A mother’s formal statement to her children, sworn into the Family Court record after a forced police removal.
I. What Happened
On 23 June 2025, four disabled U.S.–UK children were removed by force from their home. No legal order was served. No warning was given. Five police officers entered while the mother, Polly Chromatic, was in her bedroom. The children were playing. Within minutes, they were gone.
This document was written not to the court, but through it — addressed directly to those children.
II. What the Statement Establishes
That the removal was procedurally unserved and emotionally violent
That the children were not permitted to bring basic medical items or belongings
That the mother, while traumatised and ambushed, responded by documenting rather than collapsing
That the truth has been written down for the children to find, archived forever
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because the Family Court rarely lets children speak — and almost never lets mothers speak in future tense.
This statement ensures that if the system cannot return them swiftly, at least the system must carry the weight of their names, their belongings, their inhalers, their story. It is an evidentiary act of love, not loss.
IV. Violations
Children Act 1989, S.22 – Failure to account for identity, placement trauma, and familial continuity
ECHR Article 8 – Right to family life and correspondence, denied without notice or access
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child – Articles 7, 9, and 13 breached by information deprivation and sudden separation
V. SWANK’s Position
This statement enters the legal archive not as a plea — but as a prelude.
A record that no matter how long they are gone, the children will find not silence, but recorded memory, documented love, and a mother who archived every injustice in their name.
If they were taken by force, let this be what meets them when they return:
Not a redacted file — but a witnessed truth.
Not an apology — but a declaration.
