Summary: Chronological correspondence evidencing prolonged administrative intrusion, medical disregard, and systemic harassment of a disabled parent under colour of child-protection oversight.

I. What Happened

• From 2016 to 2020, the Department of Social Development conducted repeated home inspections, summonses, and unsolicited visits to the home of Polly Chromatic, a U.S. citizen residing in Grand Turk, and her four children.
• Despite full co-operation and evidence of homeschool registration under the Education Ordinance (2009), investigations continued without articulated grounds or lawful purpose.
• The parent provided a timeline to Deputy Director Ashley Adams-Forbes, detailing constant inquiries into income, qualifications, and family life — none resulting in findings of neglect or abuse.
• On 30 June 2020, she formally declared her status as a clinically extremely vulnerable person with severe eosinophilic asthma, supported by medical records from the Royal Brompton Hospital (U.K.).
• The response from the Department was courteous in tone but void of remedy — an apology without redress, a rapport without compliance.

II. What the Document Establishes

• Evidence of prolonged and unfounded state surveillance against a disabled mother.
• Proof of medical disregard — the failure to respect respiratory and immunological vulnerability during a global pandemic.
• Demonstration of gendered and colonial administrative tone: authority couched as care, intrusion as interest.
• Chronological corroboration for later equality and safeguarding litigation in U.K. forums.
• Precedent material illustrating how “partnership with parents” functions as a polite synonym for coerced submission.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

• Legal relevance: establishes continuity between medical disability and procedural retaliation across jurisdictions.
• Educational precedent: case study in administrative gaslighting — the invitation to trust after years of violation.
• Historical preservation: records the moment when pandemic science met colonial social work and neither yielded.
• Pattern recognition: links TCI safeguarding culture to subsequent U.K. failures under the Equality Act 2010 and Human Rights Act 1998.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Children (Care and Protection) Ordinance 2015 s. 17(6) — failure to provide investigation reports to parent.
• Education Ordinance 2009 ss. 44 & 54 — failure to respect lawful homeschool arrangements.
• UN CRPD Articles 7, 17 & 25 — protection of children and persons with disabilities from discrimination in family life and health.
• ECHR Article 8 — unlawful interference with private and family life.
• Equality Act 2010 s. 26 — harassment related to disability.

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not “child protection.”
This is colonial monitoring rebranded as care.

• We do not accept the Department’s narrative of benevolent oversight.
• We reject the notion that repeated intrusion is a form of support.
• We will document every instance where administrative interest disguised itself as concern.
