“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

The Abuse Was Real. The Records Are Not.



⟡ SWANK Supplemental Declaration to Counsel ⟡

A Forensic Dissection of Bureaucratic Amnesia
24 October 2020

She Remembered Everything They Forgot to Document


I. Opening Statement to Counsel

In a handwritten memorandum of facts, Polly Chromatic submitted to legal counsel a timeline the state dared not reconstruct—an evidentiary rebuttal to the court’s theatre of fiction. It included:

  • Gross misconduct by social workers and police during a May 2017 raid

  • The sexual assault of her sons by a female doctor, witnessed by nine adults

  • The exclusion of her daughter, raising questions of gender-based targeting

  • The laughable allegation of an “upstairs residence”—despite her living on the ground floor

The memory was intact. The receipts were precise. The state’s version was a bureaucratic ghost story.


II. Procedural Violations and Legal Incoherence

The state’s own confession:

“We do not have case records to confirm whether consent was sought or provided.”

Yet the medical examination occurred—under police escort.
With no consent.
On minor children.

Their fallback excuse?

“We couldn’t complete the investigation. The family had relocated.”

Correction:
The family relocated in November 2017six months after the incident, due to neighbour harassmentnot evasion.

The DSD had her number since 2016.
They simply never called.


III. Fabricated Timelines, Collapsed Logic

In 2018, DSD alleged they visited Polly at a home with no fence. No visit occurred. She was:

  • Housebound by illness

  • Never seen by social workers

  • Never challenged in person about education—because no one came

Yet in the September 2020 court report, events were lifted from reality, relocated in time, and reassigned in meaning, to cover for their own procedural decay.

This is not miscommunication.
This is legal cosplay.


IV. On Homeschooling and Psychological Control

Polly stated it plainly:

“As long as my children are learning what they need to learn, they cannot dictate to me how to educate my children.”

Her pedagogy was digitalaccelerated, and intentional. The Department’s critique was not educational—it was psychological retaliation.

A notebook check is not a curriculum review. It is a surveillance performance.
They accused her of isolation, while simultaneously demanding the children be kept indoors during school hours—denying the family’s lifestyle, rhythms, and cultural time.

“We get up at 4am and start school. We go to bed at 4pm.”

A truth too alien for a 9–5 imagination.


V. The Evidence They Can’t Handle

  • The August 2019 visit – fully video recorded

  • Psychological evaluation – already completed, ignored in filings

  • Correct phone number – used by DSD repeatedly, yet court records listed a false one

This is not incompetence.
This is evidentiary sabotage.
This is strategic forgetting.
