Search Description:
Polly Chromatic objects to unsafe, discriminatory contact terms; demands trauma-informed access and removal of known triggers.

---

I. What Happened
On 2 July 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a formal objection to Westminster Children’s Services regarding their insistence that in-person contact with her children be made conditional on attending a planning meeting with officers Samuel Brown and Kirsty Hornal. This demand ignored prior disclosure of psychiatric trauma directly linked to both individuals.

Despite the submission of a psychiatric evaluation (Dr. Irfan Rafiq, 26 Nov 2024) documenting acute disability responses to coercive dynamics, Westminster continued to frame parental access around direct verbal contact with the very agents responsible for the children’s removal. Additionally, Westminster unilaterally cancelled asthma care for the children without consulting their mother — despite known diagnoses and distress.

The objection demands trauma-informed alternatives and full withdrawal of the triggering agents from direct contact — not as a courtesy, but as a legal necessity under the Equality Act.

---

II. What the Complaint Establishes

• Contact is being weaponised through coercive gatekeeping.

• Medical and psychiatric evidence has been ignored in favour of bureaucratic control.

• Parental access is being conditioned on exposure to clinically recognised triggers.

• Children’s ongoing medical needs (asthma) have been actively endangered.

• There is a pattern of disability-based discrimination masquerading as professional procedure.

---

III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because procedural compliance that endangers health is not lawful. It is pathological.
Because conditioning access on trauma exposure isn’t logistics — it’s cruelty with stationery.
Because removing children, cancelling their medical appointments, and then demanding face-to-face interactions with no disclosure is not child welfare. It’s control theatre.
Because written communication was offered — and weaponised.
And because disability cannot be an inconvenience in your calendar. It is your legal boundary.

---

IV. Violations

• Equality Act 2010, §20 – Failure to make reasonable adjustments

• Children Act 1989, §22 – Duty to safeguard and promote welfare of the child

• HRA 1998, Art. 8 – Interference with family life without proportionality

• UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Art. 21 – Respect for dignity in communication

• NHS Constitution – Right to informed care continuity for dependants

---

V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t planning. It was a psychological ambush disguised as a meeting.
We do not accept trauma used as a gatekeeping tool.
We do not accept care pathways that punish diagnosis.
We do not accept contact being offered only through procedural injury.
SWANK doesn’t ask for accommodations. It files formal breach notices.
You were warned. You proceeded. Now you are documented.

R (Chromatic) v Hornal: On Administrative Evasion, Legal Precision, and the Contact Schedule That Was Never Sent

🪞SWANK ENTRY
“This Is Not Confirmation”
On the Illusion of Responsiveness, the Absence of Lawful Contact, and the Weaponisation of Uncertainty

⟡ 1-Line Summary:

Polly Chromatic replies with surgical clarity to Kirsty Hornal’s evasion of her legal duty to confirm contact.

---

I. What Happened

After Westminster Children’s Services failed — yet again — to confirm lawful contact arrangements for Polly Chromatic and her four children, a formal response was issued at 13:20 on 15 July 2025.

Ms. Hornal had attempted to appear cooperative by offering vague projections (“likely,” “in negotiation”), but notably provided no confirmed dates, no times, no platforms, and no clarity whatsoever regarding:

• In-person contact for the mother

• Video contact for the mother

• Contact for the children’s grandmother

• Contact for the children’s father

In response, Polly Chromatic issued a professional and legally aligned rebuttal — elegant in tone, devastating in substance.

---

II. What the Reply Confirms

• Contact is not confirmed until specifics are provided

• Speculation does not meet legal thresholds for clarity or reliability

• All four children are U.S. citizens, and failure to facilitate contact may trigger diplomatic escalation

• Delays continue to disrupt emotional stability and violate planning rights

• This is not a clerical oversight — it is an ongoing obstruction pattern

---

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because not replying is obstruction, and replying without substance is worse.

Because a Local Authority cannot mask procedural failure with cordial phrases and vague timelines.

Because Polly Chromatic should not have to repeat the obvious: that contact is a legal duty, not a favour to be rationed.

We logged this reply because it captures the intellectual exhaustion of parenting under procedural aggression, and because it stands as a record of what the law requires — even when social services pretend otherwise.

---

IV. Violations Documented

• Article 8 ECHR – Breach of family life by failure to confirm lawful contact

• Children Act 1989 – Failure to implement court-mandated engagement

• Disability Neglect – Ignoring the planning needs of a medically protected parent

• International Diplomatic Interference – Denial of contact to U.S. citizens with no lawful cause

• Procedural Evasion – Providing appearance of communication while avoiding substance

---

V. SWANK’s Position

Let the record show:
A polite deferral is not a lawful response.
A vague suggestion is not contact confirmation.
And administrative civility is not a shield against procedural violation.

We file this not simply to log what was said — but to assert, formally, that no valid contact arrangements exist as of 15 July 2025, and that this inaction now forms part of the broader case against Westminster for obstruction, alienation, and disability disregard.

