A kid screaming "I DON'T WANNA DO IT" outside my (27F) window every morning

I moved into a new flat in a new neighborhood last summer, and that's when I noticed a kid always screaming "I DON'T WANNA DO IT" every morning. I'm not kidding, literally *every* morning, whether it's weekdays or weekends, holidays or not. Every single day. I've been keeping count of the days he screams, it's been 184 days now. <br><br>Every morning, I wake up to this scream. It's always around the same time too. Sometime a little before 7am, but between 7:03 and 7:04, he lets out a blood-curdling scream that echoes through the whole city block. "I DON'T WANNA DO ITTTTTT!!" And then it's followed by his mom shouting "JASPER, GET UP"!! I can hear the whole conversation somewhat clearly since I live in a ground floor apartment and they live in one of the houses directly across from us. I'm just hoping this kid doesn't snap or do something crazy one day. Damn kid refuses to shut up every morning. I don't get it.<br><br>I really want to know what's going on with this kid. What is he being forced to do? I don't know. But I want to know.<br><br>​<br><br>EDIT: WOW THIS GOT POPULAR. I wrote this in like 30 seconds, that's why it's so poorly written, sorry lads. Alright, because a lot of people have been asking:<br><br>I don't know exactly what house it is. I don't hear anything else from their house or any houses nearby except for that scream and that one shout from the mom. It's a residential street that's not very busy at all. I think it might be the house directly in front of mine, but I'm not entirely sure. Like I said, I wasn't actually paying attention to these screams. The only thing I really noticed was that it was happening every day, and sometimes multiple times a day. But it's always at the same time. I'm not gonna talk to the mom or anything. But I'm gonna keep counting as long as I live here.<br><br>I'm sorry to disappoint but I'm not going to make a video recording. I don't see the point.<br><br>​<br><br>EDIT 2: Well, Day 185 came and went. And the kid didn't scream this morning.<br><br>​<br><br>EDIT 3: Wow this post really blew up. Well today was day 187 and the kid screamed again. I guess that means he was just sleeping in yesterday.<br><br>​<br><br>EDIT 4: He's been consistently screaming every morning for the past week or so now.<br><br>​<br><br>EDIT 5: I think it’s time to stop counting. I’m moving out at the end of the month so there won’t be any more screams for me to count.<br><br>​<br><br>EDIT 6: The kid doesn't live there anymore. (I think he moved out sometime after I moved out.)
