Au contraire, according to previous answers, aborted babies are sinless, therefore babies must be sinless unless the abortion procedure is Jesusfied.

Below this is a question about babies, and christians said they are born innocent. Now they are born with sin.
Hard to figure out xianity when they all have different concepts of how it works.

You ask a very good question. My guess is after the child learns what is right and wrong and deliberately does something wrong.
Abortion is recognized as a sin - so the aborted life is sinless. Orthodox Christians do not believe in the dogma of Original Sin a la Catholics and nearly everyone else.
I hope you asked this question with good intentions and not to stir the pot.

According to the criminal procedure code in many countries children can not be charged with any offense until they over 14 years of age. If some child commits an act which is a crime as per societal norms then he is to be sent to a juvenile correction home. So strictly no child is infected with any sin till he is about 15 when he will start his fire works and start sinning.

a child is usually born innocent except with the orginal sin fo rebellion which though still infects but was defeated by Jesus on the cross at Calavary. the bible states that the age of accountability at age 12-13. jewish bar and bah mitzah is at 12-13.

We are all born in Sin. We came here with a sin nature, inherited from Adam. But as a believer, we are not to let sin reign in our lives. Christ paid the sin debt, he was the ultimate, only, and the last sacrifice

This is an individual thing. Usually when the child is able to realize that they are willfully choosing to do wrong. For many as young as 7 or 8 others 10 or 11.

There is no such thing as sin. Sin, and all moral judgements, is a construct of the human mind and changes from time to time and place to place depending on social conventions.
There are however immutable laws of cause and effect. Do good and you come closer to God. Do bad and you are removed further from God.
It's as simple as that.
Oh, and there's only one commandment, Love thy neighbor.
It's all about Love.

Infected? Wow you have swallowed the right wing conservitive hook. I think they must be catching sin from the children of liberal parents while at public school. Better keep him/her at home so they will not get infected with a thought.

By the time, the child is able to understand what they have done is wrong and be able to understand accountablity. Usually around the age of 8 years old.

It is not a question of "infection"
We were all born with a sin nature due to the fall of Adam
