“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

Chromatic v Westminster (Informality as Evasion: On WhatsApp, Kreyol, and the Lawless Disguise of Safeguarding)



⟡ “Kreyol Isn’t a Loophole” ⟡
Illicit Contact in Haitian Creole as a Jurisdictional Workaround

A formal evidentiary addendum documenting Westminster’s backchannel contact in Haitian Creole with a foreign national during active safeguarding litigation.


I. What Happened

Between 22 and 24 June 2025, Westminster Children’s Services contacted the children’s father—who resides outside the UK—using WhatsApp and Haitian Creole, despite written directives requiring all communication be channelled through legal counsel. This occurred amid consular escalation and ongoing jurisdictional dispute.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Contact was initiated informally, outside any legal process.

  • Messages were sent in a non-official language to obscure oversight.

  • The father is a non-UK resident foreign national, implicating consular rights.

  • Prior instructions prohibiting such communication were knowingly bypassed.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

This event typifies a growing pattern: institutional actors bypassing formal legal constraints through cultural or linguistic ‘informality,’ often under the guise of care. When systems cannot operate within the law, they try to perform care in the shadows. We logged it because visibility is the first antidote to institutional opportunism.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – failure to respect formal parental rights

  • Article 37(b), Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (1963) – diplomatic overreach

  • Procedural Misconduct – violation of documented communication redirection


V. SWANK’s Position

You do not get to bypass court orders by speaking Kreyol.
You do not get to act like the law doesn’t apply just because a foreign parent doesn’t speak English.
And you do not get to improvise contact strategy mid-litigation.
This was not safeguarding — this was safeguarding mimicry.
