On the Unlawful Detention of Four Foreign Nationals by a British Authority Without Diplomatic Consultation

Filed by: Polly Chromatic
Summary: Legal confirmation that all four children are sole U.S. citizens and are entitled to international protection, consular oversight, and cross-border legal respect.

United States v Westminster City Council

I. What Happened

Westminster Children’s Services removed four American children — Regal, Prerogative, Kingdom, and Heir — from their home on 23 June 2025, issuing an Emergency Protection Order without acknowledging or accommodating the children’s sole U.S. citizenship.

Despite this being a cross-border matter, no U.S. Embassy engagement has occurred. All children remain under foreign state control without lawful consular access, digital communication, or proper cultural rights.

II. What the Addendum Establishes

All children are U.S. citizens only — born on U.S. soil, with no U.K. citizenship.
The EPO has not been reviewed by diplomatic monitors.
No Hague or Vienna Convention provisions have been invoked.
The court is being asked to proceed as if the children are British minors, when in fact they are foreign nationals entitled to international protection.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because Westminster cannot unilaterally detain children of a sovereign nation without accountability.
Because international treaties were designed to prevent this very overreach.
Because silence from the Local Authority is not procedural neutrality — it is jurisdictional negligence.

IV. Legal and Treaty Violations

Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (Article 36) – Right to consular notification and oversight
Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (1980) – Cross-border custody interference
European Convention on Human Rights (Article 8) – Family and national identity
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (Articles 9, 12, 30) – Right to identity, expression, and cultural belonging
7 FAM 1700–1900 (U.S. State Dept.) – Mandatory diplomatic awareness in custody disputes abroad

V. SWANK’s Position

The court and the Local Authority must recognise the international scope of this case.
To continue without acknowledging the children's citizenship status is to unlawfully override international safeguards.
This is not a domestic protection matter.
This is a cross-border interference in the lives of four sovereign citizens.

SWANK asserts that the children’s removal — absent any U.S. diplomatic review — constitutes a procedural breach, a diplomatic concern, and a violation of treaty law.

In re Chromatic v. Local Authority (UK), Regarding the International Notification of Child Removal and the Consular Silence of Empires

📎 Metadata

Filed: 7 July 2025
Reference Code: SWL-EX-0624-USCONS-DIPLOREQ
Court File Name: 2025-06-24_SWANK_USChildren_DiplomaticOversightRequest_UKEmergencyCourt
1-line summary: Formal request for diplomatic oversight submitted to U.S. Embassy following removal of four American citizen children by UK authorities.

I. What Happened

At 01:37 on 24 June 2025, Polly Chromatic formally alerted American Citizen Services (U.S. Embassy, London) of the unlawful and retaliatory removal of her four minor children — all of whom are documented U.S. citizens with complex medical needs.

The UK Administrative Court had already received a Judicial Review and Emergency Reinstatement Request, citing safeguarding abuse, retaliatory supervision threats, and procedural exclusion of the mother as a litigant in person.

This email was not written as a plea.
It was a foreign policy flare.

II. What the Request Establishes

That international jurisdiction was engaged, triggering Vienna Convention obligations
That medical care for U.S. minors was interrupted by unlawful state seizure
That the request was made clearly, urgently, and with all necessary reference to active UK court proceedings
That silence by U.S. officials after notification would constitute tacit compliance with domestic overreach

You cannot claim to protect citizens abroad if you remain quiet while they are processed like local property.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because consular oversight is not decorative.
Because children who hold U.S. passports do not lose nationality when seized by British authorities.
Because silence from the Embassy after a lawful request for diplomatic intervention becomes diplomatic complicity.

SWANK does not assume abandonment.
But we document it in advance.

IV. Violations and Stakes

Removal of minors without jurisdictional clarity
Interruption of scheduled medical care (Hammersmith Hospital)
Violation of Vienna Convention Articles 5, 36, and 37
Exclusion of U.S. parent from emergency proceedings in defiance of civil filings

The letter was sent.
The evidence was public.
The children were already gone.

The only thing left to test was whether the Embassy would speak.

V. SWANK’s Position

This communication will remain part of the record — as will any silence that followed it.
The U.S. Embassy was duly and lawfully notified.
The children remain separated.
The mother continues to litigate.
The archive continues to grow.

In history, as in war, there are dispatches.
This was one.

⟡ “Do Not Confuse the Filing of Evidence With the Filing of Permission” ⟡
A Bundle of Sovereign Grievance, Constitutional Obstruction, and Velvet Jurisdiction

📎 Download PDF – 2025-06-26_SWANK_Bundle_SectionB_ProceduralDeclarationsAndJurisdictionalEvidence.pdf

13 evidentiary filings documenting international breaches, safeguarding misuse, and retaliatory escalation

I. What Happened

Following the unlawful Emergency Protection Order enforced on 23 June 2025, the applicant compiled Section B of her Family Court bundle: a velvet dossier of declarations, timelines, carer consents, ethical indictments, and cross-jurisdictional alerts.

