Lucy Grey's backstory involves a fair portion of relationship drama/abuse that relate to her being chosen as a tribute.
Near the end of the novel Snow attempts to kill Lucy, shortly after they had planned to run away together.

The whole idea of the Hunger Games is arguably child abuse.

Someone mentions having melted the skin off of a rat and asks if anyone wants it done to a pet they’ve grown tired of. There’s an old zoo with abandoned animals who seem to be suffering, and mentions that many of the animals had starved to death during the war.

A character mentions multiple times that he enjoys going to dog fights. There are none described in detail in the plot.

Our first introduction to one of our main characters is watching her drop a snake down another girls outfit during the reaping. It is unclear in the moment, but the girls is not harmed physically by the snake.
Later we see a capital child tricked into being bitten by a snake Mutt and is hospitalized. The same snakes kill a fair number of tributes during the games.

Snow's memories of the war note the hunger and desperation of the capitals citizens. He remembers seeing one of his classmates parents near a corpse and removing part of it, assuming that his classmate and her family resorted to cannibalism.

the tributes are starved, and i’d say that counts as torture.

Well the main idea of the games involves a lot of child kidnapping. Snow and his classmates are also put in situations where they are taken or forced into situations against their will.

There is an offhand reference on page 106 of a guidance councillor saying for anyone to talk to her if they are feeling violent tendencies towards themselves or others

There is a person who contracts rabies and becomes very ill and violent, but the violence isn't described, just implied.
