and makes their situations more dangerous (this version explicitly states violet could explode) but its not surprising people assume the kids are dead here.

A reminder that dysmorphia involves a delusion about the person's body, and does not includes situations where the body is actually transformed.

Augustus and his family are portrayed as gluttonous fat people. In their introduction, one family member bites off a piece of the microphone to indicate jus thow much they love to eat. During Augustus' demise at the Chocolate Factory, the Oompa Loompas sing a song teaching kids to not eat too much or they'll become fat. The song, however, wasn't played for laughs.

No. Violet swells up and turns into a "gigantic blueberry". This isn't meant to be a fat suit, though it clearly is a special suit to make her look big and round.
