“A week, you said. It’s been thirteen days.”
— A Mother Counting Silence as Evidence
Dearest Viewer of Dysfunctional Timelines,
On 20 July 2020, Ashley Adams-Forbes, Deputy Director of the Department of Social Development, wrote the following words to Noelle Bonneannée:
“Please give me a week to provide you with an official letter.”
Noelle, as ever, was generous in patience — but today, on 3 August 2020, she followed up. Not with anger. With precision.
📅 I. What Was Promised
A letter.
An official response.
Reports regarding her children’s ongoing cases.
A formal engagement with a detailed timeline she herself had compiled — graciously, professionally.
📭 II. What Was Delivered
Nothing.
Thirteen days of silence.
Thirteen days in which Ashley Adams-Forbes simply did not honour her own commitment.
And this from an office allegedly devoted to the well-being of children.
📌 III. What the Silence Says
When a government department asks for a week and delivers nothing in thirteen days, it is not a delay.
It is a message.
And the message is this:
We do not take your concerns seriously.
We do not believe we are accountable to you.
We do not care that you are still waiting.
🖋️ Final Note from Noelle:
“I want my concerns to be taken seriously; however, my concerns seem to be continuously ignored.”
SWANK has taken note.
The archive remembers what they hoped to forget.
