The problem with abuse calls from kids to elders is that all must be investigated. I would prefer no anonymous calls. The person being investigated doesn't have to be identified but the state should know and file charges if it is determined the report was malicious or vengeful.

Amen! I have a dear friend in W.VA that was visited by CPS due to an anonymous call. She & her husband are wonderful parents. She was totally freaked out for about a month; the time it took to get the all clear.

Absolutely. Anyone can call and say anything, for any reason. They need to be identified, if not to the people being accused, even though the law says that people have the right to face their accusers, at least some official would know who it is, and a follow up could be to ask that person WHY they filed a false claim, and made the state spend all that money investigating it.
