“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.

Chromatic v Westminster: When Four Regulators Must Babysit One Local Authority



Notification of Regulatory Escalation


Metadata

  • Filed: 19 August 2025

  • Reference: SWANK Addendum – Notification of Regulatory Escalation

  • Filename: 2025-08-19_Addendum_Notification_RegulatoryEscalation.pdf

  • Summary: Notice to Court and IRO that Westminster’s retaliatory safeguarding conduct is now subject to ICO, EHRC, Ofsted, and PHSO scrutiny.


I. What Happened

Having filed the Audit Retaliation Addendum and a Directions Request, the Applicant then lodged formal complaintswith four external regulators:

  • Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) – data misuse, secrecy, and procedural blackout.

  • Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) – systemic disability discrimination.

  • Ofsted – safeguarding malpractice and educational harm.

  • Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) – maladministration, retaliation, and bureaucratic cowardice.

The Court, the Independent Reviewing Officer, and the Local Authority have now all been notified.


II. What This Establishes

That Westminster Children’s Services can no longer posture as an untouchable bureaucracy.
That its actions of 23 June 2025 — a retaliatory Emergency Protection Order following an audit demand — are now in the hands of multiple regulators simultaneously.
That institutional self-protection has collapsed into institutional babysitting: four watchdogs and one Court, all required to supervise Westminster’s conduct.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because accountability is not a suggestion.
Because transparency does not wait for consent.
Because where Westminster feared one audit, they now face four investigations and a judicial record.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – EPO misuse contrary to welfare principle.

  • Article 8 ECHR – retaliatory family separation.

  • Equality Act 2010 – disability-based discrimination.

  • International Conventions – UNCRC, Hague, and UNCRPD breaches.


V. SWANK’s Position

Westminster must now reconcile itself to the fact that its misconduct is being read by four regulators, one judge, an IRO, and the public.
What began as an attempt to silence an audit has become an exercise in multi-agency humiliation.


Closing Declaration

This Notification Addendum is not merely a filing — it is a notice of collapse.
Where one regulator might be dismissed, four regulators converge.
Where Westminster sought to erase, we inscribe.

WE FILE WHAT OTHERS FORGET.
WE RESPOND WHERE THEY DON’T.
WE WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN.

In re Sewer Gas, Sunglasses, and the Art of Bureaucratic Amnesia (Polly Chromatic v Westminster)



👑 A Velvet Misdiagnosis

Or, Why Sewer Gas Isn’t a Parenting Style and Misreading Medical Files Doesn’t Count as Safeguarding


Metadata

  • Filed: 8 August 2025

  • Reference Code: SWANK/MEDCRISIS/WESTMINSTER/2025

  • PDF Filename: 2025-08-08_SWANK_Addendum_MedicalCrisis_SafeguardingNegligence.pdf

  • Summary: This addendum exposes how temporary illness was weaponised as false incapacity — and how Westminster turned a mother’s medical emergency into a bureaucratic custody fantasy.


I. What Happened

Between June 2023 and April 2025, the mother endured a life-threatening medical crisis: oxygen levels plummeted to 44% due to sewer gas poisoning. This was not a metaphor. This was toxic air in a rented flat — the kind of air that steals your breath and then, apparently, your children.

Instead of emergency respiratory support, St Thomas’ Hospital opted for fiction: they accused the mother of being intoxicated. They never corrected the record. And in the vacuum of clinical error, Westminster Children’s Servicesfound their opening.

Social workers arrived not with oxygen or care — but with harassment, surveillance, and zero willingness to engage with facts.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

This submission documents the following:

  • temporary but severe illness was used to mischaracterise long-term parenting capacity;

  • No clinical consultation or trauma-informed understanding was sought;

  • Brompton Hospital — the mother’s actual treating provider — was ignored;

  • The Local Authority escalated removal plans without offering any disability support;

  • And they did so while receiving written medical updates they simply refused to read.

This wasn’t child protection.
It was administrative revenge for daring to be ill in public.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because safeguarding isn’t a scavenger hunt for stigma.
Because disability misrepresentation is not care — it is violence.
Because four children were removed under a presumption that their mother’s asthma was parenting and her medical silence was guilt.

And because the phrase “sunglasses and isolation” has no place in serious safeguarding files unless you are investigating a jazz musician.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – s.22 (duty to work in partnership), s.31 (emotional harm), s.47 (threshold for intervention)

  • Equality Act 2010 – disability accommodation failures

  • European Convention on Human Rights

    • Article 8 – Family life

    • Article 6 – Fair process

  • UNCRC – Articles 3, 9, 12 (best interests, child voice, right to family)

  • Professional Duty Breaches – Failure to consult medical team, refusal to acknowledge written disclosures

  • SWANK Standard 1.0 – Do not remove children for being sick in a country that made them sick


V. SWANK’s Position

What Westminster called neglect was in fact asthmaexhaustion, and a misdiagnosis buried under silence.

No lawful authority can transform a sewer gas-induced emergency into lifelong parental incapacity — yet that is precisely what was attempted here. This is not safeguarding. This is State Fiction — a genre Westminster seems to be publishing in bulk.

The record stands:
Polly Chromatic was a mother surviving a severe illness, while still protecting, educating, and advocating for her children.
The harm came after that — from the ones who refused to read, to ask, or to help.

This post is filed into the SWANK Evidentiary Catalogue as a matter of record, international interest, and legal ceremony.

In re: Chromatic (Assessments), On the Fiction of Cooperative Consent



🪞COOPERATION IS NOT CONSENT

In which the mother participates without surrender, and the State’s baseless referrals are politely declined through procedural contempt.


Filed: 4 August 2025

Reference Code: SWANK-AUP-2025-08

PDF Filename: 2025-08-04_SWANK_Addendum_AssessmentsUnderProtest.pdf

Summary: Mother agrees to assessments under protest, affirming that participation does not ratify the illegality, falsehoods, or retaliatory basis of the safeguarding regime.


I. What Happened

After the unlawful issuance of an Emergency Protection Order on 23 June 2025 — initiated on false medical grounds now discredited by NHS Resolution — the Local Authority has proposed psychiatric, parenting, and other assessments.

Polly Chromatic has responded with poised precision:

Yes, I will participate.
No, I do not accept your premise.

This is not acquiescence. This is calibrated objection wrapped in procedural grace.