Documents span the 17–26 June period, capturing legal filings, consular outreach, contact bypass evidence, and multi-agency defiance.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That Westminster enforced an EPO without notice, documentation, or threshold
That children were removed absent safeguarding rationale or legal disclosure
That formal filings (civil claim, JR, embassy contact) triggered retaliatory force
That U.S. jurisdiction was ignored; Vienna Convention obligations breached
That CAFCASS, SWE, and Legal Services failed to respond to jurisdictional alerts
That police enforcement occurred without presenting legal authority

III. Why SWANK Logged It

This section was assembled not simply as evidence — but as a historical counter-record.
Where institutions suppress, delay, redact, or evade, this bundle asserts sovereign authorship.

The children’s removal was not a safeguarding act. It was an institutional tantrum at being held to account. Section B captures that tantrum, names it, and files it under procedural truth.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989 – Section 1 (welfare paramountcy), Section 47 (assessment threshold)
Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 6, 8, 14
Vienna Convention on Consular Relations – Articles 36, 37
Equality Act 2010 – Discrimination based on disability, culture, and neurodivergence

V. SWANK’s Position

The Family Court must not become an instrument of state retaliation against mothers who document too well, file too often, or love too precisely.
Section B is not a narrative — it is a mirror.
A mirror held to those who mistook silence for submission.

This bundle is not polite. It is lawful.

Six-part declaration and evidentiary block outlining institutional silence, procedural bypass, and contact evasion prior to the EPO.

I. What Happened

Between 20–25 June 2025, multiple formal filings were submitted by Polly Chromatic to Westminster Children’s Services and the Family Court. No acknowledgement was received. On 23 June 2025, four U.S. citizen children were removed from their home by five police officers — without documentation, prior notice, or lawful hearing participation.

SWANK London Ltd. documents:

A full communications breakdown
Unlawful contact attempts in Haitian Kreyol
Procedural evasion
Ignored legal redirection notices
A consular protection request to the U.S. Embassy

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Failure of service and due process
Misuse of safeguarding without notice or threshold
Unacknowledged civil and judicial claims
Bypass of the litigant and international law
Institutional retaliation in the shadow of redirection

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because silence is a strategy.
Because procedural voids are filled with trauma.
Because SWANK does not tolerate ghost jurisdictions.

This cover bundle exposes how Westminster Children’s Services avoided documentation, manipulated contact pathways, and provoked diplomatic intervention — all while ignoring live court processes.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989
Human Rights Act 1998
Vienna Convention on Consular Relations
Judicial Review protocols
Equality Act 2010 (disability-based communication exclusion)

V. SWANK’s Position

This isn’t a case of administrative oversight.
It’s a map of legal displacement, performed with polished silence.
When a government service fails to respond, what it says is: We do not see you.
SWANK sees you. We file what they forget. We record what they evade.

Polly Chromatic v Westminster: U.S. Consular Oversight Requested Under Vienna Convention Following Child Removal

⟡ “You Removed Four Americans. We Requested a Consular Visit. We Filed the Vienna Convention.” ⟡
When Britain Breaks Its Own Law, America Shouldn't Need an Invitation to Watch.

Formal request to U.S. Embassy for consular visit and protective observation following the unlawful removal of four disabled American children by Westminster Children’s Services.

I. What Happened

At 03:54 AM on 24 June 2025, Polly Chromatic issued an urgent diplomatic request to the American Citizen Services division of the U.S. Embassy in London. The letter outlines the unlawful removal of her four U.S. citizen children on 23 June 2025 by Westminster Council. No warrant was provided. No hearing was held. No consular notification occurred. Judicial Review proceedings, emergency reinstatement applications, and multiple regulatory complaints are now active. All four children — King, Prince, Honor, and Regal — were removed without transition planning, in breach of UK law, U.S. treaty rights, and international protocol.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

The U.S. government was not notified of the seizure of four American minors
No medical transition plan was coordinated despite chronic conditions (eosinophilic asthma)
The lead child, Regal, age 16, was removed without autonomy consideration
Parental disability accommodations were ignored, triggering access and safeguarding violations
A consular response is now necessary for diplomatic oversight and constitutional protection

This wasn’t a domestic issue. It was a foreign seizure of American citizens under false pretences.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because international jurisdiction doesn’t start when a parent files in D.C. — it starts the moment foreign soil targets an American child.
Because the Vienna Convention was ratified for exactly this.
Because Regal isn’t just 16 — he’s an asthmatic dual citizen removed in a legal blackout.
Because silence by the Embassy would signal acquiescence.
Because this isn’t just court failure. It’s international breach — and we filed it.

IV. Violations

Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, Article 36 – Failure to notify U.S. government upon removal of citizen minors
Children Act 1989 – Lack of lawful threshold, order, or medical justification
Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 6 & 8 – Family integrity and due process rights denied
Equality Act 2010 – Access accommodations and disability protections ignored
UNCRC & UNCRPD – Violation of child autonomy, medical access, and disabled parental protections
U.S. Treaty Obligations – Breach of dual-national child protections under federal law

V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t a safeguarding action. It was an international incident staged by a local authority.
This wasn’t lawful jurisdiction. It was a treaty breach executed with bureaucratic confidence.
This wasn’t a family matter. It was a constitutional violation with a UK postmark.

SWANK hereby archives this as the formal notice that America has been asked — directly, jurisdictionally, and in writing — to observe, record, and respond.
No one can say they weren’t told.
This post is the proof.
The next move belongs to Washington.

This is not a blog.
This is a legal-aesthetic instrument.
Filed with velvet contempt, preserved for future litigation.

Because evidence deserves elegance.
And retaliation deserves an archive.
