“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 mother’s formal statement to her children, sworn into the Family Court record after a forced police removal.

I. What Happened

On 23 June 2025, four disabled U.S.–UK children were removed by force from their home. No legal order was served. No warning was given. Five police officers entered while the mother, Polly Chromatic, was in her bedroom. The children were playing. Within minutes, they were gone.

This document was written not to the court, but through it — addressed directly to those children.

II. What the Statement Establishes

  • That the removal was procedurally unserved and emotionally violent

  • That the children were not permitted to bring basic medical items or belongings

  • That the mother, while traumatised and ambushed, responded by documenting rather than collapsing

  • That the truth has been written down for the children to find, archived forever

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the Family Court rarely lets children speak — and almost never lets mothers speak in future tense.
This statement ensures that if the system cannot return them swiftly, at least the system must carry the weight of their names, their belongings, their inhalers, their story. It is an evidentiary act of love, not loss.

IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, S.22 – Failure to account for identity, placement trauma, and familial continuity

  • ECHR Article 8 – Right to family life and correspondence, denied without notice or access

  • UN Convention on the Rights of the Child – Articles 7, 9, and 13 breached by information deprivation and sudden separation

V. SWANK’s Position

This statement enters the legal archive not as a plea — but as a prelude.
A record that no matter how long they are gone, the children will find not silence, but recorded memory, documented love, and a mother who archived every injustice in their name.

If they were taken by force, let this be what meets them when they return:
Not a redacted file — but a witnessed truth.
Not an apology — but a declaration.
