Nah, the evidence suggests that most children develop empathy before they're 5 years old. Altruism is an innate trait of many intelligent, social species and we aren't an exception. The problem is that we live within systems that reward anti-social behavior. The laws are to control the minority. (In theory. They don't work when the broken people get too much power.)
