“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.

When Law is Ignored and Mothers Are Not



⟡ SWANK Dispatch to the Human Rights Commission ⟡

A Documented Plea from the Architect of Her Own Sovereignty
15 July 2020

The Education They Feared Was Mine


I. The Official Petition They Chose to Dismiss

A mother—Polly Chromatic, lawfully authorised to homeschool by the Department of Education on 26 June 2017—was not persecuted for wrongdoing. She was persecuted for independence.

For three and a half years, she and her children were harassed under the grotesque guise of child “protection” by the Turks and Caicos Department of Social Development (DSD).

Their real grievance?
She refused to relinquish her children to the custody of unqualified, intrusive agents of the state.

And what did the state do in response?

  • Sanctioned sexual assault on her sons in a public exam room while she vocally objected.

  • Pushed harmful genital practices, in defiance of NHS medical standards and global human rights norms.

  • Illegally entered her property—seven times—with no warrant, no cause, and no consequence.

  • Violated lockdown protocols, endangering her life as a medically vulnerable person with eosinophilic asthma.

  • Demanded repeated “proof” of legitimacy—educational credentials, financial records, curriculum—submissions which were repeatedly ignored.


II. The Legal Framework They Pretended Not to Know

The following legislation was disregarded with bureaucratic arrogance:

  • Children (Care and Protection) Ordinance 2015: Mandates delivery of investigation reports to parents. None were ever given.

  • Education Ordinance 2009: Clearly permits homeschooling when authorised. Her approval was on record.

  • Emergency Powers (COVID-19) Regulations 2020: Barred non-urgent property entry. They entered anyway—no masks, no distancing, no justification.

Polly’s severe eosinophilic asthma, a medically documented condition, was treated not with caution, but contempt.


III. The Rights They Trampled Without Hesitation

The following rights under the Turks and Caicos Islands Constitution Order 2011 were egregiously violated:

  • Right to Life – Her condition was ignored, her exposure maximised.

  • Freedom of Conscience and Religion – Her environmental and health practices were mocked.

  • Right to Education – Homeschooling was treated as deviance, not lawful choice.

  • Protection from Discrimination – Based on cultural, medical, and educational identity.

  • Right to Private and Family Life – Her home became a revolving door for harassment.

  • Protection from Inhuman Treatment – The state humiliated, endangered, and punished.

  • Lawful Administrative Action – No hearings. No reports. No process. Just intrusion.


IV. The Timeline of Surveillance, Submission, and Refusal

πŸ“… November 2016 – July 2020:

  • Repeated curriculum submissions and academic documentation

  • Verified credentials: BA, MA

  • Police reports filed and discarded

  • Warrantless property invasions

  • State-enabled hospital violations

  • COVID-19 threats to health and life

  • A constellation of unanswered, archived, and ignored correspondence

All documented.
All dismissed.
All damning.

Executive Summary: How Bureaucracy Became a Fog Machine for Disappearing Children



Executive Summary

From the Investigative Brief:
The Ministry of Moisture — How Social Work Became a Mold Factory

Author: Polly Chromatic
Affiliation: SWANK (Standards & Whinges Against Negligent Kingdoms)
Date: 28 May 2025


❝ Paperwork disappears, and so do the children. ❞

This investigative brief presents compelling evidence that the United Kingdom’s social work system—cloaked in the language of child protection—has metastasised into a closed-loop bureaucratic ecology, where recordkeeping failure, judicial opacity, and systemic silencing actively enable the disappearance, trafficking, and abuse of children in care.

Drawing from direct witness accounts, comparative borough data, and critical structural analysis, this brief reveals how vague referralssealed courtsout-of-area placements, and missing documentation are not bureaucratic errors, but hallmarks of a systemic pattern.


Key Findings


πŸ”Ή 1. Disappearance of Records as a Systemic Pattern

Child removals are routinely accompanied by:

  • Missing or verbal-only safeguarding referrals

  • Unsigned, untraceable, or backdated documents

  • Redacted and sealed family court files

  • Narrative discrepancies between reports and physical evidence

These omissions do not reflect negligence.
They construct a barrier to scrutiny, erasing accountability and disempowering families by design.


