Sarah's backstory is not abusive but very tragic. In Season 2 Sarah and Kira are constantly on the run, It's not technically abuse but pretty traumatizing for the child. Also Gracie is abused by her family in this season (esp. S2E5 and E9). In S3E2 Kira is being held by a Castor Clone

(Season 1 spoiler) Season 1 shows how Beth, Cosima and Allison are being monitored by people close to them. It's not technically stalking but still a break of trust and privacy.

S1E1: on Crave, the time stamp for the scene starting is 22:30, but it doesn't actually happen until just after 23min mark. It's over at 23:16. It mostly looks like foamy slightly pink soap, but it is projected onto the table and there is a close up of it foaming/dribbling from her mouth after for a couple seconds.

Helena is a clone who presents with flat affect, odd speech and later, hallucinations. She was trained to kill as a young child, so her inclination to violence either towards herself or to others are possibly a result of abuse. Her behavior is strange and markedly different to other clones - *spoiler* she is initially a villainous presence - but it is far from a dehumanizing portrayal of a person with psychosis.
