“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

The Law Says I Get a Copy — So Why Am I Still Asking?

 📜 SWANK Dispatch: You’ve Had 3.5 Years to Investigate. Where’s the Report?

🗓️ 15 July 2020

Filed Under: unlawful investigation, DSD misconduct, homeschool discrimination, failure to provide report, TCI legal breach, safeguarding abuse, sexual abuse by doctor, AG request for intervention, Ashley Forbes inaction, complaint ignored

“Three and a half years.
Still no report.
Still no reason.
Still harming my children
while claiming to protect them.”
— A Homeschooling Mother Still Waiting for the Law to Apply to Her Family

In this formal letter to Attorney General Rhondalee Braithwaite-Knowles, Polly Chromatic requests urgent legal advice and intervention. After 3.5 years of ongoing harassment by the Department of Social Development (DSD) in Grand Turk, and a sustained refusal to issue a legally required report, she is calling on the highest legal authority to enforce compliance with the law.

⚖️ I. The Legal Breach

Turks and Caicos law — specifically the Children (Care and Protection) Ordinance, 2015, Section 17(6) — states that a report must be provided to:

  • The parent of the child, and

  • The child, if 12 or older and capable of understanding

Unless there is a clear danger or pending criminal investigation — neither of which applies in her case.

And yet:

No report has ever been provided.
No legal justification has been given.

🧸 II. The Harm Documented

  • The case began with bias against homeschooling, despite approval from Mark Garland in 2017

  • Her children experienced:

    • Sexual abuse by a doctor at the National Hospital

    • Emotional and psychological harm from repeated unjustified inquiries

  • Communications with Ashley Adams-Forbes have gone unanswered

  • A complaint to the Complaints Commissioner was also ignored

🧑‍⚖️ III. What She Asked the Attorney General

  • Legal advice on how to compel DSD to comply with statutory law

  • Action from the AG to enforce Section 17(6)

  • Oversight to halt the prolonged harassment

SWANK Summary:

She followed the law.
They followed her.
And now — she’s asking the Attorney General
to follow through.

Labels: unlawful investigation, homeschool discrimination, safeguarding weaponisation, legal rights violation, DSD misconduct, no investigation report, AG intervention request, child trauma, doctor abuse, complaint unanswered