II. What This Filing Establishes

  • The Mother remains willing to participate in assessments for the welfare of her children

  • That cooperation is issued strictly under protest and without prejudice to her legal position

  • The assessments are tainted at origin, being derived from:

    • A false intoxication allegation (St Thomas’ Hospital, disproven)

    • Procedural retaliation

    • Discriminatory assumptions based on disability, nationality, and lawful dissent

SWANK affirms that no State process may launder its own misconduct through the veneer of maternal politeness.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when the State constructs an assessment based on falsified scaffolding, it deserves not compliance but annotated critique.

Because politeness is not submission, and cooperation is not complicity.

Because disabled mothers are not waiting for diagnoses — they’re waiting for apologies.

And because, as Bromley’s Family Law reminds us:

“Where safeguarding mechanisms are invoked without lawful consent or substantiated risk, assessments serve no protective function. They perform coercion by process.” (p. 640)


IV. Violations and Legal Framework

  • Article 6 ECHR – Right to a fair and lawful process

  • Article 8 ECHR – Right to family life and bodily autonomy

  • Children Act 1989 – Paramountcy of welfare

  • Equality Act 2010 – Discrimination based on disability and nationality

  • Common law proportionality – State action must be justified, not speculative


V. SWANK’s Position

To assess a parent based on a lie is not protection. It is theatre.
To offer a test where no threshold has been met is not safeguarding. It is humiliation.
And to interpret willingness as concession is not law. It is institutional gaslighting.

We do not refuse the process.
We refuse its fictional authority.

In re: Chromatic (Regal), On the Matter of the State's Fear of the Written Word



🪞REGAL’S TESTAMENT

Where the child becomes the chronicler, and the State looks away.


Filed: 4 August 2025

Reference Code: SWANK-RJ-2025

PDF Filename: 2025-08-04_SWANK_Evidence_RegalJournalBundle.pdf

Summary: A sixteen-year-old boy’s handwritten journal, smuggled out during court-ordered contact, lays bare the emotional attrition, silenced distress, and coercive absurdities imposed under state surveillance.


I. What Happened

During a supervised contact session on 1 August 2025, 16-year-old Regal — the eldest of four American children wrongfully removed under a false Emergency Protection Order — handed his mother a handwritten journal. It is now formally submitted as primary evidence. The entries reveal a pattern of coercion, psychological suppression, coded silence, and escalating despair.
He documents the emotional impact of the placement, the censorship imposed upon him, and the fear of punishment for telling the truth. Each page is a quiet scream, executed in ink.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

Regal’s words offer unfiltered testimony from a detained child whose expressive liberty has been obstructed by state mechanisms under the guise of safeguarding. This bundle constitutes direct evidence of:

  • Emotional trauma under contact restrictions

  • Fear of institutional retaliation

  • Suppression of digital, familial, and educational communication

  • Attempted autonomy via covert documentation

The handwritten account is supported by four police reports now submitted under references TAA-38016, TAA-38017, TAA-38018, and TAA-38034.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a child is compelled to journal in secret to express harm that no adult will record — that child is not “resistant.”
He is a witness.
And when the child’s truth is offered through trembling graphite and institutional silence follows, it becomes our duty to elevate it with forensic reverence.

SWANK exists to document what institutions discard — and Romeo’s journal is not a cry for help.
It is an evidentiary strike.


IV. Violations

This journal evidences potential breaches of:

  • Article 8 ECHR – Right to family life and private expression

  • UNCRC Article 12 – Child’s right to be heard in all matters affecting them

  • Children Act 1989 – Welfare paramountcy and safeguarding misuse

  • Equality Act 2010 – Disability and nationality-based discrimination


V. SWANK’s Position

Regal is 16 years old, asthmatic, American, and articulate.
His journal is a better safeguarding report than any written by the professionals responsible for his unlawful isolation.

This post serves as a formal archival registration and public declaration of his voice.
Where Westminster muted, Regal wrote.
Where Westminster censored, Regal chronicled.
Where Westminster fabricated, Regal recorded.
This is not a diary. This is deposition.

Chromatic v The Spectacle of State Overreach



👓 Polarised and Preposterous

Sunglasses, Steroids, and the Surreal Decline of Professional Reasoning in Modern Safeguarding


Filed Date: 29 July 2025

Reference Code: SWANK-ADD-0729-SUNGLASSES

Court File Name: 2025-07-29_Addendum_SunglassesUse_MedicalAccommodation.pdf

Summary: Westminster social workers declared sunglasses a safeguarding concern. Polly wears prescription polarised lenses due to asthma medication side effects and visual correction needs.


I. What Happened

In yet another entry for the annals of bureaucratic absurdity, Westminster Children’s Services has now identified sunglasses — yes, sunglasses — as a possible safeguarding risk. This bewildering assertion appears in internal justifications surrounding the state-sanctioned removal of my four children, following a cascade of institutional misinterpretations stemming from a misdiagnosed medical emergency.

I wear polarised, prescription sunglasses because I am on prednisone, a corticosteroid prescribed for severe eosinophilic asthma, which causes light sensitivity as a well-documented side effect. The sunglasses are not cosmetic. They are corrective, clinical, and — until now — entirely uncontroversial.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

This complaint does not merely catalogue yet another petty insult. It exposes the broader collapse of clinical literacywithin child protection frameworks. My sunglasses:

  • Correct farsightedness

  • Are polarised to mitigate light-triggered sensory strain

  • Are a direct response to steroid-induced photosensitivity

In other words: I can see better with them on, and feel less ill. That social workers have chosen to interpret this as concealment, manipulation, or pathology is not only farcical — it’s discriminatory.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

SWANK London Ltd. logs this episode as part of a growing evidentiary trend:
🪞Medical accommodations by disabled mothers are routinely rebranded as risk indicators.

This entry joins the master file of retaliatory safeguarding misuse, and has been formally submitted as an Addendum in Case No: ZC25C50281, refuting the suggestion that visual protection from light constitutes harm.


IV. Violations

This allegation reflects breaches of:

  • Equality Act 2010 – disability discrimination through failure to accommodate

  • Children Act 1989 – procedural distortion of risk analysis

  • Data Protection Act 2018 – misrepresentation in professional records

  • UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities – stereotyping health management as danger


V. SWANK’s Position

If this is what passes for safeguarding analysis in 2025 — then we are not in a welfare state, we are in a performance of concern.

Polly Chromatic is not a risk to her children because she wears sunglasses. She is a risk to the system because she writes everything down.

