Hi...please do not be worried. What you are describing is fitting into text book description of a condition called Encopresis - wherein the child will be initially constipated and due to this the kid holds back the stools which become hard, and the freshly formed stools will seep around the old hard stools and come out when it is uncontrollable. Once constipation is treated well, this condition will get better by itself. Do not worry. Regards-
