Clarifying edit: By "evil" I mean children are capable of nigh-unimaginable cruelty, partially because they don't understand the ramification of their actions, and partly because sometimes no one is willing to stop them.
But even if children, are by their circumstances inclined to act in a manner that is evil, or because they are not aware of the ramification of their actions, or because they are unsupervised. These things are all fundamentally nurture rather than nature. Which reinforces the point that evil is not a result of what one is, but what one does or thinks.
