R (Chromatic) v. The Case That Wasn’t Managed [2025] SWANK 36 What the CMH will hear — is what the children lived.

⟡ Statement of Position for Case Management Hearing, July 2025 ⟡
Chromatic v. The Nine Days of Silence [2025] SWANK 36 — “The system paused. The children did not.”

Filed ahead of the July CMH; documents emotional deterioration, medical neglect, and obstruction of contact since 23 June.

I. What Happened
On 2 July 2025, Polly Chromatic, acting as litigant-in-person, filed a Statement of Position with the Central Family Court in preparation for the upcoming Case Management Hearing scheduled for July 2025. The filing documents:

Nine consecutive days of contact denial following the EPO on 23 June
Cancellation of asthma-related medical care without consultation
Visible emotional collapse observed during first permitted contact on 2 July — especially in the youngest child
No information on medication status, placements, schooling, or emotional support for the children
Repeated obstruction of lawful contact and disregard for judicial expectations set at removal

This submission does not request sympathy. It demands jurisdictional recalibration.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Children with chronic health conditions were subjected to an unbroken period of institutional isolation
Medical treatment plans were unilaterally cancelled, breaching both continuity of care and duty of consultation
Contact has been systemically suppressed, disguised as administrative backlog
Emotional trauma is no longer speculative — it is visible, recorded, and escalating
Nine days of silence in response to a care order constitutes not protection, but abandonment by design

III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because nine days without contact is not an administrative delay. It is harm.
Because cancelling asthma care is not a clerical error. It is medical negligence under procedural cover.
Because a system that removes children in one day and says nothing for nine is not broken. It is functioning exactly as built.
Because the youngest child is visibly collapsing — and no one in uniform seems to think that matters.
And because SWANK is not submitting a position. SWANK is submitting a correction to the record.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989, §§22 & 34 – Duty to maintain contact and medical continuity
Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 3 & 8 – Protection from degrading treatment; right to family life
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Articles 9, 24 – Right to parental contact and access to healthcare
Equality Act 2010, §149 – Failure to prevent indirect discrimination against disabled parent and asthmatic children
Care Planning Regulations 2010 – Breakdown in placement review, parental communication, and contact integrity

V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t a procedural delay. It was systemic muting of a family in crisis.
We do not accept “case preparation” as an excuse for nine days of vanishing.
We do not accept contact that arrives only when the parent begs.
We do not accept the repackaging of silence as case management.
This case will be managed — but not by those who erased nine days from the record.
This filing is not a plea. It is an evidentiary landmark.

Re the Directions (Filed by the Litigant, not the Court) [2025] SWANK 26 When the mother wrote the agenda.

⟡ Urgent Directions Request Re: Emergency Protection Order (23 June 2025) ⟡
Chromatic v. Judicial Drift [2025] SWANK 26 — “Where the silence was louder than the seizure.”

Filed: 26 June 2025

Formal request for judicial directions following unlawful EPO; bundle filed electronically and by post.

I. What Happened
On the evening of 26 June 2025, Polly Chromatic, acting as litigant-in-person via SWANK London Ltd., issued an Urgent Directions Request to the Central Family Court. This followed the filing of a full evidentiary bundle contesting an Emergency Protection Order (EPO) issued on 23 June. The bundle was submitted electronically, with hard copies dispatched by post. Core requests included: listing the matter urgently, confirming receipt, and acknowledging disability access requirements and U.S. consular involvement. The documents were submitted with full legal formatting, indexed via SWANK’s evidentiary reference system.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

The Court has not initiated timely proceedings following a coercive emergency intervention.
A U.S. citizen and disabled mother has been forced to litigate under duress while coordinating consular protections.
The response burden has been unilaterally transferred to the applicant — who now drafts directions for the Court.
No formal disability accommodations or procedural fairness safeguards were put in place following the EPO.
The litigant's organisation, not the institution, initiated order, structure, and lawful communication.

III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because the EPO was fast. The Court’s reaction was not.
Because urgent seizures demand urgent hearings — not bureaucratic backspacing.
Because when a disabled parent must draft your directions list and deliver the bundle herself, the institution is no longer neutral.
Because proximity to power does not excuse procedural absence.
And because every time SWANK is asked to “wait,” it documents what happened while waiting.

