This is so embarrassing to even have to write but my 9 year old son will still do a poo in his pants if he is occupied playing or at sometimes at school. He starts it in his pants. Not the whole poo but enough to make a mess and to smell it. It is so disgusting and like I said embarrassing. I have NO idea what to do about this as it is a laziness thing. Any ideas please.

That does not sound like a laziness thing. Laziness is more little kids (2y-4y) that can't be bothered stopping what they are doing to go to the toilet. I would take him to the doctors to see what's going on.

Not laziness in a 9yo.

Off to the docs for him.

Agree, that it is not a laziness thing. Please take your child to a doctor

[jill1972]

It sounds like he might be lacking with his control to stop it when the urge hits. Yep, I'd take him to the doctor.

Your poor son! Take him to the dr please he is not lazy .

[Milly Molly Mand...]

I agree, not laziness. No child that age would rather poo their pants than stop what they are doing to go to the toilet. Google encopresis. See a doctor.

I truly hope you do not tell your son he is disgusting an embarrassing. The wording in your OP suggests that is how you feel about the situation.
