In Massachusetts, The Department of Children and Families does not release the name of the reporter unless the case is referred to The District Attorney's Office for Prosecution, and then the Department can release any reporter's identifying information to that office.
Laws, policy and procedure vary greatly from state to state as evidenced in the significant differences I've noted while working in the same field in both New York and Massachusetts.
