hello Gregg Bell,
There are three covers I like. To me, they all suggest different but relevant facets of the story. In order of preference;
the grey scale of the baby staring at the ceiling posted 9/9
of the original four, the blue one with two hands reaching towards each other
the green one (though it has a tendency towards the creepy side)
I agree the one with the teen on the bed suggests abuse of some type (since you can see her bare legs etc and she's curled up)
the doll ones are really creepy and I don't like horror
If you go with sub-text I'd suggest cutting out the references to evil because again they suggest horror. Maybe anonymise the phrase to -
BABY
...when he cries for help will anybody hear
since it's the teen who is going to respond to his cries, not exactly the reader and the use of 'will you hear' is making the reader too active in the equation
good luck with it
