“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

Position statement establishing Polly Chromatic’s lawful right to apply for child arrangements under Section 10


I. What Happened

On 23 June 2025, Polly Chromatic’s four U.S. citizen children were removed from their home under an Emergency Protection Order. No documentation was served. No court hearing was attended. No parent was consulted.

In response, the applicant submitted a full set of family law applications, including:

  • C100 for residence and contact

  • C2 applications on behalf of two trusted carers

  • Supplementary filings affirming jurisdiction, diplomatic implications, and procedural breaches

This statement confirms that the mother — a parent with parental responsibility — holds automatic standing under Section 10(4) of the Children Act 1989. Yet she was required to defend her entitlement as though it were up for negotiation.


II. What the Statement Establishes

  • Parental status and visa-based UK residency

  • Section 10(4) standing to apply without permission

  • Justified C2 support for extended family with close caregiving ties

  • Evidence of procedural denial and obstruction by the local authority

  • A pattern of contact suppression through coercive structuring


III. Why SWANK Logged It

When a legal mother with full parental rights must plead for recognition in her own children’s case, something is broken.

This filing forms part of the wider evidentiary framework documenting:

  • Jurisdictional chaos

  • Coercive procedural practices

  • The bureaucratisation of maternal instinct

It is not a request. It is a legal correction.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – Section 10(4), Section 10(9)

  • Article 8 ECHR – Right to family life

  • UN Convention on the Rights of the Child – Respect for parental role

  • Vienna Convention – Consular obligations during foreign national removal


V. SWANK’s Position

No mother should have to reapply for her own motherhood.
No foreign citizen should have their parental rights erased by procedural silence.
SWANK affirms: parental standing is not earned through compliance — it is asserted through truth.
