“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

It v CAFCASS, The Professional Sleepwalk



CAFCASS, Are You Awake?

A Fragrant Addendum on the Failure to Notice Distress, Read Journals, or Do Literally Anything


Filed: 4 August 2025
Reference Code: CAF–DISTRESS
PDF Filename: 2025-08-04_Addendum_CafcassUrgency_EmotionalDistressAndSiblingProtection.pdf
Summary: CAFCASS is placed on ceremonial notice: the children are crying, bleeding, and afraid — and your silence is now part of the record.


I. What Happened

Prerogative cried. Regal bled.
They both tried to speak.
The room got quieter.
Three adults stood in surveillance formation while the boys crumpled under the weight of their own withheld testimony.

And CAFCASS?
No visit. No interview. No intervention. No visible movement of any kind.

This is not child welfare. This is dignified abandonment.


II. What This Addendum Establishes

That CAFCASS — the court-appointed guardian of children’s best interests — has:

  • Witnessed emotional collapse and said nothing

  • Received handwritten disclosures of violence and done nothing

  • Seen the siblings separated, silenced, supervised, and surveilled — and opted for polite indifference

No amount of jargon will un-cry Prerogative’s tears.
No procedural excuse will erase the blood on Regal’s knuckles.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because what Prerogative needs is not another observer.
What Regal needs is not another file note.
And what the law needs is not another institution waiting for permission to protect children already sobbing in plain sight.

This is not a request. It’s a timestamp on your silence.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – breached in the eyes, the voice, the bruised hand

  • UNCRC Articles 3, 12, 19 – neglected while pretending to advocate

  • CAFCASS Operating Framework – now available in a dusty drawer, untouched

  • Common sense – fully suspended pending further bureaucracy


V. SWANK’s Position

SWANK formally reminds CAFCASS that child protection is not a spectator sport.
You are not here to witness despair and call it safeguarding.
You are here to act. To speak. To interrupt harm.
And as of this filing, you have done none of the above.

If your role is to represent the child’s voice — then read the one he wrote.
If your task is to prioritise welfare — then ask why their eyes look different now.
And if you call yourselves guardians — then guard something.

Polly Chromatic v The Kingdom of Administrative Amnesia



The Bundle They Didn’t Read – A Judicial Summary in the Kingdom of Neglect

Polly Chromatic v The Art of Doing Nothing, ft. Four Children, a Journal, and a Country in Denial


Filed: 5 August 2025
Reference Code: JSUM–REUNIFICATION
PDF Filename: 2025-08-04_SWANK_JudicialSummary_EPOFraud_Reunification.pdf
Summary: A legal tour de force served with perfect formality to a court pretending not to see. This is not a request. It is a judicial reminder.


I. What Happened

A mother filed a bundle.

Not just any bundle — a symphony of documents so complete, so irrefutably lawful, and so narratively irate, that to ignore it would be to confirm every claim she made:

  • A false Emergency Protection Order

  • Court misrepresentation of litigant status

  • Emotional and physical trauma of four children

  • NHS-confirmed referral fraud

  • Institutional retaliation via contact centre surveillance

  • A social work fiction so carelessly plotted it collapsed in the evidence


II. What the Judicial Summary Establishes

That everything currently being done to these four dual U.S.–UK citizen children is:

  • Legally unjustified

  • Morally untenable

  • And procedurally unsustainable

It also makes clear that their mother — Polly Chromatic — has:

  • Filed for contempt

  • Filed for discharge

  • Filed to stop contact suppression

  • Filed against false solicitor listings

  • Filed against forced sibling separation

  • Filed with full medical, police, and international documentation

All of this is in the bundle. All of this is ignored by the court at its peril.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when the system pretends your filings don’t exist, you post them anyway.
When your children are surveilled for crying, you cry louder — on paper, in court, and in public.

And when the legal system takes your dignity, you take back the record.


IV. Violations

  • ECHR Article 8: violated

  • Children Act 1989: ignored

  • UNCRC Articles 3, 12, 19: bypassed

  • Equality Act 2010: only invoked when convenient

  • Judicial integrity: cc’d to a man who was fired


V. SWANK’s Position

This Judicial Summary is not a courtesy.
It is a procedural mirror — clean, lawful, admissible, and damning.

