Social Services re elder/child abuse and unidentified accusers

Factual Questions
1

Re this thread does Social Services ever have to legally give the identity of the accuser to the accused in a child or elder abuse case? Is there some point in the process where the accused can legally force Social Services to yield up the accuser’s identity?

Isn’t there some consitutional right under the law to be able to face you accuser at some point, or is that not germane to this situation? How can anyone defend against unidentifed accusers?

Based on my experience in child protective services, there is no right to face the person making the original report. There is only a right to confront the witnesses against you in a court proceeding, but even then, the accuser may not be one of the witnesses.
