“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.

R (Chromatic) v. The Case That Wasn’t Managed [2025] SWANK 36 What the CMH will hear — is what the children lived.



⟡ Statement of Position for Case Management Hearing, July 2025 ⟡
Chromatic v. The Nine Days of Silence [2025] SWANK 36 — “The system paused. The children did not.”

Filed: 2 July 2025
Reference: SWANK/FAMILYCOURT/CMH-POSITION-01

Filed ahead of the July CMH; documents emotional deterioration, medical neglect, and obstruction of contact since 23 June.


I. What Happened
On 2 July 2025, Polly Chromatic, acting as litigant-in-person, filed a Statement of Position with the Central Family Court in preparation for the upcoming Case Management Hearing scheduled for July 2025. The filing documents:

  • Nine consecutive days of contact denial following the EPO on 23 June

  • Cancellation of asthma-related medical care without consultation

  • Visible emotional collapse observed during first permitted contact on 2 July — especially in the youngest child

  • No information on medication status, placements, schooling, or emotional support for the children

  • Repeated obstruction of lawful contact and disregard for judicial expectations set at removal

This submission does not request sympathy. It demands jurisdictional recalibration.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Children with chronic health conditions were subjected to an unbroken period of institutional isolation

  • Medical treatment plans were unilaterally cancelled, breaching both continuity of care and duty of consultation

  • Contact has been systemically suppressed, disguised as administrative backlog

  • Emotional trauma is no longer speculative — it is visible, recorded, and escalating

  • Nine days of silence in response to a care order constitutes not protection, but abandonment by design


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because nine days without contact is not an administrative delay. It is harm.
Because cancelling asthma care is not a clerical error. It is medical negligence under procedural cover.
Because a system that removes children in one day and says nothing for nine is not broken. It is functioning exactly as built.
Because the youngest child is visibly collapsing — and no one in uniform seems to think that matters.
And because SWANK is not submitting a position. SWANK is submitting a correction to the record.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, §§22 & 34 – Duty to maintain contact and medical continuity

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 3 & 8 – Protection from degrading treatment; right to family life

  • UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Articles 9, 24 – Right to parental contact and access to healthcare

  • Equality Act 2010, §149 – Failure to prevent indirect discrimination against disabled parent and asthmatic children

  • Care Planning Regulations 2010 – Breakdown in placement review, parental communication, and contact integrity


V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t a procedural delay. It was systemic muting of a family in crisis.
We do not accept “case preparation” as an excuse for nine days of vanishing.
We do not accept contact that arrives only when the parent begs.
We do not accept the repackaging of silence as case management.
This case will be managed — but not by those who erased nine days from the record.
This filing is not a plea. It is an evidentiary landmark.

Chromatic v. WCC (Compliance by Constraint) [2025] SWANK 34 When clinical necessity becomes the only negotiator.



⟡ Confirmation of Video Contact: Friday 4 July, 3:00 PM – Conditions Reasserted ⟡
Chromatic v. The Calendar of Pretend Neutrality [2025] SWANK 34 — “I confirmed attendance. Not complicity.”

Filed: 2 July 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/CONTACT-CONDITIONS-CONSENT
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-07-02_ZC25C50281_Confirmation_Friday_3PM_Video_Contact.pdf
Contact confirmation filed with explicit refusal of verbal engagement with named professionals due to psychiatric harm.


I. What Happened
On 2 July 2025 at 22:25, Polly Chromatic confirmed her attendance for a video contact session scheduled for Friday 4 July at 3:00 PM, in relation to Case XXXXXXXX. The message, sent to Westminster Children’s Services, affirmed her presence without waiving legal rights or boundaries. The correspondence included a precise reiteration:

  • Contact is accepted for the children’s wellbeing

  • Verbal interaction with Samuel Brown, Kirsty Hornal, or associated professionals is medically contraindicatedand remains formally objected to

  • A calm, safe, and procedurally neutral contact environment must be ensured

This was not acquiescence. It was conditional participation. Logged and archived.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Attendance is being offered under clinical constraint, not procedural compliance

  • Contact sessions are scheduled reactively, not strategically or supportively

  • Professionals causing documented psychiatric harm continue to hover as gatekeepers

  • Requests for non-verbal engagement remain unacknowledged in substance, if not tone

  • The parent must affirm her own dignity in every calendar reply — because the institution will not


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because contact isn’t a favour to the parent — it’s a legal structure owed to the child.
Because confirming a meeting doesn’t equal consenting to the architecture behind it.
Because disability is not a negotiation tactic. It is a threshold.
Because professionals cannot claim neutrality while refusing to vacate roles they know are harmful.
And because every meeting entered under protest is logged in full. With footnotes.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010, §20 – Ongoing refusal to implement necessary adjustments

  • HRA 1998, Art. 8 – Contact delivered under psychological coercion

  • Children Act 1989, §34 – Contact must promote welfare, not replicate trauma

  • Care Planning, Placement and Case Review Regulations 2010 – Inadequate trauma-informed design

  • NICE Guidelines (NG26) – Non-compliance with recommendations for PTSD-related professional contact boundaries


V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t compliance. It was clinical constraint, consented to under duress.
We do not accept meetings scheduled with triggers built in.
We do not accept institutional presence dressed up as professionalism.
We do not accept contact where the parent must defend her own medical report every week.
Polly Chromatic will attend — but the archive will attend louder.

