The trope page currently titled "Ambiguous Innocence" is about being innocent (like a child is considered innocent) causing someone to not know right from wrong.
Unlike all the other tropes beginning with "Ambiguous(ly)", there doesn't seem to be anything necessarily unclear about these characters. It makes it sound like the trope is about it being ambiguous as to whether or a character is innocent—in the sense of "without guilt" or innocent of a specific crime. The title seems to be referring to moral ambiguity, but that's not accurate either, as this trope is portraying a character's morality (or lack thereof) in a very specific manner.
Something like "Amoral Innocence" seems like it would much better indicate what the trope is about.
