“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. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Re: The Doctrine of Contactless Safeguarding



⟡ Re: The Doctrine of Contactless Safeguarding ⟡

Position statement reasserting lawful contact rights and repudiating contrived allegations of refusal.


I. What Happened
Between 23 June and 1 July 2025, the applicant’s four U.S. citizen children were removed under an Interim Care Order. Despite repeated formal offers to engage in supervised contact compliant with safeguarding standards and disability accommodations, the local authority instead devised ad hoc arrangements lacking lawful notice, clarity, or basic procedural coherence. This statement was filed to document that no refusal of contact ever occurred—and that the procedural confusion was exclusively institutional in origin.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That the mother has demonstrated consistent, documented willingness to participate in lawful, supervised contact.

  • That offers of contact were constructed in a manner more reminiscent of ambush than due process.

  • That disability accommodations, consular protections, and medical continuity were again omitted from all proposals.

  • That the suggestion of parental non-engagement is a rhetorical flourish unsupported by any credible evidence.

  • That the institutional habit of rebranding procedural defect as parental hostility is a form of reputational laundering.


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because clarity in the evidentiary record matters when institutions prefer innuendo to fact. Because the right to contact is not contingent upon deference to defective processes. Because any suggestion that contact has been refused must be archived—and contradicted—on the public record.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 (Section 34: Duty to promote and facilitate contact)

  • Article 8 ECHR (Right to family life—subjected to administrative erosion)

  • Equality Act 2010 (Failure to provide disability accommodations)

  • Vienna Convention (Consular rights of U.S. citizen children)


V. SWANK’s Position
This was not safeguarding. It was the orchestration of procedural confusion as a substitute for lawful engagement.
We do not accept the quiet normalisation of contact denial reframed as parental refusal.
We will document every occurrence—precise, immutable, and unimpressed.

Formal request for judicial intervention following unlawful Emergency Protection Order and total parental exclusion


I. What Happened

On 23 June 2025, four U.S. citizen children were forcibly removed from their home under an Emergency Protection Order. No notice was given. No grounds were served. No parent was allowed to attend.
Despite active Judicial Review proceedings and pending applications, the removal was executed in silence — and cloaked as law.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • The mother, a disabled litigant, was excluded entirely

  • No legal documents were served prior to removal

  • The EPO was actioned mid-litigation, during live challenges to jurisdiction

  • To date, no location, contact, or medical updates have been provided

  • All court applications and protective statements were filed immediately after, but not acknowledged


III. Why SWANK Logged It

This document constitutes procedural theatre masquerading as emergency law.
It reflects a structural refusal to allow disabled parents to speak, act, or object — unless retroactively, when the harm is already done.
This was not safeguarding. This was erasure.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 (Sections 44, 46, 47 – misused)

  • Article 8 ECHR – Right to family life

  • UN Convention on the Rights of the Child – ignored

  • Equalities Act 2010 – disability access denied

  • Vienna Convention on Consular Relations – no U.S. embassy notice


V. SWANK’s Position

You do not get to pretend it was lawful after the fact.
A parent cannot challenge proceedings they are barred from attending.
This urgent directions request does not beg for contact — it demands restoration of legal dignity.

The family was never absent.
The state was just silent.

In the Matter of Four Children, One Mother, and the Arrogance of Unacknowledged Standing



⟡ Right by Blood, Barred by Procedure ⟡
Why a Mother's Legal Standing Still Requires a Filing

Position statement establishing Polly Chromatic’s lawful right to apply for child arrangements under Section 10


I. What Happened

On 23 June 2025, Polly Chromatic’s four U.S. citizen children were removed from their home under an Emergency Protection Order. No documentation was served. No court hearing was attended. No parent was consulted.

In response, the applicant submitted a full set of family law applications, including:

  • C100 for residence and contact

  • C2 applications on behalf of two trusted carers

  • Supplementary filings affirming jurisdiction, diplomatic implications, and procedural breaches

This statement confirms that the mother — a parent with parental responsibility — holds automatic standing under Section 10(4) of the Children Act 1989. Yet she was required to defend her entitlement as though it were up for negotiation.


II. What the Statement Establishes

  • Parental status and visa-based UK residency

  • Section 10(4) standing to apply without permission

  • Justified C2 support for extended family with close caregiving ties

  • Evidence of procedural denial and obstruction by the local authority

  • A pattern of contact suppression through coercive structuring


III. Why SWANK Logged It

When a legal mother with full parental rights must plead for recognition in her own children’s case, something is broken.

This filing forms part of the wider evidentiary framework documenting:

  • Jurisdictional chaos

  • Coercive procedural practices

  • The bureaucratisation of maternal instinct

It is not a request. It is a legal correction.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – Section 10(4), Section 10(9)

  • Article 8 ECHR – Right to family life

  • UN Convention on the Rights of the Child – Respect for parental role

  • Vienna Convention – Consular obligations during foreign national removal


V. SWANK’s Position

No mother should have to reapply for her own motherhood.
No foreign citizen should have their parental rights erased by procedural silence.
SWANK affirms: parental standing is not earned through compliance — it is asserted through truth.
