Summary: The children, once secure in their mother’s care, are now found wandering outside under Local Authority placement — not by choice, but by misery.

---

I. What Happened

Rather than the promised protection, Westminster’s placement regime has reduced four U.S. citizen children to the indignity of spending their evenings on the street. This conduct does not reflect adolescent freedom, but the unmistakable symptom of unhappiness within placements that fail to offer comfort or security.

---

II. What the Addendum Establishes

• Children formerly safe, stable, and engaged in structured home-based learning are now compelled to idle outside until arbitrary hours.

• Their so-called “placements” have become so intolerable that they choose pavement over living-room, night air over safe bed.

• The contrast with their mother’s care — where education, safety, and routine were assured — could not be sharper.

---

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because safeguarding is not synonymous with exile, and protection cannot mean the inversion of welfare. What is documented here is the bureaucratic equivalent of abandonment: the children are out in the cold because those tasked with their care have made their placements uninhabitable.

---

IV. Violations

• Children Act 1989, s.22(3)(a): Duty to safeguard and promote welfare — trampled beneath arbitrary restrictions.

• Equality Act 2010: Failure to account for medical vulnerability.

• Article 8 ECHR: Family life fractured and dignity stripped.

• Article 3 ECHR: Degrading treatment in its most literal sense — children on the street.

• Bromley’s Family Law (11th Ed., p.640): Misuse of safeguarding powers as coercion, not protection.

---

V. SWANK’s Position

What the Local Authority presents as “placement” is in fact a revolving door to the pavement. The children are not difficult; the placements are deficient. Their visible unhappiness is proof enough. The streets are not a substitute for family, nor is wandering a pedagogy.
