“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

A Meeting About My Children—Without Any Stated Reason

⟡ SWANK Conference Dispatch ⟡

28 February 2024

If There’s a Concern, Why Has No One Shared It?

I. A Meeting Invitation—Missing Its Premise

On 28 February 2024, Rhiannon Hodgson, Case Conference Coordinator for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC), issues a formal letter to Polly Chromatic:

You are invited to attend a Child Protection Conference regarding Regal, Prerogative, Kingdom & Heir on Monday 4 March at 10:30am, at the Malton Road Hub.

Attached: a CPC preparation form.
Absent: any explanation of what the concern actually is.

No allegations. No incident. No cause.
Just a scheduled event demanding presence and submission — without basis.

II. Polly’s Response—Elegant and Devastating

Sent the same morning, timestamped 10:59, from noellebonneannee@me.com, Bcc’d to Nannette Nicholson for institutional memorialisation:

“No one has expressed to me why they are worried about my children.”
“It would be nice if someone could inform me.”

That is the entire response.
A sentence with more dignity than the entire procedure.
A legal haiku of parental defiance.

III. The Pattern: Protecting Children From… What, Exactly?

This is not safeguarding.
This is administrative theatre without a script.

To date, Polly had:

  • Provided documentation

  • Repeatedly stated her boundaries

  • Responded to every referral

  • Requested clarity multiple times

And yet — RBKC schedules a multi-child protection meeting with no allegation, no trigger, and no procedural legitimacy.

This isn’t protection.
It’s harassment by calendar invite.
