PS if she has been doing it for 3 years as you say ,that would have made her 2 year old, I suggest to you that many children would still be in diapers and not potty trained?

When she started to do this had there been any change in her life, a new sibling, any upheavals at home, I would ask Why she started to do this,what could have caused it ? .

I agree with the above, this may be a physical problem or an emotional one.  Either way she's not doing it on purpose, she needs to be checked out both physically and emotionally.  Best wishes.

Have her checked out.  She is not doing it on purpose and needs you to be her advocate.
