1-Line Summary: Westminster’s own email admits contact obstruction, placement instability, and Romeo’s protective instincts — then blames him for it.
I. What Happened
On 14 July 2025, Kirsty Hornal of Westminster Children’s Services sent an email explaining that contact would not proceed that morning. She cites:
Unconfirmed schedules
Carer placement difficulties
Romeo’s protective behaviour as disruptive
Despite a court-ordered mandate for three in-person contacts per week (issued 11 July 2025), Ms. Hornal cancelled the Monday contact due to “last-minute” issues — shifting blame onto the child, while purporting concern.
Notably, Kirsty writes:
“Regal is taking his role as a big brother very seriously… this has led to Regal questioning or undermining the carers.”
Her conclusion?
That Regal’s care and protective instincts are a problem — and the local authority will now control his education and social schedule to “make sure the placement is working.”
II. What This Establishes
Westminster’s conduct reveals:
Breach of Court-Ordered Contact
No video or in-person session occurred on 15 July 2025 despite advanced requests.Manipulative Framing of Child’s Attachment
Romeo’s emotional loyalty is reframed as interference.Punitive Educational Control
The “enhanced education and support offer” reads as institutional pacification — not child-led support.Ongoing Emotional Interference
Romeo’s bonds with his siblings and mother are pathologised and suppressed under false pretext.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because this is what emotional harm looks like in bureaucratic prose.
Westminster’s ability to couch placement dysfunction, schedule failures, and contact breaches in language that feigns empathy — while punishing children for loving each other — is precisely what SWANK was built to document.
This is not child protection.
This is state sabotage of sibling stability.
IV. Violations
Article 8, ECHR – Right to private and family life
Children Act 1989, s.34 – Parental contact
UNCRC, Article 12 & 9 – Child participation and family unity
FPR Rule 4.1 & 16.2 – Judicial enforcement and fair representation
V. SWANK’s Position
You don’t get to delay contact, blame the child, then call yourself a protector.
SWANK considers this email to be admissible evidence of obstruction, manipulation, and retaliatory framing of a minor’s lawful familial bonds.
If Regal’s protectiveness destabilises the placement, then the placement is unfit.
