“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 Letter They Called Support. The Threat We Filed.

I. Digital Coercion: Act I

This is the email that threatened to take four children to court.

Sent by Kirsty Hornal, Senior Practitioner at Westminster Children’s Services, at 11:14 AM on 29 May 2025, this message arrived not in response to any event, meeting, or risk — but in retaliation for formal complaints, civil litigation, and medical disclosure.

There was:

  • No safeguarding trigger

  • No multi-agency discussion

  • No updated risk assessment

  • No compliance with disability adjustments

There was only a Letter of Intent to Initiate Proceedings — as an attachment.

II. What They Called “Support”

The email declares that Westminster intends to seek a Supervision Order.
It invokes “support and further assessment” while simultaneously implying parental unfitness — without context or justification.

“Please do take the letter of intent to a solicitor for advice.”
— Translation: We escalated. You’re on your own.

III. Why This Matters

This is not a safeguarding action.
It is procedural theatre designed to intimidate a disabled mother — and it was delivered via email, not meeting, not mediation, not ethics.

What makes it remarkable is not its legality (it has none).
It is the tone of soft-formal menace: pastel formatting paired with litigation threat.

It exemplifies the practice of:

  • Delivering escalation by PDF

  • Dodging accountability by calling it “liaison”

  • Invoking child welfare to pressure an already targeted parent mid-litigation

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not confuse formality with lawfulness.
We do not interpret professional signature blocks as ethical conduct.

This email now forms part of SWANK’s Digital Coercion Series — an evidentiary library documenting how institutions weaponise correspondence.

The letter was supposed to frighten us.
We published it instead.
