This thread explores the topics.

My blog post uses Netflix's show "Fate: The Winx Saga" to provide a framework for how changeling myths are still culturally relevant today.
The show re-interprets the myth to promote acceptance, with a changeling being the hero of the show.

For centuries, folk beliefs led to disabled children being labeled as "changelings."
A "changeling" is a faery or enchanted object believed to have been left in place of a human child abducted by faeries.
Children labeled as changelings were routinely murdered.
