explain the situation, suggest anonymity is necessary if it is, and if not, provide what specific location info you have. I'm not up on this but I suspect that MOST states/jurisdictions provide some sort of oversight for the 'home-schooled.'

This is clearly an important public policy issue and we ALL are responsible to see to it that future generations are able to take the reins of their lives.

Good luck.