R (Chromatic) v Hornal: On Administrative Evasion, Legal Precision, and the Contact Schedule That Was Never Sent



🪞SWANK ENTRY
“This Is Not Confirmation”
On the Illusion of Responsiveness, the Absence of Lawful Contact, and the Weaponisation of Uncertainty


⟡ Filed Date:

15 July 2025

⟡ Reference Code:

SWANK/CONTACT/KH-NOCONFIRMATION

⟡ PDF Filename:

2025-07-15_SWANK_Addendum_KirstyHornal_ReplyRebuttal.pdf

⟡ 1-Line Summary:

Polly Chromatic replies with surgical clarity to Kirsty Hornal’s evasion of her legal duty to confirm contact.


I. What Happened

After Westminster Children’s Services failed — yet again — to confirm lawful contact arrangements for Polly Chromatic and her four children, a formal response was issued at 13:20 on 15 July 2025.

Ms. Hornal had attempted to appear cooperative by offering vague projections (“likely,” “in negotiation”), but notably provided no confirmed dates, no times, no platforms, and no clarity whatsoever regarding:

  • In-person contact for the mother

  • Video contact for the mother

  • Contact for the children’s grandmother

  • Contact for the children’s father

In response, Polly Chromatic issued a professional and legally aligned rebuttal — elegant in tone, devastating in substance.


II. What the Reply Confirms

  • Contact is not confirmed until specifics are provided

  • Speculation does not meet legal thresholds for clarity or reliability

  • All four children are U.S. citizens, and failure to facilitate contact may trigger diplomatic escalation

  • Delays continue to disrupt emotional stability and violate planning rights

  • This is not a clerical oversight — it is an ongoing obstruction pattern


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because not replying is obstruction, and replying without substance is worse.

Because a Local Authority cannot mask procedural failure with cordial phrases and vague timelines.

Because Polly Chromatic should not have to repeat the obvious: that contact is a legal duty, not a favour to be rationed.

We logged this reply because it captures the intellectual exhaustion of parenting under procedural aggression, and because it stands as a record of what the law requires — even when social services pretend otherwise.


IV. Violations Documented

  • Article 8 ECHR – Breach of family life by failure to confirm lawful contact

  • Children Act 1989 – Failure to implement court-mandated engagement

  • Disability Neglect – Ignoring the planning needs of a medically protected parent

  • International Diplomatic Interference – Denial of contact to U.S. citizens with no lawful cause

  • Procedural Evasion – Providing appearance of communication while avoiding substance


V. SWANK’s Position

Let the record show:
A polite deferral is not a lawful response.
A vague suggestion is not contact confirmation.
And administrative civility is not a shield against procedural violation.

We file this not simply to log what was said — but to assert, formally, that no valid contact arrangements exist as of 15 July 2025, and that this inaction now forms part of the broader case against Westminster for obstruction, alienation, and disability disregard.

R (Chromatic) v Hornal: On the Administrative Weaponisation of Silence and the Disruption of Family Contact



🪞SWANK ENTRY
“Refusal to Confirm Contact Schedule”
Bureaucratic Obstruction as Emotional Sabotage


⟡ Filed:

15 July 2025

⟡ Reference Code:

SWANK/CONTACT/KH-SILENCE

⟡ PDF Filename:

2025-07-15_SWANK_Addendum_KirstyHornal_NoContactConfirmation.pdf

⟡ One-line Summary:

Despite multiple requests, Westminster has failed to confirm any contact arrangements for the children.


I. What Happened

Despite repeated and clear requests sent directly to Kirsty Hornal, Westminster Children’s Services has failed to provide even the most basic information: when I am permitted to see or speak to my children.

The contact centre confirmed that in-person and video sessions are being discussed — but the social worker responsible for coordinating this contact, Ms. Hornal, has not responded with a schedule. Not for me. Not for the children’s father. Not for my mother. Not even for herself.

The result? I remain in the dark while my children are isolated under a so-called Emergency Protection Order that continues to function as emotional siege warfare disguised as safeguarding.


II. What the Silence Establishes

  • The Local Authority is unable — or unwilling — to facilitate contact in a manner consistent with due process, dignity, and child welfare.

  • Article 8 ECHR is once again treated as optional, rather than binding.

  • The emotional health of four U.S. citizen children is being deliberately destabilised by administrative inertia.

  • No formal communication has been provided regarding:

    • My in-person contact schedule

    • My video contact schedule

    • My mother’s contact

    • The children’s father’s contact from abroad


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because silence is not a neutral act.
Because withholding contact information is not a clerical error — it’s a strategy.
Because failing to notify a parent of their own contact rights is not just discourteous — it’s procedural cruelty.

We log it because the children’s attachments are being slowly eroded by adults who refuse to put pen to paper — and because Westminster appears more committed to controlling access than preserving connection.


IV. Violations

  • Breach of Article 8 (ECHR) – Interference with family life without justification or proportionality

  • Failure to facilitate ordered contact – In direct conflict with best practice and judicial expectation

  • Emotional Harm by Neglect – Psychological impact of silence, unpredictability, and separation

  • Disability Discrimination – Ignoring the medical needs of a mother who requires advanced notice and clarity to manage health logistics


V. SWANK’s Position

Westminster’s failure to confirm contact dates is not administrative oversight — it is a deliberate tactic of emotional estrangement.

We assert that:

  • Contact is not a gift — it is a right.

  • Schedules are not discretionary — they are mandatory.

  • And silence is not neutrality — it is obstruction.

We therefore issue this log not as a plea for compassion, but as a record of harm.
Because every day without confirmed contact is not just a delay.
It is an act of legal sabotage against family unity.

R (Chromatic) v Westminster: On the Misapplication of Section 17 and the Withdrawal of Support



Very Very Snobby Post No. 632.A

“We Were Statutorily Entitled to Help. They Gave Us Harm.”


Metadata

Filed Date: 13 July 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-A33-STAT632
Court File Name: 2025-07-13_Addendum_LocalAuthorityDuties_BreachOfSupport
Summary:
The Local Authority had a duty to provide support under s.17 of the Children Act 1989. Instead, it surveilled, punished, and abducted.


I. What Happened

Under Part III of the Children Act 1989, every local authority is placed under a general statutory duty to provide services to children in need and their families.

The law is not subtle.

It requires:

  • The promotion of emotional and physical wellbeing

  • Proactive family support, not surveillance

  • Coordination across agencies to ensure stability

None of this occurred in the case of Polly Chromatic and her four American children.

