“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. The Unblinking Bureaucracy



⟡ “The Interim Care Order of Catastrophic Imprudence” ⟡
A baroque farce wherein everyone forgot the basics of due process and the children’s inhalers.

Self-represented litigant’s scorched-earth statement on procedural anarchy.


I. What Happened
On 23 June 2025, four American children were abruptly removed from their mother’s care by an Interim Care Order bestowed in absentia—without her knowledge, representation, or the courtesy of a functioning Guardian. Medical continuity evaporated. Everyone smiled thinly.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That a hearing occurred without the mother or any serious attempt to accommodate her disabilities.

  • That the children’s documented medical vulnerabilities were filed under “miscellaneous.”

  • That procedural safeguards were performed with the theatrical enthusiasm of a damp napkin.

  • That this was not a safeguarding action but a bureaucratic experiment in speed and opacity.


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because this episode distills a recurring motif: the state’s tendency to conflate “urgent protection” with “expedient dispossession.” Because unchallenged removals become precedent, and precedent becomes architecture. Because no archive should be too polite to call it what it is.


IV. Violations

  • The Children Act 1989 (Section 44: Emergency Protection Orders—procedural compliance)

  • Equality Act 2010 (Section 20: Reasonable adjustments for disabled litigants)

  • Article 8 ECHR (Right to respect for private and family life)


V. SWANK’s Position
This was not safeguarding. It was procedural theatre—performed without rehearsal, script, or regard for the actual humans in the front row.
We do not accept the normalisation of hasty removal orders, nor the aesthetic of “it’s too late to question it now.”
We will document every occurrence—velvet contempt intact.
