“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

A Chronology of Retaliation Disguised as Welfare: How DSD Failed, Fumbled, and Fabricated



πŸ‘‘ The Name Is Chromatic

On Surnames, Surveillance, and State-Sanctioned Folly

By: Polly Chromatic
(nΓ©e Noelle Jasmine Meline Bonnee Annee Simlett, but not if I can help it)
πŸ“ Grand Turk / Providenciales / London
πŸ•° Dated: 9 January 2020


πŸ–‹ I. Regarding Names, Misnamings, and Institutional Clumsiness

Let us begin where all bureaucracy fumbles first: identity.

  • My full legal name—infelicitously recorded—is Noelle Jasmine Meline Bonnee Annee Simlett.

  • “Bonnee Annee” is misspelled on my husband’s adoption certificate. It ought to be Bonneannee.

  • “Simlett” belongs to my husband’s stepfather and plays no meaningful role in my personhood.

  • I do not use either. Neither should you.

  • We intend to correct this grave aesthetic and legal oversight by legally adopting the surname Bonneannee, a name as unapologetically French as our standards.


🏚 II. Duke Street: A Study in Neighbourly Malice

November 2016 – November 2017

  • Our residency on Duke Street was marred by the theatrical villainy of one Brian Haegney, who declared (publicly and repeatedly) his wish to have my children “taken away.”

  • He succeeded in summoning the state: Ashley Adams Forbes responded on 23 May 2017 with references to “many occasions” of physical abuse.

  • There were no such occasions.

  • I have never physically punished my children. Not once. Not ever.

  • Fabrication, however, was clearly in season.


πŸ₯ III. The May 2017 Examination: A Display of Barbarism

  • Following Brian's fables, I—along with my mother and children—was forcibly escorted to Grand Turk National Hospital.

  • My sons were subjected to genital examinations in the presence of nine seated adults, who arranged themselves in a semicircle as though attending a gallery opening.

  • My daughter was not examined at all. One wonders why.

  • There was no consent. No privacy. No explanation.

  • I protested. I was shamed for protesting.

  • My mother witnessed every indignity. We left traumatised. DSD left satisfied.


πŸ“΅ IV. On the Myth of My Disappearance

  • Contrary to DSD’s invented difficulties, I have had the same phone number since 2016.

  • I provided them a timeline that plainly stated we had relocated to Providenciales.

  • They knew where we were. They simply preferred the fiction.


πŸ›’ V. Brown Houses, Truancy Officers, and the Politics of Grocery Shopping

May 2018

  • Upon moving to the Brown Houses, I was harassed in the grocery store by Mr. Kennedy, truancy officer and part-time intimidator.

  • I contacted Ashley Adams ForbesMark Garland, and Edgar Howell. Mark responded. Ashley threatened a home visit to inspect my children's notebooks.

  • No such visit occurred.

  • I was advised to let it go by our property attorney Andre Malcolm, so I did—like a lady, not a doormat.


🧾 VI. Homeschooling: Authorised and Yet Persecuted

  • I spoke to Mark Garland in June 2017. He formally approved me to homeschool.

  • DSD was informed—directly and explicitly.

  • Therefore, any report about my children “being out during school hours” in 2018 is not just irrelevant, it is publicly embarrassing for those who made it.


🧱 VII. Palm Grove, Petty Neighbours, and Nonsensical Allegations

August 2019

  • Allegations emerged: drug use, nudity, dirty children. (I assure you: only the last one is true, and blessedly so.)

  • The report coincides precisely with a verbal altercation involving my neighbour Jenny and her fence-builder John, a man who:

    • Attempted to punch me through a fence.

    • Threatened to kill me.

    • Complained that my house “should be torn down.”

  • If children being barefoot in their own yard offends someone, the problem is with their worldview, not my parenting.


πŸ’‰ VIII. Vaccinations and Surveillance by Stethoscope

  • My children are vaccinated. In the USAUK, and TCI. Try to keep up.

  • The report that we were “unvaccinated” came one day after I privately discussed vaccines on the phone with my mother. Someone had clearly been eavesdropping.

  • Romeo’s cheek bandage was from treating a cherry angioma, not trauma.

  • The wart plasters I used worked better than the prescription.

  • The doctor declared all children in good health. So why was a Care Plan initiated?

  • We were left at the hospital without transport or explanation.


🧠 IX. The Psychiatric Farce

  • I have no mental health diagnosis.

  • I disclosed eosinophilic asthma—a medical condition, not a psychiatric one.

  • Mental health officers were sent anyway. They asked if the trampoline was for the kids and whether we wore shoes outdoors.

  • No reports, no diagnoses, no explanations. Just... bureaucrats in sandals.


πŸ“Œ X. The Paper Trail of Nothingness

  • Ashley Forbes now declares that a “current investigation” continues.

  • Into what, exactly?

    • Medical professionals reported no concerns.

    • My documentation is exhaustive.

    • DSD refused to meet my attorney, Lara.

  • They claim I am uncooperative. Yet the silence, avoidance, and evasion are all theirs.


πŸ“Ž XI. Demands, Non-Negotiable

I hereby demand:

  • Full access to all records and reports made by DSD against me.

  • Disclosure of every justification offered for:

    • The 2017 genital inspections.

    • The 2019 hospital visit.

    • The so-called Care Plan that no one has seen.

  • A formal acknowledgement that no Care Plan was ever agreed, signed, or explained.


πŸ•― Final Observation

This is no longer about safeguarding. It is about face-saving.

A decade of harassment, neighbourly vendettas, misapplied protocols, and fabricated crises—designed not to protect children, but to punish a woman who refuses to grovel.