There was:

  • No s.17 assessment

  • No plan of support

  • No inter-agency collaboration

There was only:

  • Institutional escalation

  • Fabricated risk

  • Retaliation dressed up as concern

Instead of lawful help, the state offered harm — premeditated, performative, and punishable.


II. What the Law Says

Section 17(1) imposes a statutory duty to:

(a) safeguard and promote the welfare of children who are in need;
(b) promote their upbringing by their families, so far as consistent with their welfare.

A child qualifies as “in need” under s.17(10) if:

  • Their development is impaired without services

  • Their health is suffering

  • Or they are disabled

All four children qualified.
So did their mother.

Instead of complying, Westminster actively obstructed support:

  • Denied assessments

  • Rejected documentation

  • Coordinated defamation across agencies

  • Abused its discretion to manufacture grounds for removal

They didn’t just fail to comply with s.17.
They inverted it.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the law does not permit Local Authorities to rewrite their duties into discretionary whims.
Because support is a right, not a narrative twist.
Because Section 17 was not cited — because they knew they couldn’t meet it.

When I referenced legal precedent, they responded with removal.
When I sent them actual legal text, they fabricated chaos.

This is no longer about error. It’s about pattern.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, s.17(1), s.17(10) – No services provided, no assessment conducted

  • Children Act 2004 – Breach of expanded coordination duties

  • Equality Act 2010 – Disability discrimination, refusal of adjustment

  • ECHR Article 8 – Family life violated without necessity or support

  • UNCRPD Article 23 – Family integrity and disability rights undermined

  • DfE Guidance – Partnership duties erased in favour of post-justification


V. SWANK’s Position

We did not request sympathy. We required compliance.

This family was never assessed.
This family was never supported.
This family was punished for having needs — and punished again for knowing the law.

Section 17 is not symbolic.
It is statutory.
It is clear.

And this post is now part of the official SWANK Evidentiary Catalogue, to be entered into the Master Retaliation Timeline, the Local Authority Statutory Failure Index, and — if needed — the Court of Law That Actually Reads Things™.

To every authority who thinks silence can’t be cited:

Try again. We keep receipts — and legislation.

Chromatic v Westminster & RBKC On the Matter of Racial Safeguarding Harm and Post-Diagnosis Contact Retaliation



⟡ Ongoing Trauma, Medical Neglect, and Racial Safeguarding Harm ⟡

Filed under Velvet Retaliation & Statutory Indignation


Metadata

Filed: 8 July 2025
Reference Code: SWANK/N1/ADDENDUM/0725-08
Court File Name: 2025-07-08_Addendum_N1Claim_Discrimination_Trauma_MedicalNeglect.pdf
Summary:
A civil addendum evidencing medical neglect, racial erasure, and a decade-long pattern of trauma inflicted by Westminster and RBKC social workers.


I. What Happened

After over a decade of racially-coded intrusion, Westminster Children’s Services and RBKC have continued to enforce contact with social workers Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown — both named in my £88 million civil claim and public judicial filings.

Despite being furnished with psychiatric reports, cultural safeguarding requests, and documented objections, the Local Authority escalated its coercive strategies, dismissing documented trauma, dismantling homeschooling stability, and interrupting critical asthma care.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

This submission establishes:

  • Repeated racial and disability-based failures to accommodate

  • Medical neglect via cancelled appointments and obstructed care

  • Escalating trauma to both parent and child through state-led contact

  • Disregard for Section 149 of the Equality Act 2010 and basic clinical ethics

It underscores how the continued involvement of named social workers represents not only a personal retraumatisation, but a structural act of procedural violence against a medically fragile, culturally marginalised family.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

SWANK London Ltd. logged this to record a pattern of:

  • Public sector racial indifference

  • Cultural erasure masked as safeguarding

  • Chronic disbelief in asthma diagnoses despite hospital corroboration

  • The deliberate weaponisation of social work contact to suppress legal opposition

This is not oversight. It is institutional sabotage disguised as child protection.


IV. Violations

  • Public Sector Equality Duty (Equality Act 2010, s.149)

  • Failure to accommodate known psychiatric disability

  • Retaliation against civil litigant and complainant

  • Medical interference and negligence

  • Procedural bias and safeguarding misuse


V. SWANK’s Position

SWANK considers the persistent use of Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown — despite formal psychiatric diagnosis, written objections, and litigation disclosures — to be an act of coercive malpractice. Both professionals should be removed from all contact with the family and struck from any case bearing judicial neutrality.

If contact must occur, it must be non-social-worker ledindependent of Westminster and RBKC, and culturally appropriate. Anything less constitutes complicity in trauma propagation.

Re The Doctrine of Prolonged Silence



⟡ Ex Parte Incompetence: A Brief Treatise on the Custodial Eclipse ⟡
Wherein the state contrived to separate children from their mother, then forgot they existed.

Filed: 30 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/ROYALCOURTS/FAM-CONTACT-ENFORCEMENT-01
📎 Download PDF – 2025-07-03_Application_ContactEnforcementRequest.pdf
Urgent application demanding the restoration of contact with medically vulnerable children.


I. What Happened
On 23 June 2025, four American children were extracted under an Emergency Protection Order. In the ensuing days, no contact was arranged, no updates were provided, and no evidence was offered that the children’s asthma or trauma histories were being addressed. Repeated requests were met with bureaucratic indifference so absolute it felt almost avant-garde.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That the state can remove children with startling alacrity and then simply fail to remember them.

  • That procedural formalities were performed with all the conviction of a damp cravat.

  • That prolonged medical discontinuity was treated as a regrettable footnote, rather than a safeguarding catastrophe.

  • That contact was neither refused nor arranged—merely suspended in a fog of institutional absentmindedness.


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because the default posture of “We’ll tell you nothing, indefinitely” is not child protection. Because the systemic failure to distinguish between necessary intervention and performative opacity is not merely error—it is structural contempt. Because every precedent of unchallenged separation deserves a polished record of objection.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 (Section 34: Duty to promote contact)

  • Article 8 ECHR (Right to family life)

  • Article 3 ECHR (Freedom from degrading treatment)

  • Equality Act 2010 (Duty to accommodate disability in proceedings)


V. SWANK’s Position
This was not safeguarding. It was sequestration without candour.
We do not accept the normalisation of state silence as a proxy for child protection.
We will document every iteration—punctilious, archivally irrefutable.