Any delay from this point onward constitutes:

  • Negligence

  • Obstruction

  • And a compounding harm to children whose trauma has been formally notified and publicly archived.

The UK has no excuse. The Court has no excuse. The bundle has been filed.

Now the question is: will they pretend they didn’t read it, or will they act?

Chromatic v Westminster: On the Futility of Appeasement Following State-Sanctioned Child Seizure



⟡ SWANK Evidentiary Catalogue

Filed date: 21 July 2025

Reference Code: SWANK-FV-WCC0623
PDF Filename: 2025-07-21_SWANK_Declaration_Westminster_NoAppeasement.pdf
1-Line Summary: Westminster cannot repair what they have done — they will be held accountable until justice for the children is achieved.


I. What Happened

Let us be absolutely clear: there is nothing Westminster can do to appease me at this point. The threshold for reconciliation was obliterated the moment they harmed my children.

This is not a dispute.
It is a reckoning.

On 23 June 2025, five police officers — with full support from Westminster Children’s Services — stormed our home and forcibly removed four U.S. citizen children from the only safe, medically monitored, and emotionally attuned environment they had ever known.

They did not pause to consider:
– the children's diagnosed asthma,
– the trauma of being separated from their mother,
– the absence of lawful grounds for such a violent intrusion.

It was not protection.
It was an ambush.

My children experienced the worst possible event imaginable — and Westminster sanctioned it with silence, with arrogance, and with procedural deceit.

There is no excuse for Westminster's lack of maturity.  


II. What the Statement Establishes

This is no longer about appeals, discussions, or good faith cooperation.
This is escalation.

Escalation into every tribunal, every chamber, every court.
Escalation into diplomatic corridors, oversight agencies, international rights bodies, and — if necessary — every page of public history.

Westminster has long misunderstood the scale of their error.
They assumed I was one mother.
They forgot I am also a mechanism.

A procedural intermediary.
A federal rights advocate.
And now, an author of the record they will one day be forced to answer to.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because my children have not been allowed to speak —
So I will.
Because my children have not been allowed to feel —
So I will.

Because the fear that Westminster inflicted on them deserves a public, elegant, and irreversible response.

They created this archive.
I simply filed it.


IV. Violations

  • Article 8 ECHR – Unlawful interference with private and family life

  • Children Act 1989, Section 22 – Failure to consider welfare and voice of child

  • Equality Act 2010 – Ignored disability accommodations and safeguarding history

  • UNCRC Articles 3, 7, 9, 12, 19, 23, 24, 39 – Systematic violation of child rights

  • Common Law Misconduct – Abuse of public authority without accountability

  • Wilful Neglect – Failure to prevent foreseeable harm during seizure

  • Harassment and Retaliation – Ongoing procedural targeting of a protective mother


V. SWANK’s Position

This is not repairable.
No apology will be accepted.
No compromise will be reached.
No soft diplomacy will dilute the trauma my children endured.

It is now time for Westminster to feel what they refused to feel on 23 June —
Fear, consequence, and exposure.

This post is not vengeance.
It is jurisdictional memory.

You cannot take my children and expect silence.
You cannot harm a family and expect stillness.

We escalate.

Because you did.

You Called It an Exam. My Sons Called It Abuse.



⟡ SWANK Complaint Archive: Medical Abuse Series ⟡

“Nine Adults, One Table: The Day Safeguarding Became Spectacle.”
Filed: 8 November 2020
Reference: SWANK/CTMC/TCI/MEDICAL-ABUSE-2017-2019
📎 Download PDF – 2020-11-08_SWANK_CTMC_Complaint_MedicalAbuse_SafeguardingViolation_TCI.pdf


I. It Wasn’t an Exam. It Was a State-Orchestrated Violation.

On an unnamed day between 2017 and 2019, a disabled mother and her sons were summoned to a clinic in Grand Turk. They were told it was procedural. It was safeguarding. It was concern.