Re Contact (Token Compliance and Delayed Execution) [2025] SWANK 32 When statutory access was treated like a scheduling favour.



⟡ Virtual Contact Session: Post-EPO Access Obstruction & Institutional Soft-Footing ⟡
Chromatic v. The Calendar That Forgot the Court Order [2025] SWANK 32 — “They scheduled chaos. We logged clarity.”

Filed: 2 July 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/CONTACT-SUPPRESSION
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-07-02_RE_Virtual_Contact_2_July_2025_10am.pdf
Institutional correspondence confirming limited contact, failure to consult on scheduling, and soft procedural deflection post-EPO.


I. What Happened
On 2 July 2025, Polly Chromatic, litigant-in-person and mother of four, received correspondence from Samuel Brown, Deputy Service Manager at Westminster Children’s Services. The email confirmed a virtual contact session at 10:00am, but only after the time was unilaterally chosen without any consultation regarding her availability. Polly Chromatic confirmed she would attend — explicitly noting that this did not constitute a waiver of legal rights.

The session occurred under difficult emotional conditions, with technical issues logged, and a duration arbitrarily capped at 30 minutes — despite more than a week of denied contact and the court’s direction for two supervised sessions per week. Subsequent attempts to normalise this limited access were met with institutional tone-softening and no acknowledgement of prior procedural breach.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Contact was arranged reactively, not in compliance with legal direction.

  • The parent was not consulted before scheduling — a recurring procedural failure.

  • Session length and conditions failed to meet the urgency and emotional needs of the children.

  • Social workers positioned the session as a generous concession rather than a statutory obligation.

  • Contact planning remains arbitrarily controlled, with no meaningful accommodation of medical, legal, or emotional factors.


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because when the court orders twice-weekly contact and none is provided for eight days, you are no longer managing risk — you are manufacturing it.
Because procedural courtesy does not erase structural delay.
Because every “soft” email is a hard-edged denial.
Because contact is not kindness. It is compliance.
And because SWANK does not negotiate rights. It logs who thought they were optional.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, §34 – Duty to promote regular contact between parent and child

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Art. 8 – Right to family life

  • Equality Act 2010, §149 – Failure to give due regard to protected characteristics and access barriers

  • Family Procedure Rules, Pt. 12B – Disregard for contact framework post-care order

  • Judicial Direction, Case No: ZC25C50281 – Non-compliance with supervised contact mandate


V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t contact. It was containment.
We do not accept unilateral scheduling disguised as coordination.
We do not accept 30-minute boxes as compensation for a week of silence.
We do not accept institutions mistaking procedure for permission.
She showed up because the law said so. They treated it like a calendar courtesy.

Re Access (Medication, Devices, and Emotional Stability) [2025] SWANK 37 They removed the children and left their prescriptions behind.



⟡ Urgent Request for Contact, Medical Access & Personal Devices – Case ZCXXXXXX ⟡
Chromatic v. The Bureaucracy That Forgot the Children Had Lungs [2025] SWANK 37 — “You took the children. You do not get to take the inhalers too.”

Filed: 1 July 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/ZCXXXXXXXX/EMERGENCY-DELIVERY
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-07-01_ZCXXXXXXXX_Urgent_Request_Contact_Medication_Delivery_Personal_Devices.pdf
Formal request for immediate contact, asthma medication access, and return of essential personal devices post-EPO.


I. What Happened
On 1 July 2025, Polly Chromatic issued an urgent formal request to Westminster Children’s Services, seeking immediate arrangements for:

  1. Direct video or phone contact with her four children

  2. Delivery of essential asthma medications and medical supplies

  3. Retrieval of the children’s personal devices — including iPads and iPhones — to restore communication, learning, and emotional stability

This request followed the Emergency Protection Order of 23 June and documented rising concern over medical noncompliance and severance of child-parent communication. A neutral third party was requested to facilitate the arrangements due to the known triggering nature of continued contact with named officers.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Children with chronic medical needs were removed with no continuity-of-care plan in place

  • Emotional contact has been obstructed without lawful justification or proportionality

  • Basic therapeutic tools (devices, photos, comfort items) have been withheld

  • Requests have been procedurally delayed while the children’s psychological and respiratory stability worsens

  • Professionals continue to insert themselves into mediation despite documented psychiatric objections


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because in 2025, children should not have to wait three working days for a rescue inhaler.
Because institutional pride is not a sufficient reason to obstruct maternal contact.
Because iPads are not luxury items — they are neurological stabilisers in digital form.
Because children are not safer without their medication, without their mother, and without a phone.
And because the inhalers, the calls, and the devices are not accessories — they are safeguards you confiscated.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, §§22, 34 – Obligation to safeguard medical continuity and facilitate contact

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Art. 8 – Right to maintain family connection and health-related access

  • Equality Act 2010, §20 – Failure to accommodate parental disability in procedural design

  • NICE Guidelines (NG80, NG26) – Neglect of emergency asthma protocols in children under care

  • UNCRC, Articles 9, 24 – Denial of contact and healthcare continuity for minors under state protection


V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t just removal. It was de-equipping children of survival tools.
We do not accept a care framework that cancels asthma care without consultation.
We do not accept state custody becoming a black box of silence and lost belongings.
We do not accept contact that must be begged for in triplicate.
The medication is overdue. The contact is overdue. The decency is long expired.
SWANK has filed. Westminster has three days. After that, the archive escalates.