In the Matter of Chronic Disbelief: A Mother’s Documentation Versus the Kingdom’s Retaliation



🪞MASTER RETALIATION TIMELINE

An Annotated Record of Unrepentant Bureaucratic Collapse
In the Matter of Persistent Violations by State, Clinic, and Council


📜 Metadata

Filed: 29 June 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-MRT-0629
Filename: 2025-06-29_SWANK_Timeline_MasterRetaliation_CurrentToPast.pdf
Summary: Full evidentiary chronology of medical discrimination, safeguarding misuse, and institutional retaliation against Polly Chromatic and her children.


I. What Happened

Over the course of nearly a decade, Polly Chromatic, a disabled U.S. citizen and mother of four, was subjected to a coordinated campaign of systemic negligence, retaliatory safeguarding, disability discrimination, and overt procedural abuse. From the early respiratory diagnoses at Royal Brompton to the unlawful seizure of her children in 2025, this timeline captures—meticulously—what the institutions did not.

Every ignored complaint, every falsified report, every safeguarding weapon misused—catalogued.
Every diagnosis doubted, every asthma attack dismissed, every lawful request refused—filed.
Every letter, every visit, every escalation without cause—recorded and timestamped.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

This timeline demonstrates an unbroken chain of harm across medical, educational, and social systems.
It evidences:

  • Recurrent medical dismissal and racialised disbelief,

  • Improper use of Child Protection frameworks as tools of reprisal,

  • Sustained refusal to accommodate disability,

  • Retaliation triggered by lawful advocacy,

  • The complete collapse of ethical safeguarding protocols.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because none of them did.
Because every time Polly reported it, they weaponised her voice against her.
Because her children’s diagnoses were met not with services, but suspicion.
Because Westminster and RBKC did not “intervene for safety” — they intervened in retaliation.
Because medical harm was not prevented, it was produced.
Because someone has to write it down.


IV. Violations

  • Article 3 ECHR – Inhuman and Degrading Treatment

  • Article 6 ECHR – Denial of Fair Process

  • Article 8 ECHR – Family Life Interference

  • Children Act 1989 – Misuse of Section 47 and EPO protocols

  • Equality Act 2010 – Repeated disability-based discrimination

  • Data Protection Act 2018 – Failure to uphold written-only adjustments

  • UNCRC Articles 3, 7, 9, 23 – Rights of the Child (ignored)


V. SWANK’s Position

This is not a case of poor communication. It is a case of structured retaliation by public bodies unable to withstand accountability.
No safeguarding response exists in good faith when the family in question has already documented the harm and is punished for doing so.

The Master Retaliation Timeline remains a live, evidentiary archive.
It is submitted not for sympathy, but for adjudication.
It is preserved not as commentary, but as proof.
And it is published not for virality, but for veracity.

When They Say You’re Uncooperative, What They Mean Is: You Didn’t Let Them Hurt You



⟡ “Refusing to Speak Is Not Refusing to Cooperate — It’s Refusing to Be Harmed” ⟡
A legal demand for disability accommodation. A written record of retaliation. And a formal declaration that safeguarding ceased to be care the moment it demanded pain.

Filed: 23 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/EQA-01
📎 Download PDF – 2025-04-23_SWANK_Letter_Westminster_DisabilityDiscrimination_WrittenOnlyDemand.pdf
Formal letter to Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown demanding legal disability accommodation under the Equality Act 2010. Refutes mislabeling of lawful boundaries as non-compliance. Cites psychiatric reports, statutory breaches, and prepares grounds for oversight escalation.


I. What Happened

After over a year of requesting written-only communication due to clinically documented disability, Polly Chromatic issued this formal legal demand to Westminster Children’s Services.

The letter:

  • Defines the written-only request as a reasonable adjustment, not a preference

  • Identifies repeated breaches by Westminster despite knowledge of medical risk

  • Frames verbal contact as a physical accessibility barrier, not emotional discomfort

  • Highlights the contradiction: the council claimed the parent was both “harassing” (too communicative) and “non-engaged” (too silent)

  • Issues a warning: continued discrimination will result in referral to SWE, EHRC, and the Ombudsman

It is not an appeal. It is an evidentiary ultimatum.


II. What the Letter Establishes

  • The parent’s refusal to engage verbally is protected under Section 20 of the Equality Act

  • Westminster’s refusal to respect this adjustment amounts to disability-based victimisation

  • The PLO and CIN process were initiated in full knowledge of these medical boundaries

  • The harm done was procedural, repeated, and recorded — not accidental

  • The social workers involved are now on regulatory notice


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because when a council treats a medical condition as defiance, it’s not miscommunication — it’s malpractice. SWANK archived this document as the definitive articulation of rights, boundaries, and consequences. It is the letter that says: You were told. You kept going. And now it’s public.

SWANK filed this to:

  • Cement the record of refusal-to-accommodate leading to institutional harm

  • Define the legal link between disability adjustment and safeguarding escalation

  • Initiate public accountability procedures through regulatory escalation


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 –
    • Section 20: Failure to make reasonable adjustments
    • Section 27: Victimisation after assertion of rights
    • Section 149: Breach of Public Sector Equality Duty

  • Human Rights Act 1998 –
    • Article 6: Access to justice
    • Article 8: Respect for family life
    • Article 14: Discrimination in the application of rights

  • Children Act 1989 – Safeguarding retaliation and emotional harm to minors

  • Social Work England Standards – Misuse of professional authority, misrepresentation of engagement

  • UNCRPD – Article 21: Accessible communication; Article 16: Protection from exploitation, violence, and abuse


V. SWANK’s Position

When a disabled person asserts their lawful boundary, and a government body calls it “non-engagement,” it isn’t a misunderstanding. It’s a lie. A lie designed to justify state intrusion. And when that lie is told in the name of safeguarding, it’s not just offensive — it’s actionable.

SWANK London Ltd. demands:

  • Immediate implementation of written-only communication as a standing adjustment

  • Formal acknowledgment that prior contact attempts constituted legal discrimination

  • Full referral of involved officers to SWE and EHRC for regulatory investigation

In re: Chromatic (Educational Integrity and Institutional Neglect)



⟡ “We Taught Our Children – You Just Didn’t Read the Drive.” ⟡
Mischaracterisation of Home Education and Suppression of Submitted Materials

Filed: 30 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/FAMCOURT/ADD-EDUFILES-0625
📎 Download PDF – 2025-06-30_SWANK_Addendum_EduFilesNeglect_FalseClaimRebuttal.pdf
A formal rebuttal documenting institutional neglect of submitted home education records and unlawful obstruction of professional development.


