Not too big of scene, but on one page Charlie does specify that she used to have a dog when she was very little, but one day he disappeared without her ever finding out why. Very small scene but forgot what chapter!

(MASSIVE SPOILER+TRIGGER WARNING)
Might not be the definition of brutalized, but Charlie is taken into a house where she is sold to do things with grown men as a minor. Mentioned in several chapters throughout the book, mainly a little later.

(MAJOR SPOILERS!!!)
Lots of Charlie's depression is centered around her best friend, Ellis's, suicide attempt, which essentially left her brain-dead due to blood loss. Charlie's roomate/friend from the mental hospital, Louisa, sets herself on fire, though this scene is not graphic since Charlie finds out from her friend, Blue. We find out that Charlie's dad died by drowning in a river during her childhood, but this scene is very brief and not very detailed.