IV. Violations

Family Procedure Rules 2010, Pt. 1 – Duty to deal with cases justly and without delay
Children Act 1989, §44 – Failure to review EPO with due haste
Equality Act 2010, §20 – Omission of required disability accommodations
HRA 1998, Art. 6 & Art. 8 – Denial of fair hearing and interference with family life
Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, Art. 36 – Failure to notify U.S. authorities adequately

V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t oversight. It was jurisdictional neglect, staged as scheduling.
We do not accept delay masked as deliberation.
We do not accept silence as judicial impartiality.
We do not accept systems that seize children within 24 hours, but stall when asked to answer for it.
SWANK does not wait patiently. It archives everything that happens during the pause.
What the court failed to provide, the applicant constructed.

Re the Children (Unlawful Seizure & Procedural Panic) [2025] SWANK 26 A bundle submitted. A façade collapsed.

Full evidentiary bundle rebutting an EPO imposed on a disabled U.S. parent mid-litigation.

I. What Happened
On 26 June 2025, Polly Chromatic, acting as litigant-in-person and via her legal proxy, SWANK London Ltd, submitted a comprehensive evidentiary bundle in response to an Emergency Protection Order (EPO) dated 23 June 2025. The submission includes:

Core discharge and parental applications (EPO Discharge, C100, C2s)
Medical and legal records, jurisdictional defences, public record contradictions
A complete Statement of Truth, indexed cover sheets, and LiP declaration
Supporting documentation detailing targeted safeguarding misuse during live litigation
The bundle was transmitted to court and relevant state actors, including Westminster and the U.S. Embassy. All correspondence was formally redirected through SWANK.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

The EPO was issued without lawful cause, proportionality, or procedural integrity.
Safeguarding mechanisms have been manipulated to shield agencies from reputational damage.
A disabled U.S. citizen was targeted mid-litigation, not due to risk — but because she resisted.
Multiple state agents knowingly withheld corrective actions while escalating coercive control.
The response was not just disproportionate. It was choreographed.

III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because Emergency Protection Orders are not tools for retaliation theatre.
Because filing a 100+ page evidentiary bundle within 72 hours of unlawful seizure is not just legal competence — it is aesthetic vengeance.
Because silence from state actors when confronted with truth is not neutrality. It’s consent.
And because SWANK does not observe. SWANK intervenes — archivally, legally, historically.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989, §44 — Misuse of emergency powers without risk-based evidence
Equality Act 2010, §§6, 20, 149 — Discrimination and failure to adjust for disability
ECHR, Art. 8 — Interference with family life under false authority
Human Rights Act 1998, §6 — Breach of duty by public bodies
GDPR/DPA 2018, Art. 5 — Procedural concealment and inaccurate record use

V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t an intervention. It was an ambush wrapped in stationery.
We do not accept orders filed faster than facts.
We do not accept safeguarding used to suppress litigation.
We do not accept Westminster’s strategic ineptitude masquerading as concern.
What was issued on 23 June was not protection. It was reputational retaliation.
And what followed on 26 June — was evidentiary ruin.

Chromatic v. Procedural Evasion [2025] SWANK 11

⟡ Case Management Hearing: July 2025 ⟡
“Naturally, I’ll be attending. I authored the evidence.”

Filed: 29 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/FAMILYCOURT/HEARING-CONFIRM
📎 Download PDF – 2025-06-29_Case_Management_Hearing_Confirmation_11_July_2025_Submissions_Pending.pdf
Litigant-in-person confirms attendance; five bundles pending. Court notified — as courtesy, not request.

I. What Happened
On 29 June 2025, Polly Chromatic (litigant-in-person, director of SWANK London Ltd) issued formal confirmation of her attendance at the Case Management Hearing scheduled for July 2025 at 10:00am, Central Family Court, Royal Courts of Justice. The message, dispatched to institutional addresses with punctilious precision, declared forthcoming submission of five meticulously constructed bundles, including international filings. A medical exemption was restated — not requested.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Judicial process has been pre-empted by the procedural sophistication of the litigant.
Repetition of accommodation demands evidences system fatigue, not applicant failure.
SWANK’s submissions arrive structured, footnoted, and indexed — unlike the court’s responses.
Authority is not derived from robes or title but from clarity, preparation, and relentlessness.
The litigant is conducting this case with more rigour than the institutions ever offered.

III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because when institutions presume chaos, order is political.
Because a disabled mother delivering five separate bundles while under pressure is not just litigation — it’s jurisprudential theatre.
Because this system was built for gatekeeping, not grace.
Because SWANK is not waiting for justice to catch up with its own calendar.
And because every polite reminder is now formal notice.

