I. What Happened
On 30 June 2025, following the forcible removal of four medically vulnerable U.S. citizen children by UK authorities, I sent an emergency diplomatic notice to the U.S. Embassy in London.
The letter was:
Clear
Time-sensitive
Legally structured
And accompanied by a previous court filing documenting medical neglect
The embassy's response?
“You will not receive a reply to this email.”
Instead, I was directed to a generic online form. No case was opened. No consular welfare check was confirmed. No human replied.
II. What the Letter Documented
The communication detailed:
Emergency asthma risk following removal on 23 June
Lack of medication provision or confirmation
Ongoing civil litigation and procedural retaliation
Immediate need for consular welfare oversight for four U.S. citizens
This was not a parent’s plea. It was a formal cross-border safeguarding alert.
III. What the Embassy Did
The Embassy:
Did not log a consular alert
Did not confirm receipt
Did not contact Westminster
Did not contact the family court
And did not engage any duty protection officer
Instead, they implemented a new email system and auto-erased the crisis.
IV. Why SWANK Logged It
Because abandonment can be digital.
Because silence can be institutional.
Because a government’s failure to act can be timestamped.
This auto-reply was not harmless — it was procedural disavowal at its most bureaucratically hygienic.
The embassy did not fail to see. It chose not to look.
V. SWANK’s Position
SWANK London Ltd. recognises the Embassy’s non-response as:
Consular neglect
Breach of diplomatic duty to citizens abroad
Failure to act on lawful medical disclosures involving minors
The archive now contains:
The original letter
Evidence of automated deferral
And public record of the United States declining to engage in the safety of its own children
We are not outraged.
We are simply… archiving.
