You actually have examples of several different grammatical constructions here. I'll comment on them separately.

1.>I remember being so excited because he was bringing his guitar to sing to all the kids," she said.
-- Being is a gerund, the object of remember. Its complement is an adjective phrase.

2.>He got the worst of it , being hospitalized for four months
-- I think there are a couple of ways you might try to explain this sentence. What I like best is to consider "being hospitalized" a passive gerund, with that whole last phrase explaining what exactly was "the worst of it".

3.> AFTER BEING ACQUITTED OF CHILD SEX.
-- This is not a complete sentence, so we can't analyze it completely. However, being acquitted is a passive gerund, the object of the preposition after.

4.> Being sued for damaging of his car .
This isn't a sentence either. Here there is so little context that I can't say for sure how "being sued" was being used.

5.> The tarp is a condom the animals being trapped are women with their sexual behaviour.
-- When you see a participial phrase modifying a noun like this, think of it as a shortened form of:
- … the animals <u>that are</u> being trapped are …
In the expanded form, the word "being" is present to make the verb in the clause have the "continuous aspect"; i.e. it is present continuous passive. It shows that the trapping is taking place at the time you are discussing.

6.> I do get that funny felling of something being trapped in my chest.
-- I think this is about the same as #5. The word being emphasizes that the trapping is taking place at the time you are speaking, not something that happened earlier. Here, another interpretation is that "being" is a gerund, the true object of "of", and "something" acts like a subject, saying what is being trapped. (I think this one would be just as natural without "being".)

7. Car being thrown about in the picture.
-- This is also the same as in #5 and 6; it emphasizes that the throwing was taking place at the time the picture represents. Of course it is not a complete sentence.

-- Here is another example that shows how "being" can change a sentence:
- Pat looked in and saw the toys <u>scattered</u> on the floor. [The toys had been scattered earlier; now they are lying still on the floor.]
- Pat looked in and saw the toys being <u>scattered</u> on the floor. [As she looked in, Pat saw someone scattering the toys.]
