Filing a false report is a misdemeanor with a maximum sentence of one year in jail.

Absent a court order (which is almost impossible to get), there is no legal way to get the name of someone calling in a report to DCF. Once the DCF investigation closes, you can get a copy of the report. They'll black out any means they think you can use to identify the complainant, but often you can still figure it out.
