⟡ “A Rash of Reports, A Scar of Logic”: The Case of Polly Chromatic and the Fictional Care Plan of Turks and Caicos ⟡
An Institutional Narrative Full of Holes, Half-Truths, and Habitual Relocations
Filed: 9 November 2020
Reference Code: TCI-SOCIAL-NARRATIVE-2020-CAREPLANFABRICATION
Court File Name: 2020-11-09_SafeguardingDisclosureNarrative_SmithJoseph_TCISocialDevelopment.pdf
Summary: A safeguarding disclosure composed by the Turks and Caicos Department of Social Development, which documents a three-year pursuit of Polly Chromatic’s family — not with evidence, but with guesses, gaps, and ghost plans.
I. What Happened
This “narrative” was issued by the Department of Social Development in response to a formal legal request. It seeks to explain their long-standing surveillance of Polly Chromatic and her four children.
Here’s what it actually reveals:
A safeguarding process initiated in May 2017, based on an anonymous report alleging “many occasions of physical abuse” — no evidence provided.
The social worker promptly lost the family and could not follow up.
In May 2018, another report claimed the children were seen outside during school hours. The family was again unlocatable.
In August 2019, yet another report alleged poor hygiene and drug use. A rash and a bandage on Romeo’s face were noted. No medical emergency was declared.
The children were examined by a doctor who determined they were “in good health.”
Despite this, a Care Plan was drafted — without explanation or documentation — and presented as if Polly had agreed to it.
In March 2020, just before the COVID lockdown, the Department conducted a “final visit” to assess her “capacity to parent,” citing vague “mental health challenges” with no basis provided.
II. What the Narrative Establishes
That the Department admits it lost track of the family multiple times, and that their own safeguarding attempt was incomplete and unsupported by documentation.
That the Care Plan supposedly created in August 2019 was never actually shown to or signed by Polly Chromatic.
That allegations of neglect were consistently contradicted by medical evaluations stating the children were “in good health.”
That consent for the invasive 2017 medical exam was not recorded, and remains unverified — a serious procedural breach.
That the Department consistently relied on community hearsay and ambiguous physical descriptions to sustain years of child welfare intrusion.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because safeguarding should not resemble a tabloid mystery wrapped in public sector jargon.
Because a Care Plan without disclosure is not a plan — it is a punitive presumption in bureaucratic costume.
Because “seen outside during school hours” is not abuse. It is recess — or, in Polly’s case, homeschooling.
Because no mother should be followed by a file that cannot locate her but continues to speak on her behalf.
IV. Violations
Turks and Caicos Children (Care and Protection) Ordinance 2015 – Misuse of Section 17(4) to justify retroactive interference
Constitutional Fairness & Right to Know Allegations – Repeatedly denied
Consent Procedures – Breached and unrecorded
Medical Misuse – Weaponisation of benign rashes and unverified injuries
Safeguarding Standards – Informal, undocumented, and aggressively vague
V. SWANK’s Position
This disclosure is a textbook example of narrative without record, and concern without law.
It admits more than it protects:
That Polly Chromatic was surveilled based on anonymous reports and aesthetics.
That consent was assumed, not recorded.
That rash, dirt, and bandages — all medically benign — were spun into a chronic suspicion loop.
This is not safeguarding.
This is data-free conjecture elevated to state record.
The narrative closes by claiming the investigation is “ongoing.”
We would ask: into what?
