I. What Happened

On the night of 2 November 2023, Polly Chromatic presented at St Thomas’ Hospital with severe eosinophilic asthma. Dizzy and unable to stand from oxygen deprivation, she accidentally stepped on someone’s foot while reaching a seat.

A woman in the waiting room launched into verbal abuse — racial, public, and aggressive. Polly, trying to hear the nurse, asked the woman to stop.

She was then moved calmly to another room by hospital staff.
The event was caught on CCTV.

The next day, Polly filed a formal police report: verbal assault, racially charged, triggered by a medical emergency.

She identified the suspect. She requested CCTV be reviewed.
She described what happened, what could be seen, and what couldn’t be denied.

But nothing came of it.
Instead — she became the subject of a safeguarding referral alleging she had attacked someone else.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

• Verbal abuse against a disabled mother during medical crisis

• No de-escalation or staff intervention in the moment

• Police report filed — and ignored

• Hospital never investigated or submitted CCTV footage

• The victim was recast as the aggressor by later social work teams

• The original report was buried in favour of a narrative that facilitated child removal and psychiatric review

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is how state lies begin:
With the erasure of first-hand reports and the inversion of credibility.
Because when a woman says: “I was attacked in public, while breathless, and my daughter saw everything”, the response should not be: “Let’s refer you to safeguarding.”

This police report is not just a form. It is a contested origin point.
The narrative reversal that follows can be traced back to this moment:
A breathless woman, filing a report —
Only to become the accused.

SWANK archives it to remind every authority involved:
We did tell you the truth. You just refused to read it.

IV. Violations

• Article 3, ECHR – Protection from degrading treatment

• Article 6, ECHR – Right to a fair investigation

• Article 8, ECHR – Respect for family life (daughter witnessed abuse)

• Equality Act 2010 – Failure to protect a disabled woman from discrimination

• Police Code of Ethics – Failure to follow up on a report from a vulnerable person

• NHS Duty of Candour – No acknowledgment or corrective communication from the hospital

V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t a complaint. It was a plea for protection — filed while breathless, traumatised, and trying to keep her daughter safe.

We reject the erasure of disability and race in public abuse cases.
We reject the failure to review CCTV because doing so would vindicate the mother.
And we reject any safeguarding structure built atop a lie they were too lazy — or too biased — to disprove.

The hospital saw the abuse. The police were told. The state rewrote the victim.
We will correct the record, line by line.
