Retaliation, Rebranded as Removal
A Judicial Review Addendum on the Political Utility of Emergency Orders
Filed Date: 23 June 2025
Reference Code: SWANK/JR/0623-RETALIATION-ADDENDUM
Court Filename: 2025-06-23_Addendum_Judicial_Review_Removal_Retaliation
One-line Summary: Addendum to Judicial Review documenting the retaliatory and unlawful seizure of four U.S. citizen children.
I. What Happened
On 22 June 2025, four American children were forcibly removed from their home by Metropolitan Police officers and Westminster social workers. No lawful notice was served. No legal representation was present. No safeguarding assessment had justified the event. The mother—Polly Chromatic—was medically nonverbal and entirely excluded.
This addendum was filed the following day in the High Court, supplementing an already active Judicial Review claim concerning safeguarding misconduct, public law breach, and jurisdictional overreach. It lays bare the retaliation that occurred under the camouflage of “child protection.”
II. What the Complaint Establishes
That the removal was procedurally invalid—executed without disclosure, representation, or the claimant’s participation.
That the mother’s disabilities were explicitly disregarded, in contravention of the Equality Act 2010.
That this act followed a cascade of legal filings: a Judicial Review, an N1 civil claim, and public documentation on SWANK—all of which directly preceded the removal.
That the U.S. Embassy was never notified, despite the international legal obligations triggered by the nationality of all five family members.
That this was not protection. It was retribution, dressed in bureaucratic ceremony.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because safeguarding is not supposed to operate like a police raid against a litigant.
Because removing American children from a disabled parent with active legal claims—without protocol or reply—looks very much like retaliation.
Because disability accommodations are not decorative. And consular rights are not optional.
Because this is the moment where lawful family separation crossed into geopolitical misconduct.
IV. Violations
Children Act 1989 – Sections 38 & 44
Equality Act 2010 – Sections 20, 29
Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 6 (fair trial) & 8 (family life)
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child – Articles 3, 9
Vienna Convention on Consular Relations – Article 37
Judicial Review Principles – Natural Justice & Legitimate Expectation
V. SWANK’s Position
The timing was not incidental. The process was not lawful. The motivation was not protection. The silence that followed? Noted.
The events of 22 June mark a decisive break from any pretence of legal proportionality. The state acted with the precision of enforcement—but without the burden of evidence. The mother was silenced, the children seized, and the documents served to no one.
