An Archive of ✦ Elegance, ✦ Complaint, ✦ and Unapologetic Standards
from a Mother Harassed by the State in Two Countries for Over a Decade.
The Incident at 2 Porchester Gardens
A Visit from Samira (and her mother)
On 21 February 2024, Samira Issa, a social worker for Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, turned up unannounced to my home outside her jurisdiction—in Westminster—with her unidentified mother in tow. This was supposedly in response to a safeguarding referral from Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, citing vague “erratic behaviour” and “intoxication” during an asthma emergency.
🪞 Except—there was no erratic behaviour.
There was no intoxication.
And Samira refused to speak during the entire visit. Her mother spoke instead. A woman I’ve never met. Never been introduced to.
They did not ask about the hospital concerns.
They questioned my children about homeschooling.
They came not to assess risk—but to perform a state theatre of surveillance.
🎥 I documented the entire interaction. The footage is archived here:
📼 And here’s the original audio from the hospital visit that triggered their retaliatory referral:
Timeline of Email Evidence:
From 8 February – 21 February 2024, I was repeatedly harassed via email while acutely ill with asthma. Despite documented communication disabilities, they insisted on verbal meetings. Despite previous social work closures, they claimed “new concerns”—which were in fact recycled allegations from hospital staff who are now under complaint.
I clearly stated:
✦ I was ill.
✦ I could not speak.
✦ I had legal representation.
✦ I was filing a complaint.
And yet they came.
Not to help—but to surveil.
Not to assess—but to stage compliance.
My Formal Complaint to Glen Peache
Director of Family Services at RBKC
I have notified:
✦ Local Safeguarding Children Partnership advisors
✦ Senior NHS officials
✦ Detective Chief Inspectors
✦ Lead nurses and safeguarding heads
✦ Cabinet Members for Children’s Services
✦ Headteachers of schools never attended
Because this is not a mistake.
It is a patterned misuse of power,
disguised as care.
✷ Final Word
When social work masquerades as protection, but functions as punishment, it is no longer a public service—it is a public harm.
I do not comply with performative safeguarding.
I do not consent to unlawful visits.
And I do not remain silent while my children are interrogated
for being educated, loved, and safe—in a home the state cannot control.
