Applying the legalistic approach, we cannot judge someone against an independently existing standard if they lack the capacity to appreciate or intend the consequences of them breaching that standard.
Applying this to the discussion at hand, a baby is neither evil nor good because they lack the capacity to judge whether their actions measure up to our assessment of what is evil and what is good. A baby is morally neutral.