If DSD remains “involved,” it is not because of need. It is because they cannot admit error.

Surveilled, Not Supported: The TCI Department That Wouldn’t Leave



⟡ SWANK International Harassment Archive ⟡
“You’re Being Investigated Because You Keep Asking Why You’re Being Investigated”
Filed: 1 November 2016
Reference: SWANK/TCI/SOCIALDEV-HARASSMENT-TIMELINE-01
πŸ“Ž Download PDF – 2016-11-01_SWANK_SocialDevelopment_Harassment_Timeline_TCI.pdf
Author: Polly Chromatic


I. This Wasn’t Oversight. It Was Performance Art in a Government Lanyard.

This timeline documents a multi-year siege by the Department of Social Development in the Turks and Caicos Islands — an institution that neither protected nor clarified, but simply appeared. Repeatedly. Without warrant, without coherence, and without shame.

At the centre:

  • A mother who homeschooled legally

  • Children dragged into systems meant to protect them

  • And a parade of officials who mistook persistence for legitimacy

No crime. No threshold. No transparency.
Just paperwork, intimidation, and silence — dressed as duty.

This wasn’t investigation.
It was bureaucratic loitering with a clipboard.


II. What the Timeline Proves

That the Department of Social Development:

  • Failed to articulate the legal basis of its repeated interventions

  • Ignored written educational permissions under national law

  • Demanded personal documents without formal justification

  • Engaged in home intrusions, hospital coercion, and adjustment-violating behaviour

  • Repeatedly withheld case reports — in breach of the Children Ordinance

And most offensively:
Claimed to act in the child’s best interest while institutionalising distrust as policy.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because harassment is not legitimised by timestamps.
Because endless “visits” without resolution constitute state stalking.
Because the only thing more dangerous than unchecked authority is unchecked routine.

We filed this because:

  • No parent should have to document this much to justify peace

  • No child should grow up surveilled instead of supported

  • No department should be allowed to wear the word “development” while obstructing it

Let the record show:

The family complied.
The state escalated.
The questions were lawful.
The answers were never delivered.
And SWANK — delivers the audit instead.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept surveillance disguised as safeguarding.
We do not accept silence when law demands explanation.
We do not accept social workers acting as both enforcers and forgetters.

Let the record show:

The dates were recorded.
The names were repeated.
The intrusion was patterned.
And the archive — is now permanent.

This wasn’t protection.
It was a government hobby with no exit strategy.

A Legal Letter Was Sent. The Harassment Continued.



⟡ SWANK Archive Dispatch ⟡

“The Attorney General Was Notified. The Silence Was Filed.”
Filed: 15 July 2020
Reference: SWANK/TCI/AG-001
πŸ“Ž Download PDF – 2020-07-15_SWANK_Letter_AG_TCI_SocialDev_Harassment_Homeschool_Trauma.pdf


I. A Letter Was Sent. The Attorney General Did Nothing.

This is the formal complaint addressed to the Attorney General of the Turks and Caicos Islands concerning:

  • Repeated harassment by Social Development

  • Systemic intrusion into home education and disability adjustment

  • The weaponisation of welfare agencies against a medically vulnerable parent

The letter cites trauma, safeguarding misuse, and procedural intimidation.

There was no reply.

No legal rebuttal.
No protective intervention.
Just — silence.


II. The Complaint Was Not Emotional. It Was Evidentiary.

This was not a plea.
It was not a cry for help.
It was a legal letter of record, composed with composure and delivered with jurisdictional clarity.

And like so many others —
it was ignored.


III. What This Document Proves

  • That legal systems can fail not through action, but through elegant inaction.

  • That harassment delivered in uniform remains harassment.

  • That when even Attorneys General refuse to intervene, the public record must.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not consider silence a neutral act.
We do not interpret non-response as innocence.

When the highest legal officer in a territory receives a structured record of harm — and declines to acknowledge it —
that silence becomes part of the misconduct timeline.

We wrote. They didn’t answer.
We archived the void.

They Called It Welfare. I Called It Retaliation.



⟡ SWANK Archive Dispatch ⟡

“Fundamental Rights Breached. The Commission Was Told.”
Filed: 15 July 2020
Reference: SWANK/TCI/HRC-PETITION
πŸ“Ž Download PDF – 2020-07-15_SWANK_Petition_TCI_HRC_Homeschooling_Harassment_DisabilityAbuse.pdf


I. This Was a Petition. They Treated It Like a Suggestion.

This document was a formal plea —
no, a demand — for recognition of the repeated, systemic abuse inflicted by TCI Social Development on a disabled parent and her children.

The petition asserts:

  • Breach of educational rights

  • Discriminatory harassment of a disabled mother

  • Failure to uphold legal protections under constitutional and international law

It was submitted to the Human Rights Commission.
There is no record of corrective action.


II. What the Document Actually Does

It outlines a state-sanctioned theatre of intrusion:

  • Welfare masquerading as surveillance

  • Concern forms masking coercion

  • A safeguarding structure so unmoored from justice it endangered the very children it claimed to protect

This is not a grievance.
It is an index of violations, typed and timestamped for tribunal memory.

What was submitted was evidence.
What was ignored was consequence.


III. SWANK’s Position

When governments confuse “safeguarding” with parental punishment,
when Human Rights Commissions go mute in the face of procedural targeting,
SWANK responds — with archive, not appeal.

This petition was lawful.
The claims were grounded.
The silence was expected.
The publication was inevitable.

Let the record show:

The Commission received this.
The public now reads it.
And SWANK — preserved what they buried.
