| 1. | Red Headed Step Child | |
|
A stepchild might be singled out for abuse. But a red-headed stepchild (who presumably looks like his or her absent birth-parent) might be abused even more because he or she is so obviously different from the other children. Myles was the red-head step child of the family, he was never invited to the family reunions.

|
an unwanted, (ashamed of) child. Less than desired child Mike was the red headed step child of the family, treated pretty shabbily.
