I really see two different ideas being discussed here:
1) the idea of a child being born with inherent, original sin, resulting from the fall and inherited from Adam, and
2) a child being born with a sin nature resulting from the fall and inherited from Adam.
I believe the first leads to the idea of infant baptism to wash away the inherent sin, as in the RCC, and the second leads to the idea of an age of accountability, before which one has a sin nature but is not held accountable for sins committed prior to some point in one's life.
David seems to be arguing from the viewpoint of the first, while Judy seems to be arguing from the viewpoint of the second. Do I have this right?