R (Chromatic) v Hornal: On Emotional Manipulation as Procedural Obstruction and the Manufactured Disruption of Family Unity

On Monday Excuses, Tuesday Delays, and the Bureaucratic Unravelling of Article 8

SWANK/CONTACT/KH-DELAY02

⟡ PDF Filename:

2025-07-15_SWANK_Addendum_KirstyHornal_ContactDelay02.pdf

⟡ 1-Line Summary:

Kirsty Hornal responded with excuses and speculation — again. Still no confirmed contact for mother, grandmother, or father.

---

I. What Happened

On 14 July 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a simple, lawful, and timely request:
– A Monday video call with her children at 10:00 a.m.
– A video introduction to the contact centre
– Confirmation of future contact for herself, her mother, and the children's father

Kirsty Hornal responded — not with confirmation, but with a litany of deferrals, emotional justifications, and a tone designed to portray administrative chaos as noble coordination.

Romeo, we are told, is too mature. The foster carer is overwhelmed. The centre is being considered. The email thread must be “monitored.” In short: a flood of words, and no plan.

---

II. What the Delay Confirms

• There is no confirmed weekly schedule

• There are no confirmed dates or times for in-person or video contact

• The grandmother and father remain excluded from all planning

• The children’s routines are being manipulated to reduce availability

• The Local Authority believes it can replace contact with anecdotes

Worse still, the response attempts to pathologise Romeo’s emotional intelligence as a behavioural problem. His protective instincts as a big brother — under traumatic and unjust separation — are weaponised to justify limiting access.

---

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is not planning.
This is bureaucratic theatre, written in the language of professional delay.

We logged it because Westminster is attempting to blur the distinction between contact and distraction — offering activity schedules and verbal sympathy in place of fixed parental access.

We logged it because Article 8 rights are not postponed by youth workers, educational enrichment, or emotionally manipulative narratives. They are enforceable. Immediate. Non-discretionary.

---

IV. Violations Documented

• Article 8 ECHR – Failure to facilitate contact with consistency and legal necessity

• Parental Alienation – Substituting routine overreach and reactivity for lawful connection

• Disability Disregard – No clear schedule provided for health-managed planning

• Procedural Undermining – Using anecdotal issues to delay compliance

• Emotional Misuse – Treating Romeo’s justified protectiveness as an interference

---

V. SWANK’s Position

Contact is not a luxury to be slotted between youth work and tuition.
Contact is not something that waits on provider negotiations or foster carer mood.

We reject the infantilising tone and disorganised theatrics offered in place of a lawful framework.

Let it be recorded:

• Romeo’s strength is not a disruption

• Honor and King’s right to consistency is not optional

• The U.S. grandmother and the children’s father must not be erased from this framework

Polly Chromatic has made repeated requests in good faith.
Westminster has responded with emotional noise and administrative dust.

We file this entry not because Kirsty Hornal failed to answer — but because she answered with everything but the law.

R (Chromatic) v Hornal: On Vagueness as Procedural Sabotage and the Administrative Erosion of Contact Rights

🪞SWANK ENTRY
“Provisional Contact Is Not Contact”
Day One of Administrative Vagueness and the Lawful Weaponisation of Delay

⟡ Reference Code:

SWANK/CONTACT/KH-DELAY01

⟡ PDF Filename:

2025-07-15_SWANK_Addendum_KirstyHornal_ContactDelay01.pdf

⟡ 1-Line Summary:

Kirsty Hornal sent a message so vague it practically confessed to obstruction.

---

I. What Happened

Following multiple unanswered emails, social worker Kirsty Hornal finally replied — not with a schedule, but with an open-ended non-commitment. Her email, sent at 12:59 p.m. on 15 July 2025, offers no confirmed dates, times, formats, platforms, or arrangements for the children’s contact with their mother, their father, or their maternal grandmother.

Instead, she says that contact is “likely” to occur and that she is still “in negotiation with providers.” This is not a confirmation — it is speculation disguised as progress.

---

II. What the Delay Confirms

• No confirmed in-person contact for the mother

• No confirmed video contact for the mother

• No mention of grandmother contact

• No mention of father contact

• No confirmation of providers, platform, or time

• No evidence of compliance with court expectations

By any legal standard, this is a failure to comply with contact duties under the Children Act 1989, Article 8 ECHR, and the procedural principles governing family court arrangements.

---

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because vagueness is not neutral — it is a tactic.
Because provisional language (“likely,” “in negotiation”) is a shield against accountability.
Because no mother should receive a message implying that her access to her children depends on third-party logistics, ambiguous possibilities, or institutional delay tactics.

Kirsty Hornal has had ample time to coordinate contact. Her refusal to provide a clear, written confirmation of lawful arrangements has left four children disconnected and three adults (mother, father, grandmother) in a state of emotional uncertainty and logistical paralysis.

---

IV. Violations Documented

• Article 8 ECHR – Breach of family life rights

• Children Act 1989 – Failure to facilitate contact as required

• Procedural Obstruction – Deliberate vagueness in the face of clear request

• Emotional Harm – Delays causing instability and distress to children

• Disability Disregard – Failure to provide scheduling needed for a disabled parent to plan

---

V. SWANK’s Position

We do not consider “likely” to be an acceptable legal position.

We do not consider “negotiating with providers” to be an excuse when days have passed without meaningful contact.

