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.

A bashling. Some one who is singled out for emotional abuse and/or physical abuse. Some one who gets purposely written out of their inheritance. Some one with no birth rights. Some one purposely neglected financially. The unfavored one.

1. Red heads are to be avoided
2. That step children are to be avoided.
So the idea of the both combined is doubly hateful

a tired simile meaning to beat badly. A fresher phrase would be to "beat like a fat kid stealing lunches"