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010, §20 – Repeated failure to honour medical exemptions
Article 6, ECHR – Systemic impediment to fair and accessible proceedings
Family Procedure Rules 2010, Pt. 1 & 4 – Failure to uphold just case management

V. SWANK’s Position
The Court has been notified. The record has been set. The bundles are in production.
This wasn’t a confirmation. It was a curtsy withheld.
We do not accept silence rebranded as impartiality.
We do not accept erasure packaged as oversight.
We do not accept amateurish inefficiency from those who claim authority.
What we document, we archive.
What we archive, we escalate.

Re: The Doctrine of Contactless Safeguarding

⟡ Re: The Doctrine of Contactless Safeguarding ⟡
A measured repudiation of the theory that procedural opacity equals protection.

Filed: 1 July 2025
Reference: SWANK/ROYALCOURTS/CONTACT-REASSERTION
📎 Download PDF – 2025-07-01_StatementOfPosition_ContactRightsReassertion.pdf
Position statement reasserting lawful contact rights and repudiating contrived allegations of refusal.

I. What Happened
Between 23 June and 1 July 2025, the applicant’s four U.S. citizen children were removed under an Interim Care Order. Despite repeated formal offers to engage in supervised contact compliant with safeguarding standards and disability accommodations, the local authority instead devised ad hoc arrangements lacking lawful notice, clarity, or basic procedural coherence. This statement was filed to document that no refusal of contact ever occurred—and that the procedural confusion was exclusively institutional in origin.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That the mother has demonstrated consistent, documented willingness to participate in lawful, supervised contact.
That offers of contact were constructed in a manner more reminiscent of ambush than due process.
That disability accommodations, consular protections, and medical continuity were again omitted from all proposals.
That the suggestion of parental non-engagement is a rhetorical flourish unsupported by any credible evidence.
That the institutional habit of rebranding procedural defect as parental hostility is a form of reputational laundering.

III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because clarity in the evidentiary record matters when institutions prefer innuendo to fact. Because the right to contact is not contingent upon deference to defective processes. Because any suggestion that contact has been refused must be archived—and contradicted—on the public record.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989 (Section 34: Duty to promote and facilitate contact)
Article 8 ECHR (Right to family life—subjected to administrative erosion)
Equality Act 2010 (Failure to provide disability accommodations)
Vienna Convention (Consular rights of U.S. citizen children)

V. SWANK’s Position
This was not safeguarding. It was the orchestration of procedural confusion as a substitute for lawful engagement.
We do not accept the quiet normalisation of contact denial reframed as parental refusal.
We will document every occurrence—precise, immutable, and unimpressed.

Chromatic v. The Cult of Unexamined Files

⟡ In re: The Jurisprudence of Evidentiary Saturation ⟡
An exhaustive compilation demonstrating that truth can be buried beneath the sheer weight of institutional disregard.

Filed: 1 July 2025

📎 Download PDF – 2025-07-01_SupportingEvidence_ZC25C50281.pdf
Supporting evidence index: a dossier of medical records, procedural timelines, and forensic documentation unheeded by the state.

I. What Happened
Over two years, the applicant compiled a meticulous evidentiary archive detailing medical diagnoses, trauma histories, procedural sabotage, and institutional harassment. Despite filing thousands of pages of sworn documentation, the response from the safeguarding authorities was an unbroken litany of either tactical silence or patronising deflection. This compilation stands as a monument to the proposition that quantity of evidence is irrelevant when the state prefers not to look.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That the applicant has furnished more clinical and procedural proof than most public inquiries.
That no volume of corroboration can penetrate an institutional apparatus committed to predetermined outcomes.
That the statutory obligations of child welfare were subordinated to the bureaucratic imperative of reputational self-preservation.
That trauma documentation was treated as an inconvenience rather than a mandate for action.
That the right to be heard was reduced to a purely ceremonial exercise.

III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because the evidentiary record deserves the same respect the children never received. Because the ritual of ignoring documentation is the hallmark of procedural theatre masquerading as child protection. Because the archive itself is now the only locus of accountability in a system that prefers erasure to remedy.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989 (Duty to safeguard welfare—repeatedly subordinated)
Article 3 ECHR (Prohibition of degrading treatment—documented extensively)
Article 8 ECHR (Right to family life—ignored despite forensic corroboration)
Equality Act 2010 (Disability discrimination—proven in the record)

V. SWANK’s Position
This was not safeguarding. It was the curatorial dismissal of lived reality, accomplished with the bureaucratic serenity of a system that never intends to acknowledge the harm it causes.
We do not accept the aesthetic of “insufficient evidence” when the evidence has been filed tenfold.
We will document every iteration—permanently, contemptuously, unimpressed.

