If I make a report, can I remain anonymous or can someone find out I made the report?
You may remain anonymous when making a report of adult maltreatment. Minnesota state statute indicates the name of the person making a maltreatment report is confidential. It will not be given to the victim, perpetrator, or anyone else by County staff (unless ordered by a judge - which is very rare). It is possible the victim or perpetrator may figure out or even guess as to who made the report.
