Children Under 18 Are Still Children — Unless You’re Westminster
On the Fiction of Non-Childhood and the Fabrication of Parental Absence in Emergency Orders
Filed Date:
13 July 2025
Reference Code:
SWANK-C17-S20
Court File Name:
2025-07-13_Addendum_ChildrenStillChildren_S20Misuse
One-Line Summary:
Westminster social workers ignored statutory child status to bypass proper accommodation duties and due process.
I. What Happened
On 23 June 2025, Westminster Children’s Services coordinated an Emergency Protection Order (EPO) to seize four children — all U.S. citizens, all under the age of 18, all legally residing with their mother, Polly Chromatic.
Despite their legal status as children under Section 105(1) of the Children Act 1989, the local authority treated them as if they were:
– Unaccompanied
– Parentless
– Administratively disposable
Instead of offering lawful support or conducting a legitimate risk assessment, Westminster escalated without transparency — removing the children not based on harm, but on convenience. Their presence with a legally present, rights-aware mother posed a problem for the narrative. And so, in true procedural theatre, Westminster simply pretended she wasn’t there.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
According to Bromley’s Family Law and decades of settled case law:
“A child is defined by law, not by administrative convenience.”
Yet Westminster:
Ignored s.105(1) and the settled definition of childhood
Avoided Section 20 procedures requiring consent and partnership
Failed to acknowledge the mother’s active presence and lawful parental status
Proceeded with removals as if the children had no legal parent available to care for them
This wasn’t child protection. It was child fiction.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because the Children Act 1989 doesn’t stop applying just because the local authority doesn’t like the mother.
Because parental presence — especially by a documented, vocal, and disabled U.S. citizen — cannot be legislatively erased for expediency.
Because pretending a child isn’t a child, or a parent isn’t a parent, to bypass procedural safeguards is administrative fraud dressed up in safeguarding vocabulary.
Polly Chromatic cited Southwark, Croydon, and Lambeth. She emailed legal precedents. She knew the law. Westminster ignored her.
So now SWANK logs it.
IV. Violations
Children Act 1989 s.105(1) – Legal misclassification of child status
Children Act 1989 s.20 – Circumvention of accommodation safeguards
Children Act 1989 s.17 – Failure to offer services prior to removal
Equality Act 2010 – Discrimination based on parental disability
ECHR Article 8 – Violation of the right to family life without legal cause
Common Law Principles – Procedural unfairness, bad faith, and abuse of power
V. SWANK’s Position
The removal of Polly Chromatic’s children was not a lawful act.
It was an administrative fantasy — engineered by professionals who believed that erasing a mother from the record would simplify the paperwork.
The law does not permit this.
The Children Act does not authorise it.
And now, Bromley condemns it — with page 636 filed, highlighted, and cited.
Let it be known:
A child does not lose their rights because the parent knows theirs.
And the state cannot substitute convenience for consent, nor fiction for fact.
