Unfortunately, siblings can pick up this abusive behaviour and see this as acceptable to blame the scapegoat as well. The golden child is more likely (not always this is what happened to my sister) to follow in the abusive footsteps. The golden child is showered with material goods and praise for their good behaviour. This can lead to an unhealthy sense of self as my sister was being taught she can do no wrong, and blame other people for her wrong doings. So once the scapegoat is seen breaking the rules, the golden child (can, this is in my experience and it is important to note not every golden child will act like this) will be filled with rage and report to the narcissistic mother. The golden child is then showered with praise, and then sees how angry the mother is because of the scapegoat, this then confirms the golden child’s belief that the scapegoat is bad and it is their fault Mom is so angry and hits them.