Re Four Children (Medical Risk, Cultural Erasure, and Contact Denial) [2025] SWANK 35 The transition from safeguarding to sanctioned harm.



⟡ Formal Record of Harm: Unlawful Isolation, Medical Endangerment & Procedural Cruelty ⟡
Chromatic v. The Architecture of Disconnection [2025] SWANK 35 — “This isn’t safeguarding. It’s engineered silence.”

Filed: 2 July 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/ZC25C50281/RECORD-OF-HARM
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-07-02_Statement_of_Harm_Contact_and_Medical_Breach_ZC25C50281.pdf
Comprehensive statement on denial of contact, cancellation of asthma care, and isolation of four U.S. citizen minors under care.


I. What Happened
On 2 July 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a formal legal record detailing the unlawful conditions her four children have endured since their removal on 23 June. The record includes:

  • Cancellation of asthma treatment appointments at Hammersmith Hospital without consultation

  • Absence of prescriptions or supervision protocols for children with chronic asthma

  • Complete severance from familial, cultural, educational, and emotional anchors

  • Withheld letters, unreturned belongings, blocked correspondence, and no address provided for comfort items

  • One week of total contact denial, despite a court-ordered minimum of two sessions per week

What had been a life of movement, joy, and relational stability was replaced with isolationconfusion, and documented medical risk.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • There has been a clear breach of medical duty to children with complex health needs.

  • Contact denial has caused active emotional deterioration, psychological distress, and cultural dislocation.

  • Public officials have overridden continuity of care without justification — and without documentation.

  • The children’s rights as U.S. citizens, as asthmatic patients, and as subjects of judicial protection are actively being ignored.

  • “Safeguarding” has become the pretext through which disconnection and harm are being delivered with bureaucratic elegance.


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because what has been inflicted here is not removal. It is deletion.
Because children should not be punished for procedural panic or reputational cleanup.
Because asthma is not a narrative — it is a condition with inhalers, triggers, and protocols.
Because four children had their care systems dismantled in a week — without anyone calling that “harm.”
Because a safeguarding framework that erases family life is not lawful. It is performative abuse.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, §§22, 10 – Duty to maintain continuity and involve parents in health and care

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 3, 6, 8 – Protection from degrading treatment, family life, and due process

  • UNCRC, Articles 3, 9, 24 – Best interests of the child, right to contact with parents, highest attainable health

  • Equality Act 2010, §149 – Failure to consider protected characteristics and health vulnerabilities

  • NHS Constitution – Right to continuity of medical care and patient involvement in planning


V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t safeguarding. It was architecture — designed to break continuity, connection, and compliance.
We do not accept silent children as a system's success.
We do not accept contact blocked by omission and care denied by calendar.
We do not accept cultural erasure disguised as procedural logistics.
This was not care. It was disappearance.
And SWANK has now formally filed the harm you hoped would remain informal.

Re: The Compulsion to Declare One’s Own Maternity

Statement of Position submitted ahead of the 11 July 2025 hearing in Case ZC25C50281.


I. What Happened
On 1 July 2025, the claimant—who by now requires no introduction—filed a Statement of Position for the Family Court hearing of 11 July 2025.
This document, dispatched to an email constellation so wide it could be seen from space, reiterates that the applicant is the mother, the litigant in person, and—evidently—the sole custodian of procedural memory.


II. What the Complaint Establishes
• Procedural necessity to restate the obvious due to institutional amnesia
• Human impact: repetition as survival mechanism
• Power dynamic: the burden of clarity remains with the dispossessed
• Institutional failure: the system must be told, again, whom it is dealing with
What is not acceptable:
That a mother’s position must be performed as a theatrical preamble to be taken seriously.


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because every Position Statement is a testament to the ritual of enforced redundancy.
Because the obligation to narrate one’s existence—ad infinitum—reveals how bureaucracy metastasises.
Because the act of submission is itself the clearest evidence of procedural fatigue engineered by design.


IV. Violations
• Family Procedure Rules 2010 — Part 12: The requirement to record and consider submissions without demand for re-declaration
• Article 6 ECHR — equality of arms, not equality of recitation


V. SWANK’s Position
This was not a mere filing.
This was an exercise in bureaucratic penance.
⟡ We do not accept that legitimacy must be re-certified with each hearing.
⟡ We do not accept that procedural respect is an optional courtesy.
We will archive every such document—because repetition is not consent.
