“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

🪞 SWANK Addendum
A Personal Statement of Position by Polly Chromatic

1-Line Summary: A velvet rebuke of institutional cruelty, filed with composure sharper than the misconduct it archives.

I. The Statement of Position

Let the Court be advised:

I am not grateful for this experience.
But I am very skilled at documenting it.

While the misconduct of Westminster Children’s Services has gifted me a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase institutional cruelty in a footnoted anthology of legal horror — it did so at the cost of my children’s joy, health, and security.

And I do not consider that an acceptable trade.

My children — who were thriving, laughing, learning, and living in rhythm with both their academic routines and their medical needs — have been dismantled in the name of a safeguarding narrative built not on evidence, but on aesthetic projection and bureaucratic ego.

I have archived every email, every contradiction, and every procedural betrayal.
But what I cannot retrieve — and what no exhibit can resurrect — is the quiet, joyful time my children lost under the weight of state delusion.

I have a lot more documentation ... in the thousands.  If I post 100 a day it will take a year to post it all.

I'm the only one documenting the ignorance and pure waste of money and time that we call social work.

Thank you for the opportunity. I study systems. I'm researching them right back and doing it better than they are.  

Don't worry.  I'm not going away and no one can outlast me because I have clarity, something Westminster clearly doesn't have.  

II. A Formal Request to the Court

I do not plead.
I file.

I ask the Court to recognise the following, not as sentiment but as structural truth:

  • That my children were harmed by process, not protected by it.

  • That retaliation has replaced reasoning in many of the decisions imposed on our family.

  • That my integrity under pressure should not be reframed as resistance — it is resilience, and it is legally admissible.

This ordeal made me stronger.
But strength was not the point.
My children’s peace was.

And they deserved better than to become case notes in a safeguarding drama with no script and no author — only actors, all miscast.
