Another option (if possible) is to take the burden yourself. "I've seen when you've been behaving in this way and I don't feel that this is appropriate for the club". Rather than the implication of "someone has complained and I am following this through" it becomes "I, on behalf of the organisation, feel that this behaviour is inappropriate. If you're going to take an issue with that, you take it up with me first and foremost."
In the case of the Higheschooler you mentioned, this is less possible due to the parents obviously being told by the daughter and obviously not being party to the grievances. In this situation your options are more limited.
- jlokier 7y agoIt was less possible for the parents to protect their daughter's identity, but it was eminently possible for the principal, who even went to the beach to see for himself. The photo was circulated to a large group after all. The principle had more than enough visibility on the harrassment and hostile environment, to apply discipline without identifying any particular target of hostility, and anyway it should have been treated as unacceptable behaviour regardless of whether there was anyone in particular targeted. There was certainly no need to identify the daughter, who was essentially a whistleblower. Now the school is being sued for failing to protect her identity, rightly in my view.
