I hope you'll post this, as it relates to children, but isn't about performing magic around them.
My question is - why do the fae appear to have so much interest in taking children, and in some cases replace them with a changeling? (Which is, I'm assuming, an etheric construct, which is why they were said to quickly sicken and die)
From a few weird accounts of people who were either released or escaped when they were older, they don't appear to want to harm the children, and in some cases teach them things. But how and why would beings made of etheric energy do this?
