Comment (by dbascent94):

 Have you made any direct database updates recently? I just encountered
 this issue and I solved it by resetting the taxonomy cache in the
 wp_options table. Look for an option_name like ${taxonomy}_children where
 ${taxonomy} is the hierarchical taxonomy you are trying to query, example:
 category_children. If you set that back to null, the next time WP runs the
 query it will recache the results.