Emergency notice documenting medication non-disclosure and escalating clinical negligence.

I. What Happened
On 23 June 2025, four children with medically diagnosed asthma were removed under an Emergency Protection Order. No medication accompanied them, no clinician was identified, and no disclosure has been made to confirm whether their prescriptions were ever provided. For over a week, their primary caregiver has been met with a silence so absolute it would impress a medieval order of contemplative monks.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That statutory duties of medical continuity were treated as optional ceremonial flourishes.
That the known respiratory vulnerabilities of the children were ignored with a bureaucratic serenity bordering on nihilism.
That no paediatric assessment, asthma action plan, or basic clinical protocol has been confirmed.
That this sequence of omissions represents not an accident, but a culture of procedural apathy elevated to doctrine.

III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because the right to life and health is neither theoretical nor contingent upon institutional convenience. Because the aesthetic of “we will look into it eventually” is an insufficient remedy to life-threatening risk. Because every instance of medical abandonment must be chronicled with a formality commensurate to the danger it imposes.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989 (Duty to safeguard and promote welfare—casually disregarded)
Article 3 ECHR (Freedom from degrading treatment—systematically impaired)
Article 8 ECHR (Right to family life—administratively suspended)
Equality Act 2010 (Failure to accommodate disability)
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (Articles 6 & 24—healthcare as a non-negotiable entitlement)

V. SWANK’s Position
This was not safeguarding. It was clinical abandonment, artfully disguised by bureaucratic solemnity.
We do not accept the quiet normalisation of healthcare omission.
We will document every act—scrupulously, permanently, unimpressed.

📎 Download PDF – 2025-07-02_Objection_SocialWorkAssignment.pdf
Formal objection to further social work assignments on grounds of institutional retaliation and compounding trauma.

I. What Happened
Between 2023 and 2025, a succession of social workers cultivated a climate of unrelenting procedural hostility, culminating in the forcible removal of four children on 23 June 2025. In the aftermath, every overture for redress was met with the same anesthetised condescension: bureaucratic platitudes in place of accountability. This statement marks the moment when participation in the theatre of state benevolence became both impossible and clinically contraindicated.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That statutory oversight, when unrestrained by evidence or proportionality, becomes indistinguishable from persecution.
That trauma was not an unfortunate byproduct of intervention, but a predictable and repeatable consequence.
That a litany of procedural and disability accommodations were treated as optional footnotes.
That each further contact request from Westminster Children’s Services was a prelude to renewed psychological injury.
That the right to family life cannot be meaningfully exercised under perpetual siege.

III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because there is no jurisprudential virtue in allowing the same institutional actors to compound their original harm. Because the lexicon of “safeguarding” is routinely weaponised to obscure a continuum of state-inflicted damage. Because there comes a point when evidentiary saturation requires no further apology, only an archive.

IV. Violations

Article 8 ECHR (Right to private and family life—systematically impaired)
Article 3 ECHR (Freedom from degrading treatment—persistently ignored)
Equality Act 2010 (Disability discrimination and failure to accommodate)
Children Act 1989 (Child welfare subordinated to procedural convenience)

V. SWANK’s Position
This was not safeguarding. It was retaliatory oversight performed with the moral certainty of a state that no longer troubles itself with proportionality.
We do not accept the conceit that repeated traumatisation is an inevitable side-effect of legal compliance.
We will document every performance—uncompromising, unimpressed, and unbowed.

📎 Download PDF – 2025-07-02_Statement_ReunificationRequest.pdf
Formal statement repudiating the practice of forced removal by bureaucratic fiat and sustained indifference.

I. What Happened
On 23 June 2025, four clinically fragile children were extracted from their home by state actors wielding an Emergency Protection Order as both shield and cudgel. In the subsequent eight days, their mother was granted precisely zero details regarding their location, health, or psychological status. Contact was not merely denied; it was relegated to the realm of administrative afterthought.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That a legal instrument designed for acute crisis was reimagined as a convenient mechanism for indefinite disappearance.
That medical and psychological continuity were treated as quaint notions rather than statutory imperatives.
That procedural dignity was supplanted by the unhurried spectacle of official silence.
That each day of separation inflicted compounding harm, meticulously ignored in service of bureaucratic comfort.
That Article 3 and Article 8 ECHR were cited only in the abstract, never honoured in practice.

