someone mentioned a possibility of using children because they may have a higher mortality rate due to disease etc if i understood his or her point accurately
but they wouldn't of sacrificed children who had diseases or were ill or malformed in any way.
most deities demand pure and ''perfect''sacrifices.the best of the and cream of the crop type thing.
i know for myself and i know others who would never make an offering of something that wasn't clean and perfect.(not offering children over here LOL)
without knowing what the sacrifice was for i wont even begin to guess why it happened.

Men soon the faults of others learn
A few their virtues, too, find out;
But is there one—I have a doubt—
Who can his own defects discern?
