“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.

Re: Chromatic v. Cockburn Medical Centre and the State Theatre of Pelvic Oversight


⟡ “An Exam Without Curtains”: Sexualised Safeguarding, Foreskin Forcing, and Postcolonial Contempt at Cockburn Town Medical Centre ⟡

Filed: 8 November 2020

Reference Code: TCI-2017-2020-MEDABUSE-CTMC
Court File Name: 2020-11-08_Court_Complaint_CockburnMedical_MedicalAbuse_SafeguardingViolation.pdf
Summary: A documented act of state-coordinated sexual abuse against three minor boys, conducted under the guise of safeguarding examination in Turks and Caicos.

I. What Happened

On 25 May 2017, in the presence of nine adults including police and social workers, a state-sponsored “examination” at Cockburn Town Medical Centre devolved into a humiliating and abusive performance. The examining doctor, Dr. Antrieve Benjamin, forcibly exposed and manipulated the genitals of Polly Chromatic’s minor sons, aged 8, 5, and 3, while seated in a semicircle of observers as if it were a clinical theatre. The 1-month-old infant daughter was never examined—further revealing the performative, non-medical nature of the alleged safeguarding.

On 3 November 2020, the mother returned to request the medical records for both this event and another unlawful hospital visit on 7 April 2019. Instead of receiving timely documentation, she was made to wait four hours, charged $200, and met with disassociation, confusion, and memory lapses from the very doctor who conducted the violation.

The April 2019 records—concerning yet another social work-led ambush—were denied altogether by the Ministry of Health, despite clear legal and parental rights.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Unlawful safeguarding procedures enabled the public sexual assault of minor children under official state supervision.

  • Dr. Benjamin, unable to recall basic facts and relying on the mother to reconstruct the events, charged exorbitant fees for post-facto reports that should have been present in the files all along.

  • The Ministry of Health denied access to legally obtainable records, obstructing lawful parental inquiry.

  • A postcolonial fetishisation of “non-Caribbean mothering” underpinned the racialised and sexualised examination practices.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because it is inconceivable that a modern medical authority could:

  • Normalise public penile inspections of traumatised children under police presence;

  • Joke about beating children mid-exam;

  • Prescribe non-consensual, daily foreskin retraction as medical advice;

  • And then lose or refuse the documentation entirely.

This is not a safeguarding protocol. This is colonial surveillance cloaked in latex gloves.

IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 (UK) – Duty to prevent harm, privacy violations

  • UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) – Article 16 (Right to Privacy), Article 19 (Protection from Abuse)

  • European Convention on Human Rights – Article 3 (Inhuman or Degrading Treatment), Article 8 (Family and Private Life)

  • Data Protection Principles – Denial of access to medical files

  • Medical Ethics & GMC Guidelines – Consent, dignity, and traumatisation in paediatric examination

V. SWANK’s Position

This is a textbook example of what happens when “safeguarding” is used as a performance rather than a protection. A mother was not only robbed of dignity and due process—her sons were exposed, violated, and handed back to her in tears. The only thing more grotesque than the exam itself was the bureaucratic indifference that followed.

The fact that Dr. Benjamin could not remember her own actions and needed help reconstructing events three years later only highlights the chaotic negligence that masquerades as care in British-affiliated territories.

If this event had occurred in the UK mainland, it would have incited lawsuits, hearings, and professional suspension. But in the colonial theatre of Cockburn Town, it was paraded, billed, and forgotten.

We will not forget.
