Chronology of Confusion: A Timeline of Harassment, Homeschool, and the State’s Allergy to Autonomy
⟡ A Velvet Archive of Disruption, Misconduct, and Horticultural Misdirection
IN THE MATTER OF: A Family Trying to Learn and the State Trying to Prevent It
⟡ METADATA
Filed: 30 June 2020
Reference Code: SWANK-TCI-TIMELINE-HOMESCHOOL-INTERFERENCE
Court File Name: 2020-06-30_Court_Timeline_Abuse_Homeschool_TCI_SocialDevelopment
Summary: A clean, detailed chronology of years of harassment by the Department of Social Development in Turks and Caicos Islands, focused on the state’s persistent efforts to interfere with lawful homeschooling, compost toilets, environmental learning, and maternal sovereignty. Read it and weep (for the system, not the author).
I. What Happened
This document records a string of misguided interventions, false allegations, unannounced visits, confused welfare claims, and general procedural illiteracy by institutional actors who couldn’t tell the difference between truancy and Hugelkultur. It chronicles how a mother — equipped with intelligence, resilience, and a shovel — managed to out-teach the entire Department of Education without their permission.
II. What the Timeline Establishes
That the author was engaged in consistent, child-centred, curriculum-rich home education
That state interference was repetitive, vague, and unproductive
That concerns were often based on misinformation, neighbour complaints, or visual discomfort rather than substance
That every single complaint lacked meaningful follow-through, resolution, or accountability
That the mother repeatedly requested clarity, documentation, and protection — and was repeatedly ignored
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because timelines are receipts — and this one reads like a slow-motion procedural collapse. Because in a world where verbal reassurance is meaningless, documentation is survival. Because no parent should have to choose between educating their children and defending themselves against social work intrusion. And because when someone says “I’m being harassed,” you should probably take notes — not send another visit.
IV. Violations
Repeated safeguarding interventions without cause
Disregard for legal homeschool rights
Pattern of surveillance-style disruptions
Failure to follow statutory thresholds for involvement
Neglect of parental disability status and formal complaints
V. SWANK’s Position
This document is a master timeline of institutional misconduct, logged not for vengeance but for truth. SWANK London Ltd. recognises:
That lawful education without government oversight is not a crime
That procedural abuse wears a smile and carries a clipboard
That false concern is the most efficient tool of real neglect
And that one well-kept timeline can outlive every department that tried to suppress it
