“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

Recently Tried in the Court of Public Opinion

Chromatic v Westminster (Blame-Shifting; Harassment; Article 8 Breach; Welfare Principle Subverted)


ADDENDUM: BLAME-SHIFTING IN RESPONSE TO HARASSMENT

A Mirror Court Indictment of Institutional Cowardice and Narrative Inversion

Metadata

I. What Happened

For over a decade, harassment by professionals, neighbours, and men was met not with protection but with blame. False reports were indulged; misconduct reframed as maternal fault. In one egregious case at Virgin Active, a man attempted to punch me — and I was banned. Aggression rewarded, victimhood punished.

II. What the Addendum Establishes

Professional Hostility
Safeguarding powers misused, reports inverted.

Neighbour Surveillance
False reports weaponised; complaints reframed as pathology.

Male Entitlement
Men treated my home as theirs to invade or claim. At Virgin Active, attempted assault led to my exclusion, not his.

Institutional Response
Reports consistently reframed as “conflict”; complaints weaponised against me.

III. Consequences

  • Reports silenced, perpetrators emboldened.

  • Trauma compounded; social isolation engineered.

  • Children harmed: friendships lost, trust in authority fractured, stigma internalised.

  • Safeguarding record corrupted by inverted narratives.

IV. Legal and Doctrinal Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – s.1 welfare principle breached; s.22 consultation duty ignored.

  • Equality Act 2010 – s.149 Public Sector Equality Duty disregarded.

  • ECHR – Article 6 fair trial undermined; Article 8 family life interfered with.

  • UNCRC – Articles 3 and 12 breached (best interests and right to be heard).

  • Case Law – Re B-S (2013) (proportionality and evidence-based reasoning ignored); A v UK (1998) (failure to protect under Article 8).

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not safeguarding. It is institutional cowardice — harassment rewarded, victimhood criminalised, children harmed. The Mirror Court finds that Westminster and its proxies inverted law into liability, narrative into weapon.

Closing Declaration

The Mirror Court declares: when a woman reports harassment, Westminster responds with retaliation. When men act entitled, institutions indulge them. When the mother defends her home, her voice is reframed as pathology. Protection inverted into punishment is hereby archived.
