The Legal Hallucination of Voluntary Accommodation
Parental Consent Under Duress as State Strategy
Filed date: 13 July 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-A13-S20FICTION
Court File Name: 2025-07-13_Addendum_S20Fiction_ConsentObstructed
1-line Summary: Page 639 of the leading children’s law text confirms Polly’s experience was not consent — it was state-engineered surrender.
I. What Happened
On 23 June 2025, four disabled U.S. citizen children were removed from their disabled mother in an act cloaked as “protective intervention.”
The mother, Polly Chromatic, was neither informed nor asked for lawful consent. Social workers — in documented coordination with her former solicitor — bypassed process, misrepresented rights, and weaponised ambiguity.
No safeguarding threshold was met.
No valid consent was offered.
No proper withdrawal of consent was required — because none had ever lawfully existed.
From February to June 2025, the Local Authority orchestrated a procedural ambush, culminating in a false appearance of voluntary cooperation — while behind the scenes, they escalated court filings and withheld legal notice.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
Page 639 makes three points Westminster chose to forget:
🔹 “The use of s.20 is not unrestricted and must not become compulsion in disguise.”
🔹 Consent must be “real and voluntary” — presumed cooperation is not enough.
🔹 The right to withdraw consent is absolute and cannot be procedurally obstructed.
And yet:
▪ Polly was never asked for formal consent.
▪ Her attempts to communicate refusal were ignored.
▪ She was excluded from key decisions due to disability and solicitor collusion.
▪ Her son Regal, aged 16, was denied age-appropriate autonomy.
▪ No one acknowledged her lawful objection or her efforts to retrieve her children.
This wasn’t accommodation. It was administrative theatre.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because Working Together to Safeguard Children (DfE), statutory guidance issued in 2018 and revised in 2023, affirms the following:
“Parents must be involved at every stage of safeguarding planning, especially when disabled or otherwise vulnerable.”
And because Section 20 is not a covert removal tool.
It is a shield — not a scalpel.
The page confirms that misuse of it constitutes legal malpractice, especially where consent is constructed post hoc through silence or fear.
Sir James Munby warned:
“Local authorities must not engineer situations which appear consensual when in fact they are coercive.”
Westminster engineered exactly that.
SWANK logged this page because the law was not misunderstood —
it was deliberately ignored.
IV. Violations
Children Act 1989 – Section 20(1), (7), and (8): Consent not obtained, right to withdraw obstructed.
Hackney [2019] UKSC 37 – Supreme Court precedent requiring genuine parental agreement disregarded.
Equality Act 2010 – Failure to accommodate the disabled parent’s communication and capacity rights.
Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – Family life interfered with unlawfully.
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child – Articles 5, 9, and 12.
UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) – Articles 12 & 23 breached.
V. SWANK’s Position
This page is not theory. It is a mirror — and Westminster has shattered its own reflection.
To treat silence as assent, illness as incapacity, and procedural confusion as cooperation is not just cruel. It is legally indefensible.
We reject the fiction that Polly’s children were “accommodated.”
They were removed — covertly, cruelly, and without her consent.
And no spreadsheet or solicitor can reclassify theft as support.
We do not request sympathy. We demand review, discharge, and investigation.
