“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.

When Bureaucracy Erases Trauma by Calling It a Policy Violation

 📩 SWANK Dispatch: My Children Were Sexually Abused by a State Doctor—But You’re Threatening Truancy

🗓️ 6 August 2020

Filed Under: DSD misconduct, homeschool retaliation, sexual abuse by physician, safeguarding trauma, truancy misuse, shifting policy excuse, administrative gaslighting, unlawful property entry, complaint commission, public school rejection

“You threatened to take my children
despite the fact that I submitted my curriculum.
But when a doctor exposed them
in front of nine adults,
you didn’t even file a report.”
— A Mother Who Has Survived State Surveillance in Multiple Countries

This letter to Willette A. Pratt, Senior Investigative Officer at the Complaints Commission, outlines a catalogue of procedural violence by the Department of Social Development (DSD), including:

  • Sexual abuse of her sons at the National Hospital by a doctor during an unconsented “safeguarding” exam

  • Multiple unannounced visits and forced interrogations with no explanation

  • Illegal property entry, including dismantling her fence

  • No reports ever given, violating legal and ethical obligations

🧠 I. Bureaucracy Over Trauma

Despite the trauma:

  • The family was told their homeschooling wasn’t approved

  • They were declared truant

  • The mother was threatened with child removal unless she submitted:

    • Written homeschool request

    • Curriculum

    • Child ages

    • Her qualifications

    • Socialisation evidence

    • An annual teacher assessment

All of this after the Department had acknowledged her homeschooling approval in 2017 through Mark Garland.

🧬 II. A Mother’s Timeline of Survival

The letter gives a concise migration history that highlights her effort to protect her family:

  • Moved between the USA, Grand Turk, Providenciales, and London to escape trauma

  • Survived robbery, housing collapse, deportation separation, mould exposure, and state harassment

  • Homeschools four children in the face of constant obstruction

🧾 III. What She Asked For

  • Direct communication from Edgar Howell at the Department of Education

  • A transparent copy of the homeschool policy

  • Respect for the agreement made with Mark Garland

  • Legal clarity and consistency

SWANK Summary:

She was following the rules.
They kept changing the rules.
And now they want to punish her
for surviving what their systems inflicted.

I Had to Write the Constitution Back to the People Who Forgot It

 📜 SWANK Dispatch: When Human Rights Must Be Petitioned to Protect Children from the State

🗓️ 15 July 2020

Filed Under: human rights petition, social work abuse, illegal medical examination, lawful homeschooling, systemic trauma, constitutional breach, public health endangerment, procedural failure, retaliation for complaints

“You have not treated us fairly. You have not protected our lives.
You have broken the law, and called it care.”
— A Mother Who Petitioned the Human Rights Commission with a Timeline Longer Than the Pandemic

In this ten-page letter to the Human Rights Commission, Polly Chromatic lays bare 3.5 years of sustained abuse by the Department of Social Development, escalating from unwanted visits to medical assault — all under the guise of safeguarding. With statutes cited, timelines presented, and health risks documented, this is not a complaint.
It is an indictment.

🧾 I. The Legal Core

Section 17(6) of the Children (Care and Protection) Ordinance, 2015
States that parents must receive a written report of any investigation.

Status: Not once. Not ever.

Emergency Powers (COVID-19) Regulations, 2020
Restricted entry into private residences except under clear emergency or essential worker capacity, with ID.

Status: Breached on 26 March 2020.

Education Ordinance, 2009
Recognises homeschool as a valid educational path with Ministerial approval.

Status: Approval granted — then ignored by every other department.

⚠️ II. Documented Harms

  • Sexual assault of her sons during forced hospital exams in front of 9 adults (2017)

  • Repeated home invasions, including fence removal (2019)

  • Property defacement, neighbour violence, and threats

  • Medical instructions from a doctor contradicting UK NHS guidance

  • Emotional abuse, gaslighting, and repeated interruptions of homeschooling

All while suffering from severe eosinophilic asthma — a condition that makes every uninvited visit a potential death sentence.

📅 III. The Timeline of Lawbreaking

  • 2016–2020: Dozens of interventions, no reports

  • 2017: Approval to homeschool granted by Mark Garland

  • 2017–2020: Truancy threats continue regardless

  • 2020: COVID violations escalate with visits during lockdown

“They questioned my compost toilet.
They never questioned whether their actions were lawful.”

🧠 IV. Fundamental Rights Violated

  • 🛑 Right to Life

  • 🛑 Protection from Inhuman Treatment

  • 🛑 Right to Private and Family Life

  • 🛑 Protection of Religion, Conscience, and Health Standards

  • 🛑 Right to Education

  • 🛑 Protection from Discrimination

  • 🛑 Lawful Administrative Action

This isn’t accidental.
This is a pattern of procedural contempt.

I’m Not Asking for Favour. I’m Asking for Law.

 📬 SWANK Dispatch: When the Attorney General Is Your Last Resort

🗓️ 15 July 2020

Filed Under: legal appeal, homeschool retaliation, social worker abuse, sexual trauma, investigation without report, attorney general intervention, procedural breach, children’s rights, systemic harassment

“The law says I should receive a report. I have received none.
Not in 3.5 years.”
— A Mother With the Statute and the Suffering to Prove It

This dispatch — addressed directly to Rhondalee Braithwaite-Knowles, the Attorney General of the Turks and Caicos Islands — is not a complaint.
It is a legal invocation.

Polly Chromatic, on 15 July 2020, outlines 3.5 years of documented harassment by the Department of Social Development, citing sexual abuse by a doctor, emotional trauma, and ongoing procedural violations — all under the false pretext of an investigation that has never produced a single report.

📜 I. Statute Invoked, Law Ignored

According to Section 17(6)–(7) of the Children (Care and Protection) Ordinance 2015:

“The director shall provide a report of the results of an investigation to the parent of the child… unless doing so would endanger safety or compromise a criminal case.”

• No report was ever provided
• No exemption was cited
• No criminal case was initiated

Ergo: The department is in violation of the law.

⚠️ II. The Harassment Is Documented — The Lawbreaking, Ongoing

Noelle outlines a history of:

• Homeschooling retaliation despite prior approval
• Sexual abuse of her children during a coerced hospital examination
• Emotional and psychological distress from unrelenting state involvement
• Total disregard by Ashley Adams-Forbes
• No response from the Complaints Commissioner

And now, the Attorney General herself is asked:
Will you enforce the law you swore to uphold?

🧾 III. Final Plea to Power

“Please use your power as Attorney General to ensure that the Department of Social Development follow the Turks and Caicos Law.”

It is not a request for special treatment.
It is a demand for lawful governance.