I. What Happened

Despite providing Westminster Children’s Services with over 350 emails and a dedicated Google Drive link containing extensive homeschooling records since 2023, Polly Chromatic’s lawful and well-maintained home education programme was ignored. Social workers—including Kirsty Hornal—never requested specific documentation, never acknowledged receipt, and failed to review materials provided for educational oversight. On 23 June 2025, four children were removed under an Emergency Protection Order—mid-education—without any substantiated safeguarding concern.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • A complete, detailed curriculum was maintained and documented

  • Westminster social workers refused to acknowledge submitted materials

  • Regal’s legal career path via acting and modelling was obstructed

  • Sudden removal constituted both educational and professional sabotage

  • Written communication was necessary due to diagnosed vocal impairment

  • Westminster never adapted or accommodated disability-related needs


III. Why SWANK Logged It

To document the disturbing pattern whereby public authorities suppress parent-provided documentation in order to fabricate a narrative of neglect. This is not a case of educational failure—it is a case of institutional failure to read.


IV. Violations

  • Article 8 ECHR – Interference with family life, identity, and personal development

  • Procedural Negligence – Refusal to process or acknowledge shared records

  • Tortious Interference – With a child’s lawful professional activities

  • Disability Discrimination – Failure to adapt communications despite medical diagnosis


V. SWANK’s Position

SWANK London Ltd affirms that the Applicant’s home education programme was active, legal, and vibrant. Romeo’s professional work was legitimate and disrupted without justification. Westminster’s claims are demonstrably false. This is not safeguarding. This is sabotage.

You Had Ten Years of My Voice — You Don’t Get to Weaponise the Silence You Caused



⟡ “I Don’t Need to Speak — I Already Filed the Evidence” ⟡
A written refusal of Westminster’s coercive contact request. Filed not in fear, but in defence of medical reality, legal authority, and ten years of proven care.

Filed: 18 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/PLO-15
📎 Download PDF – 2025-04-18_SWANK_Letter_Westminster_PLOContactRefusal_DisabilityBoundaryAssertion.pdf
Formal refusal to participate in verbal contact under PLO conditions. The letter reasserts clinical disability, historic care, and demands structural transparency from Westminster Children’s Services.


I. What Happened

After years of being ignored, surveilled, and punished for lawful boundaries, Polly Chromatic received yet another institutional request: a demand to “discuss concerns” — verbally. On 18 April 2025, she replied. In writing. With finality.

This letter:

  • Reasserts medical documentation of verbal communication limitation

  • Declines verbal meetings under the Public Law Outline

  • Invokes ten years of parenting, compliance, and safeguarding contact

  • Questions the legitimacy and legality of further procedural escalation

  • Demands clarity not on the parent’s position — but on Westminster’s internal staffing trail

It is not just a refusal to speak. It is a refusal to participate in state-sanctioned distortion.


II. What the Letter Establishes

  • That communication boundaries are medically documented and protected

  • That safeguarding escalation followed retaliatory logic, not family need

  • That verbal contact is not neutral — it is an instrument of ableist harm

  • That past involvement (e.g. “Ryu Kai” case) left measurable trauma

  • That Westminster cannot claim uncertainty — only impunity


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because refusal isn’t absence. Refusal is protection. Refusal is strategic. And in this case, refusal is the only lawful reply to a decade of escalating intrusion.

SWANK archived this letter because it shows that when every communication has been ignored or used against you, silence is no longer surrender — it’s evidence.

SWANK filed this to:

  • Establish a formal record of lawful, disability-protected refusal

  • Clarify that continued contact requests will constitute harassment

  • Name the authority’s failure to reciprocate transparency for over a year


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 20 (failure to accommodate), Section 27 (victimisation)

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (family life), Article 14 (non-discrimination)

  • Children Act 1989 – Procedural harm, mischaracterised risk, ongoing emotional injury

  • Social Work England Standards – Disregard of evidence, failure to protect dignity and truth

  • UNCRPD – Article 21 (accessible communication), Article 22 (privacy and integrity)


V. SWANK’s Position

When you request verbal contact from a medically injured parent who has spent ten years cooperating, what you’re doing isn’t support — it’s surveillance. And when that parent responds in writing, with boundaries and truth, what you’re reading isn’t non-compliance — it’s law.

SWANK London Ltd. recognises this letter as a written boundary statement of legal consequence.

Chromatic v. Westminster: On the Necessity of Filing What Others Forbid



⟡ Emergency Custody, Judicial Review, and Written-Only Access ⟡
A Disabled Litigant's Consolidated Request for Procedural Rectitude, Parental Dignity, and Jurisdictional Reckoning


Filed: 25 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/FAMILYCOURT/0625-01
📎 Download PDF – 2025-06-25_SWANK_CoverLetter_FamilyCourt_EmergencyCustodyAndReviewBundle.pdf
This cover letter formally submitted the three-part emergency bundle requesting reinstatement of custody, urgent child arrangements, and judicial review coordination.


I. What Happened

On 25 June 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a consolidated Family Court bundle demanding immediate legal scrutiny of the 23 June 2025 removal of four U.S. citizen children. The submission was addressed directly to the Central Family Court and emphasized:

  • Reinstatement of custody

  • Emergency child arrangements (C100)

  • Jurisdictional and safeguarding misconduct

  • A plea for all court communications to be in writing only, citing disability accommodation under the Equality Act 2010


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • There was no legal justification provided at the time of removal

  • Emergency filings were necessary to prevent further jurisdictional erosion

  • Multiple agencies had bypassed legal communication protocols

  • Protective applications had been filed with full coordination among prospective carers

  • Judicial Review proceedings were already in motion


III. Why SWANK Logged It

This cover letter represents a turning point in the evidentiary archive — the moment SWANK London Ltd. publicly demanded procedural restraint and disability-compliant communication from the judiciary itself. By formally insisting on written-only contact, it established a boundary often denied to disabled litigants.


IV. Violations

  • Articles 6 and 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (fair hearing, family life)

  • Equality Act 2010 – Reasonable Adjustments for disability

  • Children Act 1989 – Improper safeguarding rationale

  • Civil Procedure Rules – Failure to serve or notify before drastic removal


V. SWANK’s Position

This document reflects the essence of legal activism through procedural fluency. It is not merely a cover letter — it is a refusal to be erased. SWANK London Ltd. reiterates that its public archive is not rhetorical. It is juridical.
This filing is the velvet boundary that institutions may not cross.