We do not consider contact ambiguity to be compatible with child welfare, parental rights, or international diplomatic obligations.

We file this delay as Day One of documented obstruction, with the clear understanding that each day following will be logged, numbered, escalated, and formally submitted to:

• The Central Family Court

• CAFCASS

• The U.S. Embassy and State Department

• Social Work England

• Ofsted

• The United Nations

Contact is not a favour.
It is a legal obligation.
And Westminster is failing to meet it.

R (Chromatic) v Hornal: On the Administrative Weaponisation of Silence and the Disruption of Family Contact

---

🪞SWANK ENTRY
“Refusal to Confirm Contact Schedule”
Bureaucratic Obstruction as Emotional Sabotage

---

⟡ Filed:

15 July 2025

⟡ Reference Code:

SWANK/CONTACT/KH-SILENCE

⟡ PDF Filename:

2025-07-15_SWANK_Addendum_KirstyHornal_NoContactConfirmation.pdf

⟡ One-line Summary:

Despite multiple requests, Westminster has failed to confirm any contact arrangements for the children.

---

I. What Happened

Despite repeated and clear requests sent directly to Kirsty Hornal, Westminster Children’s Services has failed to provide even the most basic information: when I am permitted to see or speak to my children.

The contact centre confirmed that in-person and video sessions are being discussed — but the social worker responsible for coordinating this contact, Ms. Hornal, has not responded with a schedule. Not for me. Not for the children’s father. Not for my mother. Not even for herself.

The result? I remain in the dark while my children are isolated under a so-called Emergency Protection Order that continues to function as emotional siege warfare disguised as safeguarding.

---

II. What the Silence Establishes

• The Local Authority is unable — or unwilling — to facilitate contact in a manner consistent with due process, dignity, and child welfare.

• Article 8 ECHR is once again treated as optional, rather than binding.

• The emotional health of four U.S. citizen children is being deliberately destabilised by administrative inertia.

• No formal communication has been provided regarding:

  • My in-person contact schedule

  • My video contact schedule

  • My mother’s contact

  • The children’s father’s contact from abroad

---

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because silence is not a neutral act.
Because withholding contact information is not a clerical error — it’s a strategy.
Because failing to notify a parent of their own contact rights is not just discourteous — it’s procedural cruelty.

We log it because the children’s attachments are being slowly eroded by adults who refuse to put pen to paper — and because Westminster appears more committed to controlling access than preserving connection.

---

IV. Violations

• Breach of Article 8 (ECHR) – Interference with family life without justification or proportionality

• Failure to facilitate ordered contact – In direct conflict with best practice and judicial expectation

• Emotional Harm by Neglect – Psychological impact of silence, unpredictability, and separation

• Disability Discrimination – Ignoring the medical needs of a mother who requires advanced notice and clarity to manage health logistics

---

V. SWANK’s Position

Westminster’s failure to confirm contact dates is not administrative oversight — it is a deliberate tactic of emotional estrangement.

We assert that:

• Contact is not a gift — it is a right.

• Schedules are not discretionary — they are mandatory.

• And silence is not neutrality — it is obstruction.

We therefore issue this log not as a plea for compassion, but as a record of harm.
Because every day without confirmed contact is not just a delay.
It is an act of legal sabotage against family unity.

Court File Name:
2025-07-04_ZC25C50281_Immediate_Concern_Regal_Missing_from_Video_Contact.pdf

---

I. What Happened

On the evening of 4 July 2025, the Claimant participated in a scheduled video contact session with her four children. However, only three were present.

Regal, aged 16 — the eldest and most protective sibling — was missing.

When asked, the other children casually replied:

“He’s riding his bike.”

No professional offered explanation.
No documentation was provided.
No supervision intervened.

This is not a scheduling error. This is procedural gaslighting by omission.

---

II. Why It’s So Disturbing

Just two days prior, Regal:

• Requested his belongings from home

• Asked to speak to his father and grandmother

• Expressed eagerness to join calls

Romeo has never missed a session voluntarily. His absence was:

• Unnotified

• Unexplained

• Unnatural

The only plausible causes:

• Improper restriction

• Punitive withdrawal

• Unrecorded safeguarding incident

• Coercive silencing of the only teenager capable of naming the abuse

This was not benign. It was strategic removal by passive force.

---

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when the state subtracts a child from a contact session without reason, it’s not administration — it’s emotional anaesthesia.

Because contact is not an optional performance. It is a right.

Because Romeo — as the eldest and most articulate child — is uniquely vulnerable to institutional efforts to curate what gets seen by the parent, the court, and the archive.

Because if Regal were visibly distressed, bruised, or vocal, withholding him would become a legal tactic.

Because his silence was not absence. It was edited out.

---

IV. SWANK’s Position

SWANK London Ltd. recognises this event as:

• An incident of parental erasure

• A symptom of safeguarding choreography

• And an urgent signal of either concealment or coercion

We now file this moment — not as a mystery, but as a milestone in the archive of procedural harm.

To exclude Regal without explanation is to rewrite the family script under state direction.

To do so in silence is to assume no one will ask where he went.

We are asking.
