“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

She Asked for Safety. They Offered a Sandwich.



⟡ “I Can’t Breathe — But I’m Glad You Got Your Lunch.” ⟡
Disability disclosure met with a sandwich and a smile.

A heartbreaking message from the parent — articulating the cause and mechanics of her panic attacks — answered with casual deflection, false warmth, and an offer to “help yourself” to Kirsty’s forgotten groceries. This wasn’t a dialogue. It was a lesson in how institutions perform compassion while ignoring its meaning.


I. What Happened

She explained:
– That panic attacks are triggered by institutional abandonment.
– That she feels unsafe speaking because she’s been reported and punished for it.
– That verbal communication worsens her symptoms, despite her love of talking.
– That this began with the sewer gas incident in October 2023.

She asked for help.
She asked to be read.
And Kirsty said,
“Have a lovely week — and enjoy my lunch.”


II. What the Email Establishes

  • That the parent clearly disclosed panic triggers and verbal disability context

  • That her medical and emotional needs were expressed in direct, reasonable terms

  • That Kirsty Hornal’s reply focused on tone, not substance

  • That her response trivialised the seriousness of the disclosure

  • That an opportunity for meaningful support was reduced to polite optics


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because disability isn’t cured with courgette salad.
Because saying “no worries” to a panic disclosure is not care — it’s erasure.
Because when someone tells you they can’t breathe,
you don’t change the subject to groceries.
And because archival silence is safer than performative replies.


IV. Violations Identified

  • Failure to Acknowledge Medical Disclosure with Clinical or Procedural Support

  • Emotional Minimisation of Disability-Linked Distress

  • Institutional Tone-Policing in Response to Genuine Distress

  • Dereliction of Duty to Investigate Impact of Prior Environmental Hazard (sewer gas)

  • Continued Retaliatory Impacts Following October 2023 Environmental Incident


V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t a moment of kindness.
It was a moment of containment.
She told them she couldn’t talk.
She told them she was scared.
She told them what would help.

And they told her:
Help yourself to lunch.

Now we’re helping ourselves —
to a permanent record.

She Wasn’t Panicking. She Was Remembering.

When panic becomes predictable and communication becomes a risk.

A raw and unrehearsed disclosure of trauma-induced panic and communication anxiety — triggered not by crisis, but by the institutional responses to it. This isn’t just an email. It’s the x-ray of ten years of safeguarding misuse, social worker escalation, and medically dangerous silence.


I. What Happened

She said thank you.
She said panic attacks happen when she tries to explain herself — and people either call social workers or vanish.
She said she’s terrified of her own breathing.
She said she enjoys talking — but panic now lives in her inbox.
She said the attacks began when the sewer gas did.
She said it without formatting or strategy.
Just truth — sent quietly.


II. What the Email Establishes

  • That panic attacks are linked to a longstanding cycle of retaliation and abandonment

  • That the sewer gas leak in October 2023 triggered sustained trauma and physical health deterioration

  • That communication — even seeking help — has become its own risk

  • That the parent has no safe mode of disclosure left

  • That this entire system runs on the fear of being punished for speaking


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because this is what procedural harassment looks like when it reaches the body.
Because when emails cause panic,
and help invites surveillance,
you’re no longer being supported — you’re being documented.
And because panic is not pathology — it’s pattern recognition.


IV. Violations Identified

  • Retaliatory Activation of Social Services Following Honest Disclosures

  • Institutional Conditioning of Silence Through Procedural Punishment

  • Failure to Provide Mental Health-Sensitive Communication Accommodations

  • Medical Neglect Following Known Environmental Hazard (Sewer Gas Leak)

  • Multi-Agency Abandonment After Disclosure


V. SWANK’s Position

This was not dramatic.
It was deliberate.
A woman wrote a thank-you email — and included the entire psychological map of her destruction.
Not because she wanted to.
But because silence is dangerous now too.
Every time she talks, they respond with escalation.
So she stopped talking.
And started archiving instead.
