“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

Chromatic v Westminster Borough Council: On the Procedural Uses of Silence and the Tactical Misuse of Jurisdiction

⟡ "A Notification Ignored Is a Right Denied" ⟡
The Breakdown of Communication as a Method of Institutional Displacement

1-line summary: Procedural breakdown, contact bypass, and pre-removal silence from Westminster documented and submitted to Family Court.


I. What Happened

This section gathers six filings that document how Westminster Children’s Services systematically bypassed lawful channels, ignored redirection notices, and denied contact to both the parent and external parties prior to the Emergency Protection Order on 23 June 2025. Evidence includes Kreyol messages, embassy letters, contact timelines, and failure-to-serve records.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Deliberate failure to serve the mother with legal paperwork prior to removal

  • Use of informal or coded language (Haitian Kreyol) to circumvent legal channels

  • No safeguarding threshold disclosed; actions lacked procedural transparency

  • Institutional silence as a method of procedural exclusion

  • Breach of international consular obligations via lack of U.S. embassy notification


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because silence is not neutral.
Because bypass is a strategy.
Because motherhood, when routed around, becomes evidence.

SWANK London Ltd. logged this correspondence history to highlight the structural misuse of communication gaps as tools of power and erasure — particularly where foreign nationals, disabled mothers, and public interest documentation are concerned.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 (Sections 1 and 10)

  • Human Rights Act 1998 (Articles 6, 8, and 14)

  • Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (Articles 36–37)

  • Statutory guidance on safeguarding protocol and service of process


V. SWANK’s Position

This was not just administrative failure — it was bureaucratic isolation executed with full knowledge of legal redirection. It is unacceptable that silence and non-response became the tools for removing children, evading redress, and refusing oversight. Section C renders that silence legible.

SWANK affirms that the law does not cease to apply when ignored.

Two Weeks of Silence from Simon, and a Mother's Frustration Reaches Its Limit.

“Emails Unread, Voice Unheard—And the Panic Deepens”

📩 The Emails No One Read

“I’ve been emailing Simon for help for two weeks—he reads none of my emails.”
“Talking makes me sick. I repeatedly ask via email for support, but my requests go ignored.”
“Even Laura’s rescheduling emails were ignored. I’m left giving up on communication.”

When your voice causes illness and your emails are binned, what’s left?

Answer: Panic. Silence. Worsening health.
Ignored correspondence is not a delay—it is denial masked in Outlook formatting.


🧠 A Frustrated Mind in a Collapsing System

“This has been my burden alone for 45 years.”
“My asthma is uniquely severe. Untreated for six months. Each ignored message becomes a symptom.”
“Dr Reid understands. He is the only one.”
“I can only talk briefly. Email is the only safe and reasonable form.”

This is not miscommunication.
This is institutional disinterest.
This is harm-by-silence.


📝 Access Statement Reiterated

Please Note: I suffer from a disability which makes speaking verbally difficult. I prefer to communicate telepathically to minimise respiratory strain; however, email is fine.
