An old thread on here says to move his favorite activities to “for kids in underwear only.”
Is he dumping and cleaning out the bucket?? Without leaving any opinion of that...using the toilet or dealing with all of the consequences really needs to be turned over to him. (With proper follow up, unseen by him or not, by parents). This needs to be HIS problem to solve and his parents need to be matter of fact that “he’s got this.” It’s simple (or at least presented to him as simple).
Between all the clean up at home and the lack of his fav activities at your place, maybe he will be clever enough to realize the adults are over it.
