“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

I. From Professional Disagreement to Police Record

This supplemental witness statement was submitted to the Metropolitan Police following a retaliatory and coercive email sent by Kirsty Hornal, acting in her capacity as a safeguarding officer for Westminster Children’s Services.

At issue:

  • A communication sent in knowing violation of a formal written-only disability adjustment

  • A deliberate reference to a supervision order application with no legal threshold met

  • A strategic tone: not protective, but intimidating — designed to exert control

This wasn’t support.
It was a power play, sent in writing —
and now, formally recorded as harassment.


II. What the Statement Establishes

  • That the parent had:

    • A documented diagnosis of PTSD, muscle dysphonia, and Eosinophilic Asthma

    • A clearly communicated communication adjustment

    • Prior safeguarding complaints already filed

  • That the officer:

    • Ignored those adjustments

    • Sent an escalation threat via email

    • Operated outside protocol, outside process, and inside power

This isn’t “child welfare.”
It’s a civilian being pressured by government email — during a known medical vulnerability.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because disability adjustments are not optional.
Because safeguarding threats issued without legal basis are institutional coercion.
Because when the state weaponises email tone — we weaponise clarity.

We filed this because:

  • This wasn’t a safeguarding notice — it was a warning dressed as a “check-in”

  • This wasn’t a misunderstanding — it was deliberate intrusion into a controlled boundary

  • The person in power had options — and chose the one with legal exposure

Let the record show:

The email was received.
The adjustment was ignored.
The officer was named.
And the report — went to the police.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept professional roles as shields for misconduct.
We do not accept threats buried in pleasantries.
We do not accept that a safeguarding officer may breach medical law because of discomfort with dissent.

Let the record show:

The report was filed.
The statement was signed.
The archive is permanent.

This wasn’t an overreaction.
It was the minimum required response to digital coercion.
