I am a stepmother of five children and am having serious trouble with
our seven-year-old. He still poops himself. He is well aware that he
does it and always seems to feel bad afterwards but we can't seem to
get him to stop doing it. He does this up to three or four times a day!

I doubt he can control this, so punishment won't help. Get him to a ped.