What followed was a coerced genital inspection:

  • Conducted under threat

  • Surrounded by state agents

  • With police and social workers nodding and watching, and Dr. Antrieve Benjamin presiding over a theatre of humiliation

This wasn’t protection.
This was punishment — in latex gloves.


II. What the Complaint Documents

  • Three boys, lined up for coerced genital inspection without medical need

  • One child dragged from under a chair and forcibly examined

  • Another asked about circumcision status by a non-consensual examiner

  • A fabricated rationale ("abuse concerns") applied post-facto — with no prior trigger or referral

  • Psychological trauma, institutional betrayal, and archival silence

No one intervened.

Because everyone was complicit.


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because the phrase “for their own good” has become the institutional cloak of abuse.

Because when the state says “safeguarding,” it often means silencing.

Because no one else will name it what it was:

  • Not welfare

  • Not medical care

  • Not oversight

Ritualised degradation masquerading as concern

This document is not for closure.
It is for record.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not allow medical abuse to pass as routine.
We do not redact the names of state-paid participants.

We do not write euphemistically about trauma.
We preserve it — precisely, coldly, and in PDF.

Let the record show:

They assembled nine adults.
They performed a spectacle.
They breached bodily sovereignty under bureaucratic guise.
And now, it’s permanent — because we filed it, not because they apologised.

This wasn’t safeguarding.
This was state-sanctioned voyeurism.

They Lied to a Disabled Child. Four Were Withdrawn.



⟡ SWANK Educational Abuse Record ⟡

“The School Called It Safeguarding. We Call It Abuse.”
Filed: 21 May 2025
Reference: SWANK/ISLINGTON/DRAYTON/2025-05-21
📎 Download PDF – 2025-05-21_SWANK_DraytonParkComplaint_Islington_SafeguardingAbuse_DisabilityWithdrawal.pdf


I. They Lied to a Disabled Child. So Four Were Withdrawn.

On 21 May 2025, SWANK London Ltd. filed a formal complaint against Drayton Park Primary School and Islington Council, documenting a safeguarding incident that was not protective, but predatory.

The incident:

  • Targeted a child with a documented disability

  • Fabricated a concern in order to isolate and interrogate him

  • Misrepresented medical information

  • And ignored lawful communication adjustments already on file

This was not concern.
It was coercion.


II. What the Complaint Documents

  • A false safeguarding claim invented without threshold

  • Unlawful contact with a vulnerable child, conducted without parental knowledge or consent

  • Emotional harm to the child — including visible confusion, stress symptoms, and fear of speaking

  • Total breakdown of trust across educational staff, prompting the full withdrawal of four children

The complaint identifies this not as a mistake, but a pattern:

Using safeguarding to punish refusal. To police disability. To silence complaint.


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because educational safeguarding is not above the law.
Because abuse does not become care simply by being entered into a database.
Because harm dressed in procedure is still harm.

We filed this because:

  • The child’s diagnosis was ignored

  • The mother's written-only adjustment was bypassed

  • The entire family’s medical and legal security was destabilised by a single lie

  • And Islington Council failed to intervene — not due to confusion, but design

This complaint exists because the system gambled on silence.
It lost.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not allow schools to weaponise safeguarding as disciplinary revenge.
We do not permit councils to supervise lies in lieu of learning.
We do not sacrifice children to public relations.

Let the record show:

The school acted without cause.
The council permitted it.
The children were withdrawn.
And now, the archive holds the evidence.

This isn’t just a school incident.
It is an institutional failure.
And now it’s timestamped, recorded, and indexed — by us.

The Law Says I Get a Copy — So Why Am I Still Asking?

 📜 SWANK Dispatch: You’ve Had 3.5 Years to Investigate. Where’s the Report?

🗓️ 15 July 2020

Filed Under: unlawful investigation, DSD misconduct, homeschool discrimination, failure to provide report, TCI legal breach, safeguarding abuse, sexual abuse by doctor, AG request for intervention, Ashley Forbes inaction, complaint ignored


“Three and a half years.
Still no report.
Still no reason.
Still harming my children
while claiming to protect them.”

