My sources say that the term comes from a 16th century English Ballad/story called "Babes in the Wood" or "Children in the Wood". Nasty tale about a greedy uncle who goes to some dastardly lengths to keep his brother's children from inheriting from their father. In short- he lures them into the wood, to their doom. The uncle does not live happily ever after, either.
