Babies distinguish between right and wrong...

This was an interesting clip from a while ago. The subject was raised in class about moral development and it posed an interesting opportunity to spark reasonable discussion about the research done on individual development.

Wow, How interesting. What an interesting study. I have 4 kids and I have to say by my fourth I realized that by 9 months she was trying to manipulate me. I was Really shocked.

Kids are built to manipulate adults in nearly every capacity.

Have you presented the "bad" character in different color schematics? Maybe babies also have a color preference? Just another variable that you might consider.

If there's no distinguishing feature between the good and bad character then obviously their choice will be random. The fact that they have 3 different methods of illustrating these characters seems to cover the variable of preference whether it is by shape, color, or even animal type.
