Summary: A chronicle of colonial misconduct disguised as concern — the persecution of lawful homeschooling framed as “protection.”

---

I. What Happened

During her residency in the Turks and Caicos Islands, the mother — already navigating disability and post-traumatic stress — was subjected to repeated intrusions by state agents posing as social workers.
Her decision to homeschool, supported by evidence of medical necessity and educational competence, was recast as “non-compliance.”
The harassment escalated: unannounced visits, coercive threats, and bureaucratic sermons about “standards” delivered by officials who could scarcely spell “education.”

The events, later mirrored by Westminster and RBKC, form part of an international continuum of procedural colonialism — where motherhood is mistaken for mutiny.

II. What the Document Establishes

• That “safeguarding” has become the administrative theatre of empire — all pomp, no pedagogy.
• That lawful home education was falsely reinterpreted as neglect to justify intervention.
• That disability, single motherhood, and intellectual independence trigger institutional hostility in equal measure.
• That Westminster and its overseas mirrors share a cultural addiction to control dressed as care.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is not a local misunderstanding; it is a cartographic one — the British state extending its reach into private life under the alibi of concern.
The file demonstrates how bureaucrats colonise domestic space with the same entitlement their predecessors used on actual land.
SWANK preserves this not merely as evidence, but as anthropology: an exhibit in the Museum of Administrative Arrogance.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Education Act (Turks and Caicos) — breached by state interference in lawful home education.
• Equality Act 2010 — disability-based discrimination in both medical and educational contexts.
• Human Rights Act 1998, Art. 8 — unlawful interference with family life.
• UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Art. 29 — right to education consistent with parental conviction.
• Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, Art. 36 — ignored entirely, because who reads treaties in paradise?

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not “child protection.”
This is administrative voyeurism wearing SPF 50.

We do not accept that state intrusion equals welfare.
We reject the imperial reflex to equate motherhood with madness.
We will document every imported failure of governance until bureaucratic paternalism drowns in its own paperwork.

Because evidence deserves elegance.
