I'm thinking of babies who die before they can ever commit a sin. What happens if they grow up in Heaven to be total deliquents and start tearing the place up? Can God send them to Hell? Or is it "what happens in Heaven stays in Heaven"?

I think you're free of sin once you're in Heaven, so I'd have to say "no."

To honestly answer your question One must live become educated, live a good life go to heaven and ask, then be brought back to life and find you and answer this question.
How I think that heaven would be like is more of a ageless situation as if your soul remained the same age as when you past from earth and all the harmful and painful feelings removed. So the baby will always be a baby and feel the best a baby could feel and remain like this forever. always feeling the best it can.
But I am also sure it will be much more than that but our knowledge is limited and stuck into thinking how life is and with thinking like we do we can have negative thoughts of even paradise thinking if nothing ever changes and it is like this forever would we not become bored or something. But like I said we are thinking on a one dimensional thought and the spiritual mind I am sure is much more.

No because people will only go to Heaven after they have been completely purged of any and all attachment to sin.
This process of spiritual cleansing is what we Catholics call Purgatory. Purgatory can either happen here through suffering in this world offered up to God (the good thief on the cross is an example) or after we die and leave this world. It says in the bible that nothing unclean can enter into Heaven. Plus, in Heaven there will be no temptation to sin.
The test of the angels to weed out the bad ones was already done. The test of us humans in this world will be done when each of us dies and gets judged by God, or at the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ when He returns in glory to judge the living and the dead.
About babies who die before they can commit a sin, we don't know for sure exactly what happens to them, but we do know for sure that God would be merciful to them. So, we have hope for them, and we can trust in God's mercy.
14: but Jesus said, "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." -Matthew chapter 19
By the way, the word "children" in the above passage, if translated literally, would be translated as "infants".

Let me fill you in on couple of things.
First, I hope you understand that God has no reason to send innocent children to hell. They are innocent from the foundation of the world and are saved by the grace of Jesus Christ. They haven't sinned and they do not, I repeat do not bear Adam and Eve's transgression.
Second, Satan has no influence in Heaven anymore. Therefore children cannot be influenced by his temptations there.
Third, I hope you believe in the literal resurrection of all human kind because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave.
I don't know what you mean by "what happens in Heaven stays in Heaven" Heaven is not Las Vegas. No unclean thing can dwell in the presence of God.
The resurrection from the dead, the reuniting of the spirit of a person with their deceased body made incorruptable and perfect, through Jesus Christ's resurrection, will happen to everyone no matter what they have done in this life. On the other hand, what they have done in this mortal life will determine whether or not they get to dwell with God. Every child that lived and died before the age of accountability will be resurrected in the same body they had when they died and will be allowed to grow up on this earth as if they had never died. The parents who lost their child will get the chance to finish raising that child to adulthood, assuming the parents are worthy of such an opportunity.
Children cannot grow up in heaven the way you might be thinking they grow up on earth. This would deny the justice and mercy of God as it pertains to righteous parents who have lost innocent children.
People who firmly believe children who die before they are "baptized" go to hell or purgatory or whatever they call it really need to give up this vicious dogma and start believing in the atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is a satanic, anti-christ doctrine, what good mother in her right mind would believe such a thing.
I could go on but if you have any questions feel free to write.

No because souls do not go to heaven upon death. The Bible says:
"For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten." (Ecclesiastes 9:5 KJV)

I don't know, but according to the Bible, Satan was an angel in Heaven who turned against God and he was cast out of Heaven.

HELL COMES FROM THE HEBREW WORD SHOEL WHICH MEANS ((( THE GRAVE )))
THERE IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION FOR THOSE WHO KEEP GODS LAWS IN THIS LIFE AND A SECOND RESURRECTION FOR EVERYONE ELSE AFTER WE RIEGN ON THIS EARTH WITH CHRIST 1000 YEARS. DURING THE SECOND RESURRECTION ALL THOSE WHO DID NOT ACCEPT CHRIST IN THIS LIFE WILL BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO THEN. AND THERE WILL BE SOME EVEN THEN THAT WILL NOT ACCEPT CHRIST AND FOR THEM IS WHAT IS CALLED THE SECOND DEATH IN GEHENNA FIRE WHICH WILL BURN YOU TO ASH ALMOST INSTANTLY AND YOU WILL BE NONEXISTENT.
Re 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Re 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Re 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

No because in Heaven there will be no sin whatsoever, so no one will be able to "turn bad."

There is no heaven or hell. This is all there is so your question has no meaning.
