Some of the classic HAP behaviours that a HAP parent may do to invoke Sibling Alienation include things such as:
• Will give the child’s room over to one of the other siblings.
• Will let the other siblings play with the personal possessions of the child, knowing that this intrudes on the child’s right to privacy.
• Tell the other children to not take messages for the child when the other parent may try to call the child.
• Have other siblings physically restrain the child from leaving the house to see the other parent.
• Have other siblings prevent the child from calling the other parent by phone.
• Encourage some of the siblings to denigrate the other parent.
• Encourage the child’s siblings to be mean to the child.
• The HAP parent will favour only those siblings who side with him/her.
• Tell siblings that the child is a traitor to them.
• Tell the child’s siblings that the parent will be made to suffer if the child goes to live with the other parent.
• Make the target child to extra chores and subject the child to tougher rules.
• Turn a blind eye to physical and emotional abuse of the child by his/her siblings.
