“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

Chromatic v Contact Fiction: On the Procedural Fabrication of Parental Disengagement



💎 THE CONTACT CORRECTION

On the Reassertion of Lawful Contact Rights and the Collapse of the Local Authority’s Procedural Theatre

Filed by: SWANK London Ltd
Author: Polly Chromatic
Filed Date: 1 July 2025
Reference Code: SWANK/CONTACT/0701-01
PDF Filename: 2025-07-01_StatementOfPosition_ContactRightsReassertion.pdf
Summary: A position statement dressed as a scalpel — clarifying that no contact refusal ever occurred, and that the fiction of disengagement is the Local Authority’s own invention.


I. What Happened

Following the Emergency Protection Order issued on 23 June 2025, the Local Authority began circulating a familiar lie:
That the mother, Polly Chromatic, was refusing contact.

This document corrects that fiction — precisely, procedurally, and with documentation in hand.

Filed in anticipation of the Case Management Hearing on 11 July 2025, the statement reasserts that:

  • The mother never refused contact;

  • All communication was made in writing;

  • Contact was to occur lawfully, with accommodations, and under supervision;

  • The LA’s proposed contact arrangements between 25–27 June were procedurally defective, coercive, and made without proper notice.

It is a legal clarification and institutional indictment rolled into a single page.


II. What the Statement Establishes

This document does not plead — it declares.

It establishes, with surgical clarity, that:

  • The mother was available and willing for contact, immediately and continuously

  • She requested contact be conducted in line with:

    • Safeguarding standards,

    • Medical accommodations,

    • Consular protections for her four U.S. citizen children

  • The LA’s narrative of refusal is a fabrication of convenience, designed to justify further restriction

It is the LA, not the mother, who has obstructed lawful contact.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because there comes a moment in every procedural theatre when one must rise and burn the script.

Because it is not disengagement to request lawful procedure.
It is not refusal to require 48 hours’ notice.
It is not obstruction to ask that one’s disability be accommodated.
And it is not parenting to supervise fear with fiction.

This post is a declaration:
The mother did not refuse contact.
The Local Authority refused truth.


IV. Violations

  • Article 8 ECHR – Unlawful interference with family life

  • Children Act 1989 – Misrepresentation of contact willingness, obstruction of contact

  • Equality Act 2010 – Failure to accommodate communication-related disability

  • Vienna Convention on Consular Relations – Failure to uphold protections for U.S. citizen children

  • Procedural Fairness – Contact proposals made with no valid notice, structure, or accessibility


V. SWANK’s Position

This was not a position statement — it was a velvet objection wrapped in legal silk.

Polly Chromatic has not missed contact — contact missed her.

And the fiction that she disengaged is now shredded in court filing form, with date, reference code, and composure intact.

When the Court asks what happened to contact, the answer will not be confusion — it will be archived retaliation.

Chromatic v Westminster – On the Jurisprudence of Kitty-Witty and Continuity of Care



⟡ SWANK Evidentiary Catalogue
Filed date: 17 July 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-VISIT-CAT01
PDF Filename: 2025-07-17_SWANK_Request_VisitationWithPanda.pdf
1-Line Summary: Regal’s request for contact with the family cat Panda reflects deep attachment, continuity of care, and emotional truth — not novelty.


I. What Happened

During the contact session on 17 July 2025, Regal Chromatic made a clear and spontaneous request to visit the family’s catPanda, affectionately known as Kitty-Witty. This was not a flippant or superficial comment. It was a gentle but profound appeal for reconnection with the home-based world from which he and his siblings were forcibly removed.

This is not about a cat.
This is about belonging.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

This request establishes:

  • That attachment to the family cat is part of the children's stable emotional ecosystem

  • That enforced separation from familiar, loving environments (including non-human family members) constitutes emotional deprivation

  • That Regal’s emotional intelligence is being suppressed by institutional conditions where even affection is rationed

This is not a minor wish. It is evidence.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the legal system so often fails to recognise the subtle and sacred in child welfare — and a child’s longing for a cat becomes a radical act of continuity.

Because this request is a protected expression under Article 8 ECHR:

“Private and family life includes the development of personal identity, home environment, and emotional continuity.”

Because, as Bromley’s Family Law confirms:

“The continuity of relationships and emotional bonds must be treated with the same legal weight as material needs.”

Because the suppression of these everyday bonds is not neutral — it is institutionalised emotional neglect masquerading as bureaucratic efficiency.


IV. Violations

  • ECHR Article 8 – Unlawful interference with private life and emotional identity

  • Article 3 UNCRC – Failure to prioritise the child’s best interests in contact arrangements

  • Article 12 UNCRC – Failure to meaningfully respond to a child's stated wishes

  • Safeguarding Misapplication – Disregarding non-verbal indicators of wellbeing like pet attachment

  • Welfare-Based Neglect – Failing to offer compassionate accommodation that includes emotional anchors like Panda


V. SWANK’s Position

This is not a request for a petting zoo.
This is a constitutional critique in whiskers and tail.

The local authority must recognise, accommodate, and preserve the emotional ecosystem of these children. Visitation with Panda / Kitty-Witty is an act of emotional restoration, not indulgence.

Regal’s request is valid, therapeutic, and legally significant. Any refusal to consider this request as part of broader family contact is not only callous — it is a failure of safeguarding imagination.
