[1] is a paper showing adults can distinguish boys' and girls' voices from age 4. The "mean fundamental frequency" is the same for boys and girls, but the "formant spacing" (differences in pitches of adjacent vowels, I think) was different.

I can't find anything on children screaming.

Screaming isn't particularly well-articulated :)
