So, here's the thing. Kids are incredibly sensitive and it's extremely harmful to expose them to adult content or really anything above their age level. You owe your sister a big, sincere apology.

Kids are pretty resilient. Just bc it’s not appropriate for a 7 year old doesn’t mean that’s it SOOOO inappropriate that he’s going to be traumatized and wetting his pants every time he see’s a spooky drawing for the rest of life.

All kids are different. I like horror movies now, but as a kid I was VERY scared of them: I couldn't even look at horror movie posters or covers. If somebody had shown me even something basic like Friday the 13th back then I would have gone into full-on panic mode.

No, but nightmares for a few months are a very common occurrence to something violent or scary. Leading to other difficulties such as loss of sleep and degraded school performance.

It was a drawing. He’s 7 years old and I’m going to assume does not live in a bubble.

Just because I read 1984 when I was 13 didn’t mean I was traumatized by it. I just became more mature.
