Branching off of an earlier question about Craster, the Wildlings, and human sacrifice, is it possible that children who were the result of incest or intra-clan relations served as sacrifices to the Others? After all, as I understand it, for a taboo to remain in place there has to be some violation of it going on in the periphery of that society.

That’s a distinct possibility – left exposed to the elements, folktales about how the Fair Folk sometimes spirit away these children, but no one knows for sure.
