I'm afraid not. The law is something outside of you that is present whether you are aware of it or not. Hence the "Ignorance of the law is no excuse" bit.

Consequentially, most and possibly all children have a unique self-centeredness, allowing them to experiment freely with the boundaries of human morals without feeling restraint out of fear for causing others pain. In that sense, children are really the most evil beings of us all
This sounds like you are arguing that humanity is born bad.

Quote:
If someone is absolutely evil, he or she will not know good. S/he cannot choose to be not evil.
I disagree. I think part of evil is knowing good and deliberately rejecting it. Under this definition absolute evil would be a total rejection of any good or positive action...in other words, total destruction.

Quote:
wholly good is, as wholly bad, the absence of all action
How so? You don't think good could be a creative force and still be good?
