⟡ A Formal Letter to the Department of Education After Years of Harassment Over Lawful Homeschooling
IN THE MATTER OF: The Right to Educate, the Abuse of Authority, and the Extraordinary Harm Caused by Not Reading the Policy Before Making a Threat
⟡ METADATA
Filed: 5 August 2020
Reference Code: SWANK-TCI-EDUCATION-HOMESCHOOLING-DENIAL
Court File Name: 2020-08-05_Court_Letter_TCI_EducationDept_HomeschoolingDenial_AbuseSummary
Summary: This letter, sent to Edgar Howell (Director of Education, Turks and Caicos), is a formal, cutting response to three years of escalating threats, false truancy accusations, and unlawful safeguarding actions — despite full compliance with a legal homeschool arrangement approved since 2017. The letter recounts sexual abuse by hospital staff, illegal property entries, fabricated vaccination concerns, and the failure of multiple departments to read the actual legislation. It ends, with composed sarcasm, by asking for the very policy they claim was never followed — even though it was never provided.
I. What Happened
In June 2017, Polly Chromatic (then known as Noelle Bonneannée) met in person with Deputy Director Mark Garland and submitted her curriculum, degrees, and intent to homeschool. This was done with the full understanding that Garland was the correct authority. She continued submitting documentation yearly.
Despite this, she was:
Accused of truancy in public by a truancy officer yelling at her in a grocery store
Repeatedly visited by social workers without reports or legal reason
Forced to submit her children to invasive hospital “examinations” — including genital inspection
Subjected to warrantless entry, even during COVID lockdown, in violation of emergency laws
Blamed for not speaking to “the right person” despite having never been told who that was
Threatened again in 2020, three years after full compliance, with having her children taken
II. What the Complaint Establishes
That no policy was ever provided, even after direct request
That the Department of Education and Department of Social Development coordinated unlawful threats
That social workers fabricated medical concerns (non-vaccination) and used them as pretext for repeated trauma
That the Complaints Commission acted not as a mediator, but a fresh source of coercion
That officials repeatedly shifted blame rather than acknowledge a departmental failure to document or communicate correctly
That the family’s trauma is not incidental — it is the direct result of bureaucratic laziness and safeguarding theatre
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because this letter proves that even in the face of institutional incompetence, the mother followed every rule. Because asking for “the policy” after three years of harassment is not a formality — it’s a slap in the face. Because “talked to the wrong person” is not a legal defence. Because no one should have to endure forced sexualised exams of their children while the department argues over who was CC’d. Because safeguarding without records is not oversight — it’s an excuse to trespass.
IV. Violations
Failure to provide written homeschool policy or legal process
Accusation of truancy despite full compliance
Sexual assault of minors in clinical setting without lawful grounds
Warrantless entry during a national pandemic
Threats of removal based on bureaucratic blame-shifting
Retaliatory conduct under the guise of safeguarding
Procedural negligence at the Department of Education, Social Development, and the Complaints Commission
V. SWANK’s Position
We log this document as a formal indictment of every public official who forgot how laws work. SWANK London Ltd. affirms:
That providing documentation in 2017 should not result in threats in 2020
That truancy cannot be claimed when no policy was ever disclosed
That trauma inflicted during “examinations” cannot be undone with apologies
That when a mother is asked to be both the educator and the administrator, the state has failed
And that the most dangerous thing about safeguarding misuse is not the action — it’s the delusion of authority without law
