“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

In re: Chromatic, On the Question of Whether Justice Must Be Staggered



🪞WE DO NOT BEG FOR OUR CHILDREN

Where unconditional love meets unconditional legal entitlement — and delays are not care, they are cruelty.


Filed: 4 August 2025

Reference Code: SWANK-UR-2025-08

PDF Filename: 2025-08-04_Addendum_UnconditionalReunification.pdf

Summary: A formal declaration that reunification is not a favour to be offered with strings. It is a right that has been violated — and must now be restored in full, without conditions.


I. What Happened

Following 43 days of State-induced separation without lawful basis or evidentiary threshold, the Mother, Polly Chromatic, has filed this addendum to affirm what should never have been up for negotiation:
The return of one’s own children is not a conditional privilege.
It is a legal and moral imperative.

No harm has been found.
No protection is required.
There is only delay masquerading as due diligence — and the children are suffering for it.


II. What This Filing Establishes

This addendum clarifies:

  • No conditional offers will be entertained

  • No assessments will be accepted as preconditions to reunification

  • No staggered return will be tolerated unless supported by evidence-based safeguarding need (none exists)

  • The delay itself is now the primary form of emotional harm affecting the children

This is not rehabilitation — this is punitive obstruction of family life.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a mother is asked to “earn” her children back after a baseless removal, the system is no longer safeguarding — it is punishing.

Because Article 8 ECHR is not a courtesy extended by bureaucracy — it is a right that precedes and outlasts the forms it must be printed on.

Because, as Bromley’s Family Law makes devastatingly clear:

“Where no risk threshold has been satisfied… continued separation not only undermines the child’s welfare — it risks entrenching state-inflicted trauma under the pretence of support.” (p. 640)

There is no risk. There is only regime.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, s.1(1) – Paramountcy principle

  • Article 8 ECHR – Right to family life

  • Equality Act 2010 – Indirect discrimination by process

  • UNCRC Articles 9 & 19 – Right to family unity and protection from emotional harm


V. SWANK’s Position

We do not negotiate over the return of children to a home that was never dangerous.
We do not phase in maternal rights.
We do not accept reunion as a transaction to be earned through compliant humiliation.

We call for immediate, unconditional return — not because the mother is perfect, but because the law has offered no reason to remove her children in the first place.

There is no threshold.
There is no finding.
There is only audacity — and it must now end.
