This is the sibling who has been through a lot. Maybe they were bullied? Or the family gaslights them? But at the end of the day this is the sibling who asks out. Who rebels the most. Often they are used as the family’s ‘punching bag’. Often the family will shift its focus from the real issues to this child. The family priorities pointing out this child’s mistakes to the real issue. They are the child that the family reflects their insecurities onto. They get blamed for their family’s mistakes.
Shame she’s the scapegoat of the family
That poor kid has to put up with her family’s crap! What a scapegoat sibling.

The female version of Jim Jones told her congregation where the house of the scapegoat was, in case they wanted to come for him.

A scapegoat is not the same thing as a villain. A scapegoat is closer to a fall guy for the real criminals. The one that does their bidding for them and doesn't get away with it.
The scapegoat wasn't always going to be there to go to jail for the real criminals, then they would have to find another scapegoat, sucker, servant, or bitch, whichever way they phrased it in their tongue.

The one that takes the fall for something negative (like a bounty scandal or worse), the face of something negative.
Though his entire band participated in it, he ended up being the scapegoat until the band got popular again, at which time they replaced his face with their own, front and center.

If every team that cheated got caught, and karma really did exist, nobody would watch baseball on TV anymore, which would make the TV ratings an all time low. Baseball needed a scapegoat team, and they got one with the Houston Astros.
Baseball would be more unpopular than the Houston Astros if every team that cheated could be punished. The true bad guys needed a scapegoat team to make a bad guy out of, and that's what the Houston Astros had become, because they were dumb and not because they betrayed anybody or owe anybody anything (like an apology). They weren't corrupt enough for a corrupt league, and people didnt like that, they were only half-crooked.
