“You threatened to take my children
despite the fact that I submitted my curriculum.
But when a doctor exposed them
in front of nine adults,
you didn’t even file a report.”
— A Mother Who Has Survived State Surveillance in Multiple Countries

---

This letter to Willette A. Pratt, Senior Investigative Officer at the Complaints Commission, outlines a catalogue of procedural violence by the Department of Social Development (DSD), including:

• Sexual abuse of her sons at the National Hospital by a doctor during an unconsented “safeguarding” exam

• Multiple unannounced visits and forced interrogations with no explanation

• Illegal property entry, including dismantling her fence

• No reports ever given, violating legal and ethical obligations

🧠 I. Bureaucracy Over Trauma

Despite the trauma:

• The family was told their homeschooling wasn’t approved

• They were declared truant

• The mother was threatened with child removal unless she submitted:

  • Written homeschool request

  • Curriculum

  • Child ages

  • Her qualifications

  • Socialisation evidence

  • An annual teacher assessment

All of this after the Department had acknowledged her homeschooling approval in 2017 through Mark Garland.

---

🧬 II. A Mother’s Timeline of Survival

The letter gives a concise migration history that highlights her effort to protect her family:

• Moved between the USA, Grand Turk, Providenciales, and London to escape trauma

• Survived robbery, housing collapse, deportation separation, mould exposure, and state harassment

• Homeschools four children in the face of constant obstruction

---

🧾 III. What She Asked For

• Direct communication from Edgar Howell at the Department of Education

• A transparent copy of the homeschool policy

• Respect for the agreement made with Mark Garland

• Legal clarity and consistency

---

SWANK Summary:

She was following the rules.
They kept changing the rules.
And now they want to punish her
for surviving what their systems inflicted.

19 Charges, Zero Reports — The State vs. One Mother With a Voice

 📢 SWANK Dispatch: Complaint Filed, System Indicted — A Maladministration Portfolio

🗓️ 1 July 2020

Filed Under: maladministration, forced medical exams, fence dismantling, complaint escalation, racial and philosophical discrimination, policy evasion, procedural breakdown, institutional retraumatisation

---

“If this is child protection, then tell me: who’s protecting them from you?”
— A Mother with a Legal Mind and an Asthmatic Lung

In this formidable submission to Mrs. Astwood of the Complaints Commission, dated 1 July 2020, Polly Chromatic brings a meticulously itemised formal complaint against the Department of Social Development in Grand Turk.

Not a grievance.
A case file.
Backed by documents, medical records, witness statements, and 19 grounds of maladministration.

Let us recount.

---

⚖️ I. Charges of Maladministration Include:

1. Unnecessary delays

2. Bias

3. Negligence

4. Improper procedures

5. Wrongful decisions

6. Improper service

7. Discourtesy

8. Performance failures

9. Discrimination (race, sex, age, education, parenting philosophy)

10. Harassment

11. Corruption

12. Abuse of power

13. Flawed internal processes

14. No justification for decisions

15. Lack of humane consideration

16. Unfairness

17. Incompetence

18. Arbitrariness

19. Mistake of law or fact

No exaggeration.
Each charge is backed by incident.

---

🔪 II. Physical and Emotional Violations

• May 2017: Her three sons were sexually assaulted on a hospital table by a state-appointed doctor under police and social work supervision.
• August 2019: Her fence was dismantled. Entry forced. No probable cause.
• COVID-19: Social workers entered against Emergency Powers, without masks, with no legal basis, despite her severe asthma.
• September 2019: Social workers hijacked her son’s birthday to interrogate the family over a fabricated vaccination claim.

Not a single one of these incidents was followed up with a report, a review, or an apology.

---

📚 III. Homeschooling as the Original Sin

Though approved by Mark Garland of the Ministry of Education, her choice to homeschool her children seems to have been the original offence in the eyes of the Department.

What followed was years of:

• Policy shifting
• Approval denial
• Truancy threats
• Investigations without cause

All while she submitted annual curricula, proof of education, and sought transparent cooperation.

