I. The First Performance: Concern Disguised as Support
This document contains the earliest recorded interactions with RBKC Family Services — specifically Eric Wedge-Bull and Milena Abdula-Gomes — during a period of severe respiratory illness, disability instability, and family medical crisis.
They claimed to be supportive.
They called it “monitoring.”
What they practiced was tone-regulated intrusion — framed in emails that made institutional presence sound like assistance, and implied safeguarding without ever saying it out loud.
This was not child protection.
It was the soft launch of procedural theatre.
II. What the Timeline Establishes
That there was no formal safeguarding threshold invoked — only “concern”
That the parent’s serious respiratory illness was met with strategic calm, not urgency
That Eric Wedge-Bull used vague de-escalation language while collecting
That Milena Abdula-Gomes responded with “reassurance” instead of clarity
The child wasn’t at risk.
But the parent was visibly disabled and articulate — and thus, threatening to the system’s narrative control.
So they replied in fragments, in courtesy, and in surveillance-by-email.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because “just checking in” is not neutral when it comes from the state.
Because “informal” visits often predate formal violations.
Because we don’t permit public bodies to embed escalation in politeness.
We filed this because:
The system never named a threshold, but recorded as though one had been met
“Support” was never clinically grounded — it was narratively positioned
No social worker responded to medical reports as medical — only as context to manage
Let the record show:
They wrote in first names and signed-off with warmth.
But every sentence prepared a procedural alibi.
And the parent — documented every line.
IV. SWANK’s Position
We do not accept “checking in” as a cover for pre-safeguarding surveillance.
We do not accept warm tone in place of lawful justification.
We do not accept politeness where clarity is required by statute.
Let the record show:
Their emails were vague.
The parent was precise.
Their process was passive.
The timeline — is now permanent.
This wasn’t early support.
It was the dress rehearsal for escalation —
and SWANK caught it before the curtain rose.