— A Homeschooling Mother Still Waiting for the Law to Apply to Her Family


In this formal letter to Attorney General Rhondalee Braithwaite-KnowlesPolly Chromatic requests urgent legal advice and intervention. After 3.5 years of ongoing harassment by the Department of Social Development (DSD) in Grand Turk, and a sustained refusal to issue a legally required report, she is calling on the highest legal authority to enforce compliance with the law.


⚖️ I. The Legal Breach

Turks and Caicos law — specifically the Children (Care and Protection) Ordinance, 2015, Section 17(6) — states that a report must be provided to:

  • The parent of the child, and

  • The child, if 12 or older and capable of understanding

Unless there is a clear danger or pending criminal investigation — neither of which applies in her case.

And yet:

No report has ever been provided.
No legal justification has been given.


🧸 II. The Harm Documented

  • The case began with bias against homeschooling, despite approval from Mark Garland in 2017

  • Her children experienced:

    • Sexual abuse by a doctor at the National Hospital

    • Emotional and psychological harm from repeated unjustified inquiries

  • Communications with Ashley Adams-Forbes have gone unanswered

  • A complaint to the Complaints Commissioner was also ignored


🧑‍⚖️ III. What She Asked the Attorney General

  • Legal advice on how to compel DSD to comply with statutory law

  • Action from the AG to enforce Section 17(6)

  • Oversight to halt the prolonged harassment


SWANK Summary:

She followed the law.
They followed her.
And now — she’s asking the Attorney General
to follow through.

How a Mother’s Medical Emergency Became a Pretext for State Intrusion

 🚨 SWANK Dispatch: I Was Nearly Dead — They Called My Kids Orphans and Searched My House

🗓️ 18 October 2021

Filed Under: medical trauma, asthma emergency, unlawful search, child interrogation, disability discrimination, intellectual exploitation, emergency protocol abuse, family rights violation, safeguarding weaponisation, Grand Turk misconduct


“I was in respiratory collapse.
The police arrived asking if I’d eaten.
Then they called my children orphans,
searched my house,
and grilled my 12-year-old
while I was nearly in a coma.”

— A Mother Taken by Ambulance While Her Children Were Traumatised by the State


This formal letter from Polly Chromatic to attorney Mark Fulford outlines a devastating series of human rights violations following a medical emergency on 14–15 October 2021. While Polly was suffering a life-threatening asthma attack, social workers and police used her absence to invade her home, interrogate her children, insult her husband, and threaten family separation.


🧬 I. A Medical Crisis, Not a Crime Scene

  • Noelle, in severe respiratory distress, was taken by ambulance after nebuliser treatments failed

  • Police arrived without masks, asking irrelevant questions about food while she was unable to breathe

  • Children watched in horror as their mother was stretchered away


🧑‍👦 II. What the State Did to Her Family

  • Called her children "orphans" while she was alive and receiving care

  • Referred to the father as unfit, despite his intellectual disability and efforts to cooperate

  • Searched the house without permission, with no adult present

  • Removed children and forced them to ride alone with a social worker without explanation

  • Fed them allergens, worsening their asthma

  • Asked irrelevant, psychological questions like:

    • “Do you bathe?”

    • “Do you like your mom?”

    • “Do you like being homeschooled?”

  • All this while failing to ask if they were okay or offer any reassurance


🚫 III. Abuse of Power Under Medical Pretext

“They forced their way into my hospital room. They violated every boundary. And they tried to turn a crisis into a case.”

The social worker and officers treated the kitchen counter — not the emergency — as the priority.
Rather than assist, they chose to investigate, punish, and traumatise.


⚖️ IV. What Noelle Demands

  • Restraining order against the Department of Social Development

  • Compensation for years of state-inflicted trauma

  • Legal action against both the social worker (Miss Godet) and police (Officer Taylor and others)

  • Public accountability for the violation of medical ethics, legal rights, and child protection principles


SWANK Summary:

She couldn’t breathe.
They couldn’t care.

She was fighting for her life.
They were planning how to punish her for surviving.
