⟡ SWANK Archive: The Referral That Looped into Madness ⟡
8–18 February 2024
The Pattern Is the System, Not the Mother.
I. Opening Salvo: A Referral Based on Nothing New
Chelsea & Westminster Hospital made a redundant referral concerning the 2 January 2024 incident at St Thomas’ Hospital—an event already disclosed and documented.
On 8 February 2024, RBKC social worker Samira Issa emailed Polly Chromatic requesting a phone call.
“I was hoping we could discuss this over the phone.”
Polly’s response was swift, documented, and legally grounded:
“Please refrain from contacting me again... I cannot communicate via phone... I am disgusted with your continued harassment.”
She confirmed:
Legal representation had been retained
A formal harassment complaint had already been filed
II. The Cycle Repeats—While They Claim It Doesn’t
9 February 2024
Samira responds:
“I have read [your previous emails] all.”
“Would you be able to meet with me in person?”
She claims the referral concerns a “separate incident”, yet provides no new information.
The tactics remain unchanged:
Verbal coercion disguised as support
Asthma-based communication boundaries ignored
Pretending written refusals are unclear
Polly replies again:
“Nothing new has happened and I do not have time.”
“Call a lawyer.”
III. The Surveillance Visit, and the Escalation by Samira
By 13 February, Samira admits to an unauthorised visit:
“We visited your last known address to see if you and the children were residing there.”
A refusal to speak becomes grounds for home surveillance.
No legal threshold. No due cause. No warning.
Then she asks:
“Can you confirm where you are currently living?”
Despite already knowing.
Despite having just been there.
Despite violating trust and triggering retraumatisation.
IV. The Legal Yet Exhausting Closure
18 February 2024
Polly responds:
“We will be available at 4pm Wednesday 21st February.”
This is not consent.
It is closure by exhaustion.
The location was provided. The file was closed—again.
This was never a safeguarding concern.
This was a reputation-maintenance ritual.
