* BrokenAesop: Yello Dyno's advice is to simply "take three steps back" and "run like the wind", but when Lyric tries it on Reginald Charming, he either frightens her into submission or overpowers her physically. She's only saved from a horrible fate by Yello Dyno himself.

** Mention must also be given to what immediately follows this, as Yello Dyno notices her pain and approaches to ask if she's alright. She delivers the above line, and he immediately realizes what she's talking about, offers her a hug, and assures her that it was ''not'' her fault. Notably, the camera keeps his goofy smiling face completely out of frame the entire time, and his voice is much more solemn and soft.
---> '''Yello Dyno:''' "Hey. It wasn't your fault, okay?"
---> ''*Carmen cries as she hugs him*''
---> '''Yello Dyno:''' "We need to tell your mom and dad..."

Added DiffLines:

* NightmareFuel: Charming corners Carmen early in the film and proceeds to blackmail her with photographs he's taken of her. The viewer isn't allowed to see the photographs, heavily implying that he possess ''child pornography'' of her. This scene was cut from a later version of the film for being easily the most disturbing moment in it.

* DontShootTheMessage: [[http://safelyeverafter.com/tips.html Child safety experts]] do in fact say that cautioning children about “Tricky People” is a much more helpful lesson than TooSmartForStrangers, as children should be aware of suspicious ''behavior,'' which can come from people they know. As for how that message is presented in this show, now...

** Viewers seem to be divided on whether Wendell was a dangerous (albeit stupid and incompetent) predator himself who escaped justice, a co-dependent enabler who helped Charming get away with awful things despite feeling guilty about it, or just a completely oblivious dimwit who didn't realize what was happening and would be horrified if he knew what Charming was really doing.

* HarsherInHindsight: The fact that the main villain is a successful music producer and executive was meant to make it more surprising he was a predator. However, after high-profile incidents involving the likes of Creator/HarveyWeinstein and Jeffrey Epstein, the movie now hits much closer to home. Not to mention Music/RKelly, whose crimes hit even closer, having been a recording artist and music producer himself.
