When should an accuser be allowed to stay totally anonymous?
)
October 6th, 2010
The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution gives an accused party, among other things, the right to face their accuser. Yet when someone calls Child Protective Services on a parent they are allowed to remain 100% anonymous and are not required to provide any evidence at all, the same goes when a driver is reported to the DMV. In the case of CPS, they can interview children without the consent of parents or legal guardian and open an investigation based on a totally anonymous tip. Do you think an accuser should ever be able to remain anonymous? What if the allegations prove to be unfounded?
