The way that I saw it, it's essentially because they are seen as weaker that causes them to seek out a witch to "care" for them. Arden is a special case as his partnership is punishment for a transgression... Soooo technically it isn't so much that they're placed anywhere, but rather look for the most powerful shield to hide behind. With the set up we have now, that would be either Rose or Mirai for now.

And witches tend to do it because a)what they feel is moral obligation b) they are supposed to. c)cool pet d) powerful heirs. 

Not unheard of for covens to keep a male just for that purpose.
