✶ WELCOME TO SWANK ✶
An Archive of ✦ Elegance, ✦ Complaint, ✦ and Unapologetic Standards
from a Mother Harassed by the State in Two Countries for Over a Decade.
✦ My Comments, Unabridged
“There have been several previous checks with boroughs which have not highlighted concerns with my children or parenting.”
This isn’t my first encounter with institutional paranoia.
And it won’t be the last.
But let the record show: none of them found fault.
“It is evident that I have well-rounded and emotionally secure children who have strong relationships with each other and, in your words, are ‘polite and respectful.’”
Their words, not mine.
Even the state’s mouth slips occasionally and says something true.
✦ On Home Education and Movement
“My children are home schooled… the effect of movement on them and disruption as a consequence is minimal.”
“They have GPs and dentists… so again, the moving has little impact on their welfare.”
Their assumptions rely on school as social anchoring.
I rely on actual stability: family, learning, structure.
A mobile life does not equal chaos—especially when every detail is managed with precision.
✦ The Hospital Incidents
“On 2 January 2024, I was told at St Thomas’ Hospital I could not be treated with Honor present. The police check later that day raised no concerns.”
“On 3 February, I chose to leave the children at home—avoiding hospital trauma altogether.”
And yet, both decisions—opposite in strategy—were framed as risky.
The only thing consistent here is the state’s obsession with surveillance, not child safety.
“There is no legal age limit for leaving children alone. Maturity—generally 12+—is the benchmark. My decision was grounded in sound parental judgement.”
Exactly.
The law respects judgement.
But the state punishes mothers for exercising it.
✦ Medical Misconduct and Racial Gaslight
“The initial report following 3 February was a belief that I was intoxicated, which was false. I have produced a specialist letter confirming my diagnosis.”
When truth threatens their narrative, they retreat to innuendo.
When that fails, they pivot to unsubstantiated allegations.
“What is the dysregulated behaviour? What was the racial abuse? There are no real details, and this needs to be expanded upon.”
And there it is.
They deploy language like ‘dysregulated’ or ‘racial abuse’ without evidence, without clarity—
because ambiguity is their power play.
Because specificity would expose the hollowness of the claim.
✦ Final Word
You want to track my decisions?
Start by tracking your own.
The pattern is this:
• When I speak clearly, you call it dysregulation.
• When I protect my health, you call it evasion.
• When I name abuse, you call it accusation.
• And when I ask for detail, you offer none.