πŸ”Ή 2. Secrecy and Control Over Child Testimony

The family court’s veil of confidentiality is repeatedly used to:

  • Prevent children from naming abusers

  • Silence protective or dissenting parents

  • Punish those exposing sexual abuse or misconduct

Testimonies that contradict social worker narratives are reframed as:

  • “Coaching”

  • “Instability”

  • “Emotional harm”

Thus, children’s truths are weaponised against them.


πŸ”Ή 3. Human Trafficking Referrals Against Social Workers

Formal referrals have been submitted to Social Work England (SWE) alleging:

  • Non-consensual child removals via fabricated or distorted records

  • Transfers to private care placements with documented abuse history

  • Suppression of disclosures about sexual harm

  • Professional discrediting of whistleblowers, including clinicians and parents

These actions demand criminal investigation, independent of internal regulatory bodies.


πŸ”Ή 4. Bureaucratic Language as a Mask for Harm

Phrases such as:

  • “Non-engagement with professionals”

  • “Risk of future harm”

  • “Complex safeguarding”

are routinely deployed to:

  • Justify state control

  • Pathologise parents

  • Obscure institutional failure

This euphemistic lexicon targets Black, disabled, mixed-race, and low-income families with disproportionate intensity.


πŸ”Ή 5. Financial Motives and Private Sector Obscurity

Child protection is no longer solely a public service—it is a lucrative industry:

  • Private care homes profit from secretive government contracts

  • Out-of-area placements shield abusers and cut ties with local oversight

  • Families under gag orders cannot seek legal recourse

  • There is no independent registry tracking how many children go missing from care

Profit thrives in opacity. Accountability drowns in moisture.


Recommendations (Condensed)

  • πŸ” A national public inquiry into children disappeared via social services

  • 🧾 A full forensic audit of sealed family court files, especially where sexual abuse was disclosed

  • πŸ”’ Criminal penalties for destruction of safeguarding documentation

  • πŸ“š A public, searchable registry of children missing from care

  • πŸ›‘ Immediate protections and reparations for whistleblowers and silenced families


SWANK Conclusion:

Social work did not collapse.
It mildewed—
and children were lost in the fog.



What I Filed. Why I Survived. Who Lied.



⟡ I Told the Police I Would Not Be Quiet. And Then I Hit Publish. ⟡
“They sent me a template. I sent them a PDF.”

Filed: 21 November 2024
Reference: SWANK/MPS/EMAILS-12

Parent’s direct reply to Metropolitan Police following hospital safeguarding retaliation. Document affirms refusal to engage with internal complaints processes and confirms public interest publication strategy.


I. What Happened

On 21 November 2024, following multiple incidents of NHS mistreatment and a retaliatory safeguarding report filed against her, the parent forwarded a message to the Metropolitan Police.

The email included:

  • previous complaint about hospital bullying and safeguarding abuse

  • The police’s dismissive response, instructing her to raise concerns with the NHS directly

  • A firm declaration that she no longer trusts institutional pathways

  • A clear statement that she will be publicly archiving, posting, and reporting all misconduct for legal, social, and protective purposes

She stated plainly:

“I do not wish to raise a concern about a police officer. I wish to log a history of abuse so I can protect myself from retaliation.”


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That the police refused to act on NHS bullying reports related to disability and safeguarding retaliation

  • That the parent was not attempting to file a complaint — she was protecting herself in writing

  • That the public posting of documents is not a threat — it is a reasonable safeguard

  • That the parent had already attempted multiple internal avenues — and been ignored or harmed

  • That the record is now external, timestamped, and non-negotiable


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a police officer tells you to take your abuse report back to the people who abused you,
they’re not resolving the issue — they’re recycling it.

Because when you say:

“I’ve archived the pattern and will keep publishing it,”
that’s not aggression —
that’s survival.

You don’t owe these institutions silence.
You owe yourself the record.

And now, so do they.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 27
    Victimisation through refusal to engage with safeguarding-related discrimination claims

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 3, 6, and 8
    Denial of remedy, degrading treatment, refusal of process

  • Police Code of Ethics – Integrity and Respect
    Failure to investigate or acknowledge serious allegations of institutional retaliation

  • Freedom of Expression – ECHR Article 10
    Lawful right to archive and publish evidence of institutional abuse in the public interest


V. SWANK’s Position

This was not a complaint.
It was a withdrawal of trust.

This wasn’t an escalation.
It was a declaration.

They closed the door.
So we built the archive.

And now, every reply is public.
Every silence is logged.
And every refusal gets a file name.