III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because when public bodies behave as though accountability is optional and transparency a courtesy, documentation becomes the last jurisdictional safeguard. Because every instance of forced estrangement in procedural drag warrants its own archival indictment. Because polite euphemisms do not obscure the lived reality of state-imposed abandonment.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989 (Section 34: Statutory duty to facilitate and promote contact)
Article 3 ECHR (Prohibition of degrading treatment—breached with habitual finesse)
Article 8 ECHR (Right to family life—curated into oblivion)
Equality Act 2010 (Failure to adjust for disability in proceedings)

V. SWANK’s Position
This was not safeguarding. It was bureaucratic sequestration performed with the aesthetic of solemn competence and the substance of indifference.
We do not accept the reduction of children’s welfare to an administrative inconvenience.
We will document every performance—relentlessly, elegantly, and with due contempt.

Urgent application demanding the restoration of contact with medically vulnerable children.

I. What Happened
On 23 June 2025, four American children were extracted under an Emergency Protection Order. In the ensuing days, no contact was arranged, no updates were provided, and no evidence was offered that the children’s asthma or trauma histories were being addressed. Repeated requests were met with bureaucratic indifference so absolute it felt almost avant-garde.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That the state can remove children with startling alacrity and then simply fail to remember them.
That procedural formalities were performed with all the conviction of a damp cravat.
That prolonged medical discontinuity was treated as a regrettable footnote, rather than a safeguarding catastrophe.
That contact was neither refused nor arranged—merely suspended in a fog of institutional absentmindedness.

III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because the default posture of “We’ll tell you nothing, indefinitely” is not child protection. Because the systemic failure to distinguish between necessary intervention and performative opacity is not merely error—it is structural contempt. Because every precedent of unchallenged separation deserves a polished record of objection.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989 (Section 34: Duty to promote contact)
Article 8 ECHR (Right to family life)
Article 3 ECHR (Freedom from degrading treatment)

Formal submission documenting the Interim Care Order enabling unsupervised international relocation of four U.S. citizen children.

I. What Happened
On 23 June 2025, an Interim Care Order was issued that conferred upon Westminster City Council the extraordinary licence to remove four medically vulnerable American children from the United Kingdom for an entire month—without parental consent, transparency, or any prospect of contemporaneous judicial oversight. This Order, conferred in the tranquil atmosphere of procedural routine, was in effect a diplomatic and human rights bypass granted under the auspices of child protection.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That the legal mechanisms for safeguarding were transformed into a logistical authorisation for forced transnational disappearance.
That no credible assurances were provided regarding the children’s medical care, trauma mitigation, or preservation of U.S. citizenship protections abroad.
That disability accommodations were not merely omitted but systematically disregarded, with bureaucratic composure.
That the doctrine of “best interests” was invoked as a talisman to justify what, in any other context, would be recognised as extrajudicial relocation.
That institutional convenience was prioritised above international legal obligations and the children’s identity as foreign nationals.

III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because a nation-state that retains the prerogative to disappear children across borders under interim orders is one that has abandoned the pretext of proportionality. Because the quiet, unexamined normalisation of such practices constitutes the most refined expression of procedural arrogance. Because there must be a permanent record that this was not a consensual process but a sovereign act of unilateral dispossession.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989 (Section 38: Proportionality and necessity—irreparably compromised)
Article 3 ECHR (Prohibition of degrading treatment—subsumed under administrative convenience)
Article 8 ECHR (Right to family life—abrogated in the name of efficiency)
Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (Article 36—right to diplomatic protection of foreign nationals)
Equality Act 2010 (Disability discrimination—chronic and unremedied)

V. SWANK’s Position
This was not safeguarding. It was cross-border erasure conducted under the ceremonious imprimatur of judicial propriety.
We do not accept the aesthetic of lawful procedure when it is deployed to authorise international disappearance.
We will document every precedent—punctilious, contemptuous, and unimpressed.

Self-represented litigant’s scorched-earth statement on procedural anarchy.

I. What Happened
On 23 June 2025, four American children were abruptly removed from their mother’s care by an Interim Care Order bestowed in absentia—without her knowledge, representation, or the courtesy of a functioning Guardian. Medical continuity evaporated. Everyone smiled thinly.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That a hearing occurred without the mother or any serious attempt to accommodate her disabilities.
That the children’s documented medical vulnerabilities were filed under “miscellaneous.”
That procedural safeguards were performed with the theatrical enthusiasm of a damp napkin.
That this was not a safeguarding action but a bureaucratic experiment in speed and opacity.