---

🧠 IV. What She Asks for Is Not Vengeance — But Standards

She doesn’t want revenge. She wants:
• Communication
• Appointments
• Reports
• Due process
• Policy compliance
• Respect for her health and boundaries
• Consideration for her children’s dignity

---

💬 Final Words:

“Your assistance in investigating and resolving this matter would be extremely beneficial for my family as well as the public sphere.”

A citizen wrote a legal document.
A mother documented 3 years of unrelenting injustice.
SWANK now holds the archive.

Polly Chromatic Formally Rejects RBKC’s Liability Denial, Asserts Council's Statutory Housing Duties, and Demands All Internal Complaint Records

Filed: 11 March 2025
Reference: SWANK/RBKC/EMAIL-10

Summary: Polly Chromatic issues a final written rebuttal to RBKC’s denial of liability, arguing statutory duty under housing law and demanding internal records and a route to escalation.

---

I. What Happened

This document, dated 11 March 2025, is a comprehensive rebuttal to Giuseppe Morrone’s liability denial and includes:

– A direct statement that RBKC’s power vs. duty argument is legally incorrect
– A list of five formal requests, including all internal records, complaint trails, and escalation instructions
– An explicit challenge to the attempted separation of harm and complaint
– A 14-day notice for further action: SAR, ombudsman complaint, and legal escalation
– Language asserting personal injury, emotional distress, and pet loss due to council inaction

---

II. What the Record Establishes

• Polly is notified and opposing the liability denial in writing
• She asserts the statutory obligation under the Housing Act and Environmental Protection Act
• The request for all internal documentation becomes part of the procedural audit trail
• The Council is put on notice of legal escalation and public oversight
• The letter uses legal tone and formatting, marking it as both advocacy and evidence

---

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is what clarity sounds like after a denial.
Because when power hides behind policy, the archive reminds it what law looks like.
Because this letter is the formal line in the sand — and SWANK files the lines that become court timelines.

SWANK archives every refusal that demanded a stronger reply — and every reply that escalated the fight.

---

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that harm can be administratively reclassified to avoid liability.
We do not accept that housing enforcement is optional when the air is toxic.
We do not accept that powers without duties mean families suffer without recourse.

This wasn’t just a rebuttal. It was a procedural declaration.
And SWANK will archive every time the archive reminded the Council it could read the law.

Polly Chromatic Demands Clarification from RBKC on Which Complaint Was Denied and Reasserts the Council’s Duty to Regulate Landlord Neglect

Filed: 11 March 2025
Reference: SWANK/RBKC/EMAIL-08
📎 Download PDF – 2025-03-11_SWANK_Email_RBKC_Morrone_ClarificationDemand_SewerGasLiabilityDispute.pdf
Summary: In response to RBKC’s vague liability denial, Polly Chromatic demands clarity on which sewer gas complaint the rejection refers to and reasserts the council’s housing enforcement duty.

---

I. What Happened

Following a liability denial from RBKC’s Giuseppe Morrone, Polly Chromatic replied on 11 March 2025 requesting:

– Confirmation of which complaint was being addressed
– The relevant reference number and details
– Clear instructions on how to escalate beyond Stage 1
– A reaffirmation that the Council does in fact have regulatory duties, even if the landlord owns the property
– An invitation to resolve the matter through transparent, documented communication

---

II. What the Record Establishes

• RBKC issued a non-specific rejection without naming the exact complaint
• Polly demanded specificity — which creates a paper trail of ambiguity on their end
• The duty of the Council to enforce standards was reasserted
• The document signals an intention to escalate, which is key for judicial or ombudsman review
• It confirms that the Council’s communication failures are part of the procedural harm

---

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because a vague denial is no denial at all.
Because “which complaint?” should never be a question the victim has to ask.
Because this letter is the record of a demand for procedural clarity — and a refusal to be gaslit into silence.

SWANK logs every clarification request they forced you to send — and every silence that followed.

---

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept vague rejections as lawful responses.
We do not accept that oversight of landlords is optional when the gas leak kills the air.
We do not accept that silence on escalation routes is anything but obstruction.

This wasn’t confusion. It was deliberate procedural fog.
And SWANK will document every sentence you had to write to get an answer.
