“You have not treated us fairly. You have not protected our lives.
You have broken the law, and called it care.”
— A Mother Who Petitioned the Human Rights Commission with a Timeline Longer Than the Pandemic
In this ten-page letter to the Human Rights Commission, Polly Chromatic lays bare 3.5 years of sustained abuse by the Department of Social Development, escalating from unwanted visits to medical assault — all under the guise of safeguarding. With statutes cited, timelines presented, and health risks documented, this is not a complaint.
It is an indictment.
π§Ύ I. The Legal Core
Section 17(6) of the Children (Care and Protection) Ordinance, 2015
States that parents must receive a written report of any investigation.
Status: Not once. Not ever.
Emergency Powers (COVID-19) Regulations, 2020
Restricted entry into private residences except under clear emergency or essential worker capacity, with ID.
Status: Breached on 26 March 2020.
Education Ordinance, 2009
Recognises homeschool as a valid educational path with Ministerial approval.
Status: Approval granted — then ignored by every other department.
⚠️ II. Documented Harms
Sexual assault of her sons during forced hospital exams in front of 9 adults (2017)
Repeated home invasions, including fence removal (2019)
Property defacement, neighbour violence, and threats
Medical instructions from a doctor contradicting UK NHS guidance
Emotional abuse, gaslighting, and repeated interruptions of homeschooling
All while suffering from severe eosinophilic asthma — a condition that makes every uninvited visit a potential death sentence.
π III. The Timeline of Lawbreaking
2016–2020: Dozens of interventions, no reports
2017: Approval to homeschool granted by Mark Garland
2017–2020: Truancy threats continue regardless
2020: COVID violations escalate with visits during lockdown
“They questioned my compost toilet.
They never questioned whether their actions were lawful.”
π§ IV. Fundamental Rights Violated
π Right to Life
π Protection from Inhuman Treatment
π Right to Private and Family Life
π Protection of Religion, Conscience, and Health Standards
π Right to Education
π Protection from Discrimination
π Lawful Administrative Action
This isn’t accidental.
This is a pattern of procedural contempt.
