One child in a family does not get singled out as a scapegoat as far as a consistent, lifelong pattern of abuse is concerned. If one is abused they are all abused.
The other side of things, of course, is that if one child claims abuse as an adult and makes a mint on a series of books, the other children in the family are not believed when they say nothing happened, and are told that they are "in denial" or "repressing."
