This has nothing to do with the bathroom, it's about control. You can't make them eat and you can't make them use the toilet. (I had one boy who saved his urine in bottles and buckets). This is a tough behavior to deal with and to stop. This is an expression of anger and of feeling out of control. Are you working with an attachment therapist? Hold your children accountable for their choice. If they can clean it up, have them do it. If someone has to be paid for damage, they need to earn the money to pay you back. A therapist needs to help your family deal with the root of the problem. This is just a symtom. Since you probably have to look for the cause of the smell, I would empty their rooms except for their beds. This makes the behavior harder to hide.
I wish I had a solution for you. This goes away with healing.
Hang in there.