III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because this episode distills a recurring motif: the state’s tendency to conflate “urgent protection” with “expedient dispossession.” Because unchallenged removals become precedent, and precedent becomes architecture. Because no archive should be too polite to call it what it is.

IV. Violations

The Children Act 1989 (Section 44: Emergency Protection Orders—procedural compliance)
Equality Act 2010 (Section 20: Reasonable adjustments for disabled litigants)
Article 8 ECHR (Right to respect for private and family life)

V. SWANK’s Position
This was not safeguarding. It was procedural theatre—performed without rehearsal, script, or regard for the actual humans in the front row.
We do not accept the normalisation of hasty removal orders, nor the aesthetic of “it’s too late to question it now.”
We will document every occurrence—velvet contempt intact.

Supplement to N244 Application highlighting escalating trauma and medical neglect.

I. What Happened
On 23 June 2025, four asthmatic children were seized under an Emergency Protection Order, spirited away without plan or continuity, and effectively placed in communicative exile. For more than a week, their mother—having supplied ample clinical and trauma documentation—was afforded no updates, no contact, and no reassurance. The institutional response was a silence so cavernous it bordered on performance art.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That a statutory intervention was imposed with the procedural delicacy of a thrown brick.
That the children’s medical and psychological vulnerabilities were not simply overlooked but actively disregarded.
That each passing day of state-sanctioned estrangement compounded the clinical and emotional risk.
That “safeguarding” was invoked as a slogan, never a substantiated practice.
That such indifference, when systematised, becomes an instrument of degradation rather than protection.

III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because a seven-day lacuna in care and contact is not a clerical accident—it is the logical end stage of bureaucratic self-importance untempered by evidence or compassion. Because the rhetorical invocation of “the child’s best interests” cannot disguise the legal and ethical dereliction this silence represents. Because in twenty years’ time, no one should be permitted to claim they didn’t know.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989 (Section 34: Right to contact and duty to promote contact)
Article 3 ECHR (Freedom from degrading treatment)
Article 8 ECHR (Right to respect for family life)
Equality Act 2010 (Failure to accommodate disability)

V. SWANK’s Position
This was not safeguarding. It was custodial oblivion, refined by inaction.
We do not accept the normalisation of procedural disappearance.
We will document each occurrence—punctilious, unrepentant, and unimpressed.

Position statement cataloguing disability discrimination, procedural breaches, and retaliatory removal.

I. What Happened
On 23 June 2025, four U.S. citizen children were removed from their mother by an Interim Care Order conferred in absentia. The applicant, medically incapable of safe attendance, had repeatedly requested written communication and accommodations for her disabilities—Eosinophilic Asthma, Muscle Dysphonia, and PTSD—requests which were met not with compliance but with procedural expedience. A Children’s Guardian was unavailable; instructions were solicited from an uninvolved professional. The ensuing process resembled not a hearing but a ceremony of predetermined dispossession.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That safeguarding powers were mobilised as a reactive stratagem shortly after civil litigation was filed.
That the applicant’s disabilities were disregarded with a composure only possible when the procedural optics are more important than the legal substance.
That four children were subjected to abrupt removal without a credible transition plan for medical, psychological, or emotional safety.
That the Guardian function was reallocated by convenience, eroding the neutrality essential to legitimacy.
That each procedural shortcoming was treated as a tolerable imperfection rather than a systemic failure.

III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because no family court should be permitted to confuse ceremony with substance. Because the habit of procedural disregard is not a quirk of administration but an architecture of harm. Because there must be a record—meticulous, unflinching—of the disparity between lawful process and institutional theatre.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989 (Sections 1 and 34—paramountcy of welfare and contact)
Article 8 ECHR (Right to family life—routinely suspended)
Article 3 ECHR (Freedom from degrading treatment—breached by indifference)
Equality Act 2010 (Failure to accommodate disability)
Family Procedure Rules (Requirements of fairness and participation)

V. SWANK’s Position
This was not safeguarding. It was procedural theatre rendered with the conviction of actors who know no one will critique the script.
We do not accept the aesthetic of due process as an alibi for unexamined harm.
We will document every performance—implacable, unimpressed, and jurisdictional.
