Mariana, Charlie and Quackity are all semi-neglectful parents. They are not the best parents but they aren't wilfully abusive.
The closest it gets to full-blown child abuse is when Charlie locks his daughter Juanaflippa in the 'Flippa cage' and is harsh to her given its what his dad used to do to him, however in the same stream he decides to try and be a better parent, and he stops.

In season 1's "Exes and Ooohs", we meet Moxxie's father, Crimson--throughout the episode he is physically and mentally abusive to Moxxie, and flashbacks prove he's been the same way since Moxxie was small.
In the season 2 premiere, "The Circus," Stolas' father Paimon forces him into an arranged marriage with the shrewish Stella and is implied to be supremely neglectful. We also meet Blitzø's father Cash Buckzo, who not only sells Blitzø to Paimon for literal pocket change but then goes on to demand the child steal as much as he can carry out of the house.

You could certainly make the arguent that the Hatbox Ghost's abusive upbringing led him to be evil. He was punished by his father for crying at his mother's funeral.