In the Matter of Silence Received: Chromatic v. Unread Communication, SWANK Filed First



⟡ A MOTHER FILED, BUT NO ONE READ ⟡
The Removal, the Rights Breach, and the Statement That Should Have Stopped It


Filed: 26 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/FAMCOURT/0626-POSSTAT
📎 Download PDF – 2025-06-26_FamilyCourt_Addendum_PersonalPositionStatement.pdf
1-line summary: Position Statement documenting procedural exclusions, disability rights violations, and denial of contact.


I. What Happened

On 23 June 2025, four American children were removed from their mother under an Emergency Protection Order — without service, without grounds, and without allowing her to attend the hearing.
The removal occurred days after the mother submitted filings including a Judicial Review, a U.S. Embassy letter, and medical documentation — none of which were acknowledged by Westminster Children’s Services.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Denial of participation in the legal process (Article 6 breach)

  • Disability rights violations, including failure to accommodate written-only communication

  • Safeguarding misuse despite active medical needs and care schedules

  • Trauma and harm inflicted on both mother and children through sudden, unnotified removal

  • Pattern of institutional retaliation against legal filings


III. Why SWANK Logged It

This Position Statement was not simply personal — it was procedural, protective, and preventive.
It warned the court and agencies that forced removal would cause irreversible harm. It documented disability, dependency, and international jurisdiction. It made legal clarity impossible to ignore.

SWANK logged it to preserve this moment:
When a mother filed in time, and institutions chose not to read.


IV. Violations

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 6 (Fair Trial)

  • Children Act 1989 – Section 10 rights of known carers

  • Equality Act 2010 – Failure to make reasonable adjustments

  • UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

  • Vienna Convention – Notification failure for U.S. nationals


V. SWANK’s Position

This Position Statement was the moment that made silence indefensible.
No safeguarding rationale can justify ignoring written medical records, consular protections, or disability adjustments.
Westminster chose coercion over communication.
SWANK chose record over erasure.

Polly Chromatic v Parliament: MP Auto-Replies to Safeguarding Complaint with Postcode-Based Non-Engagement



⟡ “I Filed a Report on State Retaliation and Disability Discrimination. Parliament Told Me to Try Someone Closer to Home.” ⟡
This Wasn’t Representation. It Was Geographic Deflection — Filed With Postcode Contempt and Constituency Evasion.

Filed: 28 May 2025
Reference: SWANK/PARLIAMENT/AUTORESPONSE-MUNIRA-WILSON
📎 Download PDF – 2025-05-28_SWANK_AutoReply_MuniraWilsonMP_NoAcknowledgementToSafeguardingComplaint.pdf
Automated response from Munira Wilson MP’s office after receiving a safeguarding and misconduct report involving disabled U.S. citizen children, human rights violations, and social work retaliation. No case was opened. No reply promised.


I. What Happened

At 19:54 on 28 May 2025, an automatic email was sent from the parliamentary account of Munira Wilson MP, following receipt of a formal safeguarding complaint and supporting evidence from Polly Chromatic.

The auto-reply:

  • Confirmed receipt, but stated no response would be sent unless the sender lived in Twickenham

  • Noted that if Munira Wilson was only cc’d, the email would be “read and filed”

  • Advised that attachments without summaries or address confirmation would be deleted

  • Declared that non-Twickenham residents should contact a different MP

  • Offered no indication that the content would be forwarded, acknowledged, or reviewed for national interest


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Parliamentary staff are trained to filter out non-constituents, even for safeguarding

  • MPs receive jurisdictional complaints and respond with geographic disclaimers

  • Human rights violations and disability abuse are deemed location-dependent

  • The system depends on the public not knowing how to escalate outside postcode rules

  • Constituency protectionism is a gatekeeping tactic, not a legal limit

This wasn’t political response. It was auto-filed containment, logged for procedural disinterest.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the postcode doesn’t determine the validity of a human rights abuse report.
Because a Member of Parliament is not exempt from accountability just because the suffering occurs in W2.
Because referral to “your local MP” is not a response to trans-jurisdictional state misconduct.
Because this was not an email bounce — it was a structural dodge, sent with parliamentary letterhead.


IV. Violations

  • MPs’ Code of Conduct – Duty to respond to matters of public interest, especially safeguarding

  • Equality Act 2010, Section 149 – Failure to consider implications for disabled individuals

  • UNCRC Article 3 – Best interests of the child not a factor in reply

  • UNCRPD Article 7 & 13 – Denial of accessible recourse based on geographic logic

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Article 13 – Denial of effective remedy for rights violations


V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t parliamentary response. It was an autoresponder in Westminster blue.
This wasn’t filtered due to lack of merit. It was dismissed due to lack of postcode.
This wasn’t constituency service. It was jurisdictional avoidance sent by inbox algorithm.

SWANK hereby logs this message as a parliamentary encounter with procedural neutrality masquerading as democratic access.
The children were taken.
The evidence was sent.
The response?
Try someone else.

Emergency judicial review application under Form N463 filed by SWANK London Ltd., demanding the return of four U.S. citizen children unlawfully removed by Westminster and RBKC, with urgent interim relief preventing sibling separation.


I. What Happened

At 18:25 on 24 June 2025, Polly Chromatic, acting as Director of SWANK London Ltd., submitted a complete N463 emergency relief application to the Administrative Court, alongside the full Judicial Review claim (N461).

The submission followed:

  • The unlawful removal of four children on 23 June

  • The grant of ICOs in the parent's absence

  • No noticeno service, and no disability accommodations

  • No consular notification, despite U.S. citizenship of all four children

The application requested:

  • Immediate return of the children

  • Prevention of sibling separation

  • A hearing within 24–48 hours

All parties — including WestminsterRBKCCafcass, and the U.S. Embassy — were formally notified.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Local authorities conducted removals without lawful process

  • The Family Court issued binding orders without the mother or her solicitor present

  • U.S. diplomatic oversight was bypassed

  • A disabled parent was denied communication access

  • Four American children were separated from each other and from their mother by stealth proceedings

This wasn’t a filing. It was a diplomatic act disguised as litigation.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because removal is not lawful if the process was erased.
Because the archive does not seek mercy — it files structure, sequence, and jurisdiction.
Because the separation of siblings without consent or court approval is a state failure, not a welfare plan.
Because when four Americans are taken, the High Court must hear not just the claim — but the constitution beneath it.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, Section 44 & 38 – EPO and ICO misuse without service

  • Family Procedure Rules – Failure to notify, serve, or accommodate a disabled litigant

  • Equality Act 2010, Section 20 – No reasonable adjustments made

  • UNCRC Articles 9 & 10 – Unlawful sibling separation and family interference

  • UNCRPD Article 13 – Denial of access to justice

  • Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, Article 36 – U.S. Embassy bypassed

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 6 & 8 – Right to fair hearing and family life breached


V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t safeguarding. It was removal by ambush, legalized by absence.
This wasn’t child welfare. It was retaliation, sterilized in silence.
This wasn’t unnoticed. It was archived, submitted, and served — with jurisdictional contempt.

