“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

⟡ THE RETALIATORY MYTH OF PARENTING ⟡

Summary: Parenting has been framed as punishment masquerading as love; Mirror Court exposes it as fear in costume.

I. What Happened

The history of parenting is not a story of nurture but of intimidation canonised as care. Cultures wrapped retaliation in the language of “discipline,” normalising cruelty as tradition. What was labelled “responsibility” was, in truth, the generational bequeathing of fear.

II. What the Document Establishes

• That “discipline” is often code for punishment, conditional affection, and shame.
• That fear has been marketed as obedience, obedience as virtue.
• That institutions — schools, courts, safeguarding regimes — have enshrined intimidation as the standard of “good parenting.”
• That retaliation is the myth still masquerading as wisdom.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the safeguarding state continues to recycle this myth, wielding punitive parenting as both ideal and cudgel. SWANK archives this doctrine to fracture the narrative: to show that punishment breeds fear, not strength; that retaliation produces compliance, not confidence.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Article 19 UNCRC — protection from all forms of physical or mental violence.
• Article 12 UNCRC — the child’s voice subverted under the guise of discipline.
• ECHR Article 8 — family life disrupted by conditional love masquerading as care.

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not discipline.
This is domesticated retaliation.

  • We do not accept obedience extracted by fear.

  • We reject conditional love as a parental tool.

  • We affirm reflection as the solvent of retaliation.

The Mirror Court asserts: to punish is to shrink the child; to reflect is to expand them. Parenting without retaliation restores love as unconditional and growth as fearless.
