You are not born broken or bad, and infants don't consciously reject their parents. They do react to or respond to their parents, but they aren't able to make judgements or decisions. So in that respect I agree with you T that they are innocent. Some people believe babies are born a "blank slate" and others believe they are born with a certain temperment, which I think is what's generally accepted now. So how they turn out is usually thought to be a combination of this inborn personality type and their environment.
