1-Line Summary: When safeguarding becomes suppression, one parent builds an archive louder than their silence.
I. What Happened
In the summer of 2025, four U.S. citizen children were removed from their home under a UK Emergency Protection Order triggered by a disproven hospital allegation. Their mother, Polly Chromatic, had spent years reporting medical negligence, housing hazards, institutional gaslighting, and safeguarding misuse — only to be labelled the threat herself.
Despite severe asthma, vocal injury from sewer gas poisoning, and past mistreatment by authorities, she had rebuilt her family’s life with structured home education, medical care, and stability. When they took her children on 23 June 2025, she did not scream. She filed.
Now, the SWANK Evidentiary Catalogue documents what they tried to hide: a systemic failure wrapped in concern forms and carried out with procedural contempt.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
This case demonstrates that:
Disability accommodations were ignored.
Safeguarding powers were weaponised.
Parental authority was bypassed based on disproven claims.
Cross-border protections for U.S. citizens were dismissed.
The children’s emotional wellbeing was visibly harmed, yet rationalised away.
Despite NHS acknowledgments, evidence of lawful home education, and the children's clear preferences, the local authority escalated its control — even restricting what the mother could say to her children.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because they kept saying "no one else is concerned."
Because every right taken was justified with a blank form.
Because silence was used as a strategy, and forgetting was institutionalised.
Because documentation is resistance. And refusal is a legal form.
IV. Violations
Article 8, ECHR: Interference with private and family life
Article 12, UNCRC: Denial of the child’s right to express views
Children Act 1989: Disregard for the child's welfare and expressed wishes
Data Protection Act: Mishandling of disability and safeguarding disclosures
Equality Act 2010: Discrimination based on disability
V. SWANK’s Position
Safeguarding is not meant to erase families.
Authority is not an excuse for gaslighting.
And silence is not a sign of guilt — it is often a sign of survival.
SWANK London Ltd files this as a record of what happens when a parent refuses to give in, breaks the procedural seal of secrecy, and makes each filing a monument to what the institutions erased.
No one thought she would organise the evidence.
They were wrong.
