Summary: Westminster’s case rests on one social worker’s fixation, institutionalised into record and persecution.
I. What Happened
The proceedings against the Director and her four U.S. citizen children did not originate in verified evidence but in the personal obsession of social worker Kirsty Hornal. Her fixation coloured reports, shaped hearings, and drove disproportionate restrictions. Rather than investigate lawfully and impartially, Westminster adopted her personal narrative as institutional record.
II. What the Document Establishes
Projection, not protection: Allegations rested on Hornal’s preoccupation, not the children’s lived reality.
Institutional capture: Westminster Children’s Services adopted her fixation wholesale.
Disproportionate harm: Four children subjected to removals, restrictions, and surveillance born of fixation rather than necessity.
Bias and Discrimination: Allegations mirrored stereotypes historically projected onto white mothers with Black partners or mixed-heritage children — gendered and racialised prejudice as procedure.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Legal relevance: Fixation substituted for evidence, tainting statutory duties.
Pattern recognition: Mirrors earlier addenda on Misogyny, Imagination, and Cultural Reductionism.
Historical preservation: Records obsession as misconduct codified into authority.
Doctrinal force: Establishes “Obsession as Safeguarding” as a Mirror Court principle.
IV. Applicable Standards & Violations
Children Act 1989, ss.1 & 47 – welfare principle and investigative duties ignored.
Equality Act 2010, s.149 – Public Sector Equality Duty breached; reliance on stereotypes.
Social Work England Professional Standards – obligation to base assessments on evidence violated.
ECHR, Articles 6, 8, 14 – fair trial, family life, and non-discrimination compromised.
UNCRC, Articles 2 & 30 – discrimination and identity rights of children undermined.
Case Law:
Re H and R (1996) AC 563 – suspicion cannot replace evidence.
Re L (2007) 1 FLR 2050 – threshold for removal must be proven.
Re B-S (2013) EWCA Civ 1146 – removal must be proportionate and evidence-based.
Re G (2003) EWCA Civ 489 – fairness requires accurate representation.
V. SWANK’s Position
This is not safeguarding.
This is fixation enthroned as authority.
SWANK does not accept obsession in place of evidence.
SWANK rejects projection as lawful foundation.
SWANK records Hornal’s compulsion as the true origin of Westminster’s case — persecution institutionalised.
When safeguarding collapses into fixation, it ceases to be protection and becomes persecution.
