Human beings are born absolutely pure and sinless,their slates are completely clean,and they are as holy as the angels in heaven.The age of reason does not begin until 7 years old,when the mind can then be tempted and good and evil is understood.The world then begins to influence their minds in positive and negative ways.

Good.
Mothers and Fathers know about what I am going to say here. When your child is born, they have no ability to comprehend anything other than they are no longer in the 98.6 degree womb of Mom. They come out into the colder dryer air and get placed at Mom's breast. They do not show their ingratitude. They don't think poorly of anyone. They don't lie, conspire, lust. They respond only to bodily pangs with a great deal of confusion. .
Ultimately they will begin to see the world through our eyes. We show them how to be angry and selfish and impatient. We show them the world is not fair. We show them that their once Eternal minds are now temporal and they must adopt our own distorted view of life.
It all started with Adam.

Humans are born neither good nor evil. A person's character is a product of nurture, not nature.

Humans are born neutral... They have done nothing yet to exemplify good or evil behavior. I also don't believe you can completely classify anyone just as good or evil... The world is not a black or white place.

Not evil, unless you consider screaming and crying at birth to be evil deeds. Probably more like you are born and feel that you were put into an evil, cold, spanking, brightly lit, shot giving world. lol

Neither.
Children are born a Blank slate and learn positive and negative behavior from others around them.

We are born with the capacity for both - the yin & yang. It's how you apply that capacity that is important not that you have it.

Good and evil are not inherited traits... they are learned behaviors.
