Pinocchio has elements of child abuse, murder, and torture.
In an earlier version of Pinocchio, the "boy" slams a hammer on Jiminy Cricket, crushing him and feel zero remorse for his actions. (Karma catches up with the little brat, as he ends up burning his feet to ash.)
But what really takes the cake—after Gepetto transforms him from a puppet to a human child, the first thing he does is run away. and continues to spread malicious rumors about Gepetto abusing him. The poor old man is thrown into prison. In the end, Pinocchio is caught and hanged from a tree for all the trouble he's caused.
