There are no actual parents, abusive or otherwise, but it might be worth noting that the antagonist's remarks to the protagonist are sometimes similar to things an emotionally abusive parent might say.

The final boss fight takes place in a room filled with neurotoxin. While no one is heard or seen struggling, GLaDOS makes fun of humans who choked from the neurotoxin before.

Your entire character (no isolated body parts) can get crushed by machinery, but this isn't graphic and is treated as a default death scene.

There is a quick description of possible damage to crowns and blood taste in the mouth.
But no teeth is seen in the whole game.

Chell (your character) is equipped with boots designed to prevent this. She might occasionally cry out in pain though. Also, you technically can fall to your death if you jump off a surface into the water.

During the GLaDOS boss fight, the monitors display rapidly flashing images. I don't know why so many people voted no since it's very much there, especially before the timer starts.

There's an in game fluid that looks like very dirty water, if the player falls in it, they'll die, but there'll be no movements or sounds that show any signs of actual drowning, so that could not be the case
