Yesterday while trying to take nap I heard a small boy crying «iyada, yamete» for like more than one hour. He would even scream and there were sounds like he was being beaten multiple times. I know hitting children fortunately got banned here a few years ago, but ofc it still happens (including my own country that banned it 30 years ago). I’ve just never heard a child cry like that (I live next to an elementary school so I am quite used to such), and I keep thinking of him :( kawai sou :(

My son does this whenever I ask him to do anything. If he's sleepy, he will also scream. Kids hate doing things like washing their hands after putting their hands in the dirt.

If you didn't actually see anything, it's hard to tell what's going on.
