When the State Refuses to Read Its Own Laws
I. The Harassment Was Sanctioned, but Not Legal
From June 2017 to July 2020, the Department of Social Development (DSD) in Grand Turk launched not a safeguarding mission—but a persecution campaign.
It began with one legally documented decision: a mother homeschooling her children with formal approval.
Approval was granted by Mark Garland on 26 June 2017.
The DSD disregarded this.
They ignored educational law.
They ignored public health law.
They ignored human rights law.
They did not ignore me.
They hunted me.
II. The Abuses Were Not Abstract. They Were Documented.
🩸 Sexual abuse by a government doctor, committed in front of nine adult witnesses, and greenlit by DSD. I objected. They retaliated. My children suffered the unspeakable.
🧬 Outdated and harmful medical practices were imposed, including coercive attempts to retract my sons’ foreskin—directly contradicting NHS medical guidance. This is not “care.” This is cruelty.
📚 Homeschooling was pathologised despite my consistent documentation of curricula, educational activities, and my own Master’s degree.
🏠 Home invasions: fence-breaking, illegal entry, shouting through windows, and coercive hospitalisation—all without legal authority or court orders.
🦠 COVID-19 violations: Social workers trespassed during lockdown, risking the life of a mother with eosinophilic asthma, a clinically vulnerable condition. No masks. No sense. No accountability.
III. Violations of the Constitution & Conscience
The following constitutional rights under the Turks and Caicos Islands Constitution Order 2011 were plainly violated:
Right to Private and Family Life
Right to Protection from Inhuman Treatment
Right to Education
Right to Lawful Administrative Action
Right to Freedom of Expression
Right to Freedom of Conscience and Religion
Protection from Discrimination
They mocked my beliefs.
They harassed my family.
They humiliated my children.
They endangered my life.
They ignored every complaint.
They fabricated unwritten laws—and punished me for not following them.
IV. What They Ignored—and Why It Matters
They ignored my legal homeschool approval.
They ignored my medical vulnerability.
They ignored the constitutional framework they claimed to uphold.
They ignored the psychological damage they inflicted.
When I finally filed a formal petition to the Human Rights Commission, they responded with silence.
Silence is not neutrality.
Silence is complicity.
