The NSPCC's online reporting tool is NOT anonymous. It records the IP address of the computer that made the report and the NSPCC can see it at the other end. They pass this data to Police, who, if deem the report is malicious, can find the house it belongs to and arrest the reporter. I thought IP addresses were classed as personal data? Don't like this at all, it takes guts to make a genuine report.