SWANK hereby files this Judicial Review as a historic correction of procedural deceit.
The children are American.
The orders were void.
And the response was velvet-bound, timestamped, and transatlantic.

Polly Chromatic v Westminster: Formal Non-Consent to Contact Proposal Pending U.S. Embassy Oversight



⟡ “They Proposed Contact. I Proposed They Read the Treaty Obligations First.” ⟡
This Wasn’t Consent. It Was Jurisdictional Refusal Filed with Velvet and an Embassy Address.

Filed: 24 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/WESTMINSTER/CONTACT-PROPOSAL-NONCONSENT
📎 Download PDF – 2025-06-24_SWANK_Email_Westminster_ContactProposal_DoNotConsent_USOversight.pdf
Formal email to legal counsel refusing to consent to Westminster's proposed contact arrangement for four removed U.S. citizen children, citing consular rights, pending discharge application, and unresolved legal violations.


I. What Happened

On 24 June 2025, Polly Chromatic sent a written directive to her solicitor Alan Mullem following receipt of Westminster Council’s “contact” proposal. The email made one thing unequivocally clear:

There would be no consent to any arrangements until:

  1. The U.S. Embassy confirmed oversight, and

  2. The discharge application under Section 44(10) was heard.

Polly further instructed Mr. Mullem to:

  • Challenge the contact offer

  • Assert disability rights

  • Request consular access for all future proceedings

She concluded with a final statement of legal escalation:

“If not, I will proceed to act in person.”


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • The contact proposal was issued without resolving the legality of the removal

  • Disability accommodations were once again omitted

  • The solicitor had to be instructed explicitly to challenge state conduct

  • The parent withheld consent and asserted consular authority

  • The contact proposal was premature, inappropriate, and procedurally offensive

This wasn’t a parent declining contact. It was a litigant asserting jurisdictional supremacy.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because contact cannot proceed when the foundation is unlawful.
Because U.S. citizens deserve more than thirty-minute Zoom sessions from foreign soil.
Because a contact proposal is not a correction — it’s a continuation of harm.
Because when the solicitor hesitates, the archive proceeds.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, Section 34 – Contact proposals cannot proceed during unlawful detention

  • Equality Act 2010, Section 20 – Disability-based written-only access neglected again

  • Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, Article 36 – U.S. Embassy not included in post-removal arrangements

  • UNCRC Articles 9 & 10 – Family unity and international safeguards ignored

  • UNCRPD Article 13 – Legal participation of disabled parent obstructed


V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t resistance. It was jurisdictional structure in sentence form.
This wasn’t refusal. It was constitutional reservation in writing — timestamped, cited, filed.
This wasn’t unclear. It was the legal sound of velvet saying “no.”

SWANK hereby logs this refusal not as defiance — but as a procedural checkpoint for every action Westminster now attempts.
Consent is not assumed.
Jurisdiction is not ceded.
And Regal is not forgotten.

Polly Chromatic v Westminster: U.S. Consular Oversight Requested Under Vienna Convention Following Child Removal



⟡ “You Removed Four Americans. We Requested a Consular Visit. We Filed the Vienna Convention.” ⟡
When Britain Breaks Its Own Law, America Shouldn't Need an Invitation to Watch.

Filed: 24 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/USA/CONSULAR-VISIT-REQUEST
📎 Download PDF – 2025-06-24_SWANK_Letter_USAEmbassy_ConsularObservationRequest_ChildrenRemoved.pdf
Formal request to U.S. Embassy for consular visit and protective observation following the unlawful removal of four disabled American children by Westminster Children’s Services.


I. What Happened

At 03:54 AM on 24 June 2025, Polly Chromatic issued an urgent diplomatic request to the American Citizen Services division of the U.S. Embassy in London. The letter outlines the unlawful removal of her four U.S. citizen children on 23 June 2025 by Westminster Council. No warrant was provided. No hearing was held. No consular notification occurred. Judicial Review proceedings, emergency reinstatement applications, and multiple regulatory complaints are now active. All four children — King, Prince, Honor, and Regal — were removed without transition planning, in breach of UK law, U.S. treaty rights, and international protocol.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • The U.S. government was not notified of the seizure of four American minors

  • No medical transition plan was coordinated despite chronic conditions (eosinophilic asthma)

  • The lead child, Regal, age 16, was removed without autonomy consideration

  • Parental disability accommodations were ignored, triggering access and safeguarding violations

  • A consular response is now necessary for diplomatic oversight and constitutional protection

This wasn’t a domestic issue. It was a foreign seizure of American citizens under false pretences.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because international jurisdiction doesn’t start when a parent files in D.C. — it starts the moment foreign soil targets an American child.
Because the Vienna Convention was ratified for exactly this.
Because Regal isn’t just 16 — he’s an asthmatic dual citizen removed in a legal blackout.
Because silence by the Embassy would signal acquiescence.
Because this isn’t just court failure. It’s international breach — and we filed it.


IV. Violations

  • Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, Article 36 – Failure to notify U.S. government upon removal of citizen minors

  • Children Act 1989 – Lack of lawful threshold, order, or medical justification

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 6 & 8 – Family integrity and due process rights denied

  • Equality Act 2010 – Access accommodations and disability protections ignored

  • UNCRC & UNCRPD – Violation of child autonomy, medical access, and disabled parental protections

  • U.S. Treaty Obligations – Breach of dual-national child protections under federal law


V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t a safeguarding action. It was an international incident staged by a local authority.
This wasn’t lawful jurisdiction. It was a treaty breach executed with bureaucratic confidence.
This wasn’t a family matter. It was a constitutional violation with a UK postmark.

SWANK hereby archives this as the formal notice that America has been asked — directly, jurisdictionally, and in writing — to observe, record, and respond.
No one can say they weren’t told.
This post is the proof.
The next move belongs to Washington.
