“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

Chromatic (Polly) v Westminster – On the Intellectual Miscalculation of Four Minor Citizens and Their Mother’s Legal Vocabulary



❖ Sorry, Westminster — My Children Are Too Smart for You

A Legal-Aesthetic Dispatch from the Mirror Court

Reference Code: SWANK-PST-WESTSMART
Court File Name: 2025-07-17_SWANK_Post_WestminsterChildrenTooSmart.pdf
Filed by: Polly Chromatic
Summary: My children were not raised to obey suppression. They were raised to question it.


I. What Happened

After forcibly removing my four U.S. citizen children under an Emergency Protection Order, Westminster Children’s Services imposed surveillance, suppression, and censorship — assuming they had captured four docile subjects. What they did not anticipate was that these children had been home educated to think, not to obey.

Regal (16) asks legal questions they cannot answer.
Prerogative (13) quotes his own rights aloud.
Kingdom (10) knows this is wrong.
Heir (8) looks around and wonders why the adults are behaving so poorly.

Westminster social workers may have assumed they were dealing with compliant children raised by a disoriented mother. What they found instead was a home of intellect, conviction, compassion, and reason — interrupted by bureaucracy too mediocre to understand it.


II. What This Post Establishes

This is not just about a policy disagreement. It is about misjudging brilliance as threat, and agency as disorder.
Westminster did not protect my children — they punished them for being confident, expressive, and curious. They have confused parental love with noncompliance, and confused legal structure with lawful authority. They mistake control for care.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the assumption that children must submit to arbitrary restrictions — and that mothers must stay silent — is the very foundation of every safeguarding failure we are now dismantling.

Because social workers who cannot answer questions invent control instead.

Because my children have rights, and they have the vocabulary to name them.


IV. Violations Documented

  • UNCRC Article 12: Failure to give weight to children’s views

  • Article 8 ECHR: Interference with family life

  • Article 2, Protocol 1 ECHR: Denial of meaningful education

  • Gillick Competence: Ignoring Romeo’s legal capacity to engage


V. SWANK’s Position

Westminster, you are not failing because you lack power — you are failing because you underestimated mine. And worse, you underestimated my children.

They are more intelligent, aware, compassionate, and legally grounded than the structure you are attempting to contain them in.

Your mistake was thinking they would forget.
They won’t.
Neither will I.
