Answer 3

My step-son has this same problem and he just turned 7 last week.  He will go pee in the toilet but as far as pooping he will do it in his pants.  We took him to the doctor countless times before we found one that has actually taken the time to look into it.  We just found this doctor last week as a matter of fact.   The doctor said that he doesnt have the muscle to hold it.  We are waiting for all the tests to come back to see if thats actually the case though.  If it is true, we may have to opt for surgery.

Answer 4

I don't understand why you would be reported to CPS over this.

If your daughter has diagnoses of ODD and ADD I would think they definitely have something to do with this issue! This is exactly the kind of thing kids with ODD do as it proves that they are the ones in control. If she was my child I'd take her back to the doctor until I found someone who could really help.

Answer 5

Do you know if your daughter was sexually abused by someone?  I worked with a lot foster children and this behavior is usually associated with sexual abuse.  We had one child who would smear the p**p on the toilet, bath tub, walls etc. and her brother used to try to eat it.  If you have any suspicions of her being left alone with someone who could have hurt her then you need to talk to her and ask some questions.  She is a little young for her to tell her all the details about s*x but ask some general questions about if anyone has ever done anything to hurt her, or asked her to keep a secret, has anyone said that they would hurt someone if she told a secret...General phishing questions.  I sure hope that this isn't the reason but if you have any concerns then you need to find out asap!

Anyone else familiar with these type of behaviors might suspect abuse also and that is why social services is being called.  Good Luck.
