The Que Sera Sera one has been found, however it wasn’t a PSA. It was actually a commercial for a UK crime show.

Jorge I’ve been watching you since middle school now I’m almost done with college. I love seeing how you’ve evolved over the years

I was in a 1980s child abuse PSA. It was produced by WGBH and it aired during an episode of Nova. This is extremely unusual, because WGBH is a PBS affiliate, which doesn't air commercials. The PSA showed a young child crying (the toddler was played by me), then it cuts to a punching bag being hit, then it cuts back to an image of me with a bloody nose and a black eye, it ends with a black screen with the WGBH logo and the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families logo. There was a shorter version that ended after the punching bag scene, without the WGBH logo. I remember seeing it as late as 1996. I can't find a single mention of the PSA anywhere.

Edit: From reports in the replies, it seems to have aired all around the east coast.

Edit 2: I think I have a lead, I was looking at the Paley Center For Media's archive, they have a full, uncut version of "NOVA: Why do Planes Crash?". This episode aired on February 2nd, 1987, which lines up perfectly with the time that the PSA began airing! I'm going to go to NYC when I get the time, so this search might be over after 20 years of searching!

Considering the longer version of “Hate Hurts You” was discovered on 16mm film, and that it “needed some wrangling” the finder could’ve accidentally destroyed it.  Unfortunate, but these things happen. Considering there haven’t been any updates, the fear of public outrage could very easily be the reason.

For me it's a video we were shown in school about a woman who lost her jaw to cancer, and in this raspy voice, she said "I CANNOT DRINK FROM A WATER FOUNTAIN. I HAVE NO SUCTIONNNNN"

I'm sure I am remembering her voice as scarier than it was, but the memory still gives me chills.

i think the reason the peewee herman psa (and others like it) is so unsettling is perhaps because of how unnatural it is to see such an iconic character all of a sudden serious and talking about subject matter completely different from the show. it’s just such a strange full 180 from this over-the-top character to one that is eerily realistic and stern. that’s probably why they chose him— it would affect kids more to see peewee herman say it rather than some random actor they’ve never heard of, a former drug addict, a scientist/doctor, etc. anyway great video! a part two would be cool as well

The child abuse remind me about those commercials about alcoholic parents and how kids see them as scary monsters. There was a child in a park looking over at their parent calling them to go home and then from the child's POV the parent is a grim reaper like hooded creature, another was getting his seatbelt put by his father but through the kid's eyes he is shown as a kidnapper with a plastic face mask on. However those are definitely 00s/10s commercials and not 90s

Thanks for featuring Hate Hurts You and Que Sera Sera! Here’s hoping they get found soon! ✨🎬 -Chance

Hate hurts you sounds like a genuinely really good ad. It communicates how bigotry comes from people who are deeply damaged. When you hurt others you hurt yourself, mostly mentally but physical altercations can always go south. Bigotry is loathing another human, or group of humans, at the end of the day. That's you right there.

Update: the original hate hurts you has been found

The Qué Será Será one seems to be very disturbing, considering the recreation made. I hope it shows up soon

i also remember one about the disgusting aftermath of animal abuse. basically the screen is black but the audio was nuts. you hear a family talking and laughing followed by footage of them bringing a bunch of animals into their house then the screen goes black again as you hear the animals howling in anguish as they get boiling water dumped on them, drowned, burned, tazed, cut up and so on. then the sounds stop and the message "animals have lives" appears. that one wasnt as nightmarish as the anti-gun ones but still chilling as a kid.

PSAs around the world always intrigued me, so it’s sad whenever they get lost.

If I get nightmares because of this, I'm going to blame it on jorge.

"Hate hurts you" is now found

The "Key to Heaven" PSA sounds a lot like an advert I saw once. I think it was called Fragile Childhood-Monsters or something like that. It featured shots of kids looking really uncomfortable and scared, like one holding a womans hand and walking down the street but the mother was out of frame. Eventually the camera switches to show the adult that the children are afraid of and the adults seem like monsters. Grotesque and disfigured, like one having a giant rabbit head. Only difference was, it was a PSA for something like alcohol use and how children see us when we drink

PSAs are always freaky, lost or not
Or just whimsical

I remember the "shabu" PSA. I think the title of it is "ASIDO" which means acid and was aired by a group called "citizen's drug watch" with a logo of an eye (like illuminati).
The recreation doesn't look like that. It is an actual styrofoam or paper humanoid and someone pours actual acid on it.

It is aired alongside another PSA about trash. A person throws trash at the river and then one day when he opened his door, tons of trash came in. Aired at the same station IBC-13.

Turns out Que Sera Sera isn't that scary, and it's an ad for a crime show
