Somehow my answer did not post! So sorry - I will try again.
Please take your son to his doctor. A child this age should be able to control his bowels and want to do so. He needs to be evaluated to figure out if this is a physical problem or an emotional one. In the meantime, do not try punish or reward him any more - it may be confusing to him. Reacting strongly also may be giving him too much attention for a behavior that is not appropriate.
