This is an interesting topic that took an odd turn. Age of accountability can be a sticky conversation in some complex situations, but generally considered 8 years old. However, as far as children sinning:

"They cannot sin, for power is not given unto Satan to tempt little children, until they begin to become accountable before me" (see D&C 29:46–47).

Which lends itself to the sidebar conversation around all bad things/ actions being attributed to Satan. We all agree that little kids do "bad" things - but if Satan can't tempt them, what caused them?

Maybe a bit of monkey see monkey do? Children under the age of accountability are influenced by their parents. :(

Of course, some kids are almost born evil.

I hope this is a remark made in jest. I've never seen a child born evil or almost evil. They are so amazing and beautiful.
