“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. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

When the State’s Protective Services Become a Public Health Risk

 🦠 SWANK Dispatch: They Brought COVID into My House—During Lockdown—Then Blamed Me for Resisting

🗓️ 26 March 2020

Filed Under: COVID regulation breach, safeguarding hypocrisy, Environmental Health negligence, DSD misconduct, lockdown violations, public health risk, social worker overreach, family endangerment, lawful confinement ignored, emotional abuse by authority


“We were eating lunch during lockdown.
They entered my house without distancing.
Two unmasked women.
I said no.
They came anyway.”

— A Mother Whose Family Was Treated as Expendable


In this formal report to Mr. Kendrick Neely at the Environmental Health DepartmentNoelle Bonneannée outlines a flagrant breach of the Emergency Powers (COVID-19) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 by employees of the Department of Social Development (DSD).

Despite the existence of strict legal provisions for lockdown, including confinement to one’s residence and social distancing of at least six feet, two workers:

  • Insisted on a same-day home visit without lawful basis

  • Entered the family home unmasked

  • Did not maintain any distance from her or her four children

  • Stayed during mealtime, compounding risk of aerosol exposure

Polly complied under duress — not out of consent, but fear of retaliation due to their status as safeguarding officers.


📜 I. The Law They Ignored

Regulation 7A (1) required:

  • Residence confinement

  • Exceptions for essential workers only under regulated duties

  • Mandatory distancing of six feet

  • PPE and hygiene compliance

The DSD staff were not emergency responders, and the visit was neither urgent nor essential under public health guidelines.


💔 II. The Impact on Her Family

  • Emotional distress during lockdown

  • Increased infection risk to a household with severe asthma

  • Violation of privacy and health safety protocols

  • Undermining the government’s own legitimacy in public health enforcement


⚠️ III. SWANK Summary

You don’t protect children by endangering their airways.
You don’t uphold law by breaking it.
And you certainly don’t earn respect
by forcing your way into someone’s home during a pandemic —
with no PPE, no warrant, and no sense.



“This is Part of the Process” Is Not an Excuse for Harassment

🗓️ 26 August 2021

Filed Under: immigration misconduct, privacy breach, unannounced visit, family disruption, government intimidation, surveillance abuse, home education interference, digital class disruption, administrative coercion, TCI overreach


“I was in class.
My kids were studying.
And your officers were banging on the side of my house like debt collectors
and photographing my house like it was a crime scene.”

— A Mother Who Does Everything at Home and Was Still Not Left Alone


In this sharp letter to William L. Mills, Director of Registration and Citizenship in the Turks and Caicos IslandsPolly Chromatic makes a formal protest against an unannounced and invasive immigration visit on the morning of 26 August 2021.


🧾 I. What Happened

  • She was in the middle of an online university class and could not answer

  • After leaving, they sat in the field across the street photographing her house

  • Her husband was told: “This is part of the process”

  • But during their previous interview, they were told “the process was complete”


🏡 II. Why It Matters

  • Polly works, studies, teaches, and heals entirely from home

  • Her family life is tightly structured around education, wellness, and stability

  • This incident not only breached personal privacy, but disrupted educationviolated boundaries, and reinstated fear under the guise of bureaucratic process


✉️ III. What She Asked For

  • That future visits be by appointment only

  • That immigration staff respect private and family life

  • That she not be treated as if her home is a surveillance target


SWANK Summary:

When a mother says, “You’re welcome here — just ask,”
and your staff chooses banging, calling, and stalking instead,
you’ve exited the realm of immigration
and entered the terrain of intimidation.
