Have Problem Of Pooping In Pants Even After Growing Up

I have a 14 year old nephew who still poops his pants he wears a pull up everyday.
He is very smart in school and excellent in all sports, but for some reason he will not poop in the bathroom.
It also seems when he poops his pants he becomes a different child he becomes very social and happy for the most part. There are allot of problems going on in his household he comes from a very dysfunctional family

inability to maintain clean pant Could be due to many causes. It requires thorough assessment including complete clinical examination, digital rectal examination and psychological assessment.
