I am unavailable to do justice to this, but here is the link. There is plenty that this site found. Child slavery child killing and more.

In what must be the best acted scene in Volume 2, between a blue painted man and a CGI raccoon, we learn that as children Rocket and Yondu were both taken by people and forced into a painful reality. Yondu was sold into slavery by his own parents while Rocket was illegally experimented on by uncaring scientists. In fact, Rocket has been so abused as a child that he can’t even be touched without reacting violently and the best joke he can think of is stealing the body parts of handicapped people and laughing at them.

Violence, and in turn abuse, is not inherent, it is taught. If all we learn as a child is violence, like Rocket and Yondu, then that’s all we know to give back. It’s how they can kill an entire ship full of people, bodies pouring down around them, and laugh while doing it.
