You can transfer miles into a BA HHA, I have done it with BMI miles. You simply cannot transfer into an avios.com HHA, or out of one. The reason is that an avios.com HHA is genuinely pooled (ie you no longer have your own individual balance) unlike BA.
What I explained above is what you have to do if you (the parent) want to get 2,500 Avios in YOUR account by exploiting your kids, without having to put yourself in a HHA with your kids (which for various reasons may be impractical).
