“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.

I Had to Write the Constitution Back to the People Who Forgot It

 πŸ“œ SWANK Dispatch: When Human Rights Must Be Petitioned to Protect Children from the State

πŸ—“️ 15 July 2020

Filed Under: human rights petition, social work abuse, illegal medical examination, lawful homeschooling, systemic trauma, constitutional breach, public health endangerment, procedural failure, retaliation for complaints


“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 CommissionPolly 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.


🧾 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.


πŸ“… 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.”


🧠 IV. Fundamental Rights Violated

  • πŸ›‘ Right to Life

  • πŸ›‘ Protection from Inhuman Treatment

  • πŸ›‘ Right to Private and Family Life

  • πŸ›‘ Protection of Religion, Conscience, and Health Standards

  • πŸ›‘ Right to Education

  • πŸ›‘ Protection from Discrimination

  • πŸ›‘ Lawful Administrative Action

This isn’t accidental.
This is a pattern of procedural contempt.



I Went to Report Abuse — They Told Me I Was the Criminal

 πŸ“‘ SWANK Dispatch: How to Mismanage a Complaint into a Threat

πŸ—“️ 6 August 2020

Filed Under: complaint misdirection, truancy lies, homeschool sabotage, procedural dishonesty, trauma minimisation, asthma discrimination, policy weaponisation, investigative misconduct


“I brought evidence. They brought back the original threat — with new stationery.”
— A Mother Who Tried Every Proper Channel

On 6 August 2020Polly Chromatic met with Willette A. Pratt, Senior Investigative Officer of the Complaints Commission, expecting an investigation into her trauma and systemic abuse by the Department of Social Development. What she received was an administrative boomerang: the original truancy threat from 2017 — revived, rebranded, and hurled back at her by the very commission meant to hear her complaint.


πŸ” I. The Complaint Was About Trauma. The Response Was a Checklist.

She described the following:

• Her sons were sexually abused by a doctor under state orders.
• Her fence was dismantled.
• Her home was entered illegally during a pandemic.
• She was dragged to hospital under false accusations.

What did Willette Pratt say?

“Your children aren’t approved for homeschool, and they may be taken away.”


πŸ“‹ II. The New Requirements — Delivered with a Smile

Pratt claimed Polly had spoken to the wrong official in 2017.
Apparently, Mark Garland, Deputy Director of Education, was not “senior enough.”
Despite having:
✓ Met with her
✓ Approved her curriculum
✓ Notified Social Development

Now, she was told to:

• Re-submit all documentation
• Include proof of social interaction
• Hire a teacher to assess her children annually
• Address it to Edgar Howell, Director
• Send it through Pratt (of course)


🧠 III. The Gaslight Was Institutional

“I feel like the entire issue is much bigger than just with the Department of Social Development.”

Indeed. The Complaints Commission had become another arm of the same dysfunction. Rather than investigating the abuse, it pivoted to treating the victim as the problem.


⚖️ Final Position:

“Because obtaining homeschool approval is so important for my children’s well-being… I feel it is necessary to consult an attorney.”

A mother filed a complaint to protect her children.
She left that meeting more endangered than when she arrived.



I Asked for the Policy in 2017. I’m Still Waiting in 2020.

 πŸ“š SWANK Dispatch: When Approval to Homeschool Is Weaponised Against You

πŸ—“️ 5 August 2020

Filed Under: homeschool sabotage, administrative gaslighting, social worker overreach, truancy threats, institutional memory failure, medical abuse, policy denial, bureaucratic cruelty


“I was approved. I submitted everything. But they kept moving the goalpost.”
— A Mother in Compliance, Not Complicit

In this dispatch dated 5 August 2020Polly Chromatic finally directs her words to the actual Director of Education, Edgar Howell, after three years of being bounced between Mark GarlandMr. Kennedy, and the Department of Social Development — all of whom demanded documentation, received it, and still continued to threaten her family with unlawful action.

What she asked for was simple.
What she received was state-fuelled trauma.


πŸ—‚️ I. Homeschool Policy? She Asked in 2017.

Polly’s BA and MA degrees were submitted.
She submitted her curriculum every year since 2017.
She had verbal approval from Mark Garland, who confirmed it in writing.

Yet in 2020, she’s told:

“You spoke to the wrong person.”

No policy was ever provided.
But truancy threats were. Repeatedly.


🚨 II. Institutional Harassment in Lieu of Lawful Process

Let us catalogue:

• May 2017: Her sons were sexually assaulted during a forced examination by a doctor in front of 9 adults — under the orders of Social Development
• March 2020: Her home was entered against her will and against COVID Emergency Powers
• August 2020: Her fence was dismantled and her children were forcibly taken for a vaccination check (they were vaccinated)

No reports. No charges. No apologies. Just more visits.


⚖️ III. The Complaint Became the Crime

When she contacted the Complaints Commission, she was told:

“You’re not approved to homeschool and they may take your children.”

Thus, the very act of filing a complaint resurrected a false allegation she had resolved three years earlier — a tactic as coercive as it is cruel.


πŸ“Ž Final Request, Made Clear:

“Please provide me with written approval to homeschool along with the policy and procedures that I need to follow.”

What she deserves: a written policy.
What she demands: lawful treatment.
What she gets: recycled threats dressed as safeguarding.
