When Asthma Was Weaponised and Procedure Was Performance
19–20 October 2021
An Ambulance Denied, A Police Report Withheld
I. Medical Crisis, Bureaucratic Confusion
On 14 October 2021, Polly Chromatic suffered a life-threatening asthma attack in her home in Grand Turk.
911 did not respond.
An ambulance was not dispatched.
It was her mother and neighbour, Deborah Viera, who contacted Providenciales Police in desperation. Only then was an ambulance secured.
As Polly was taken to hospital in respiratory distress, the police entered her home—without warrant, cause, or medical training.
They inspected her kitchen.
They called social workers.
The stated reason?
“She left her children alone.”
Her eldest was 12 years old.
II. Legal Request Denied. Procedure Improvised.
Polly attempted, repeatedly, to obtain the police report. The response?
She was given the wrong email address—twice.
She was told she could not access the report because she “didn’t make the report.”
She was told to return in person—while still recovering from hospitalisation.
At the station, an unnamed officer (believed to be Mr. Porter):
Refused to give the report
Claimed it was illegal for a 12-year-old to supervise siblings “for any time”
Cited no law, no policy, no authority
Interrupted her repeatedly
Asked her to leave when she persisted in seeking legal clarity
“No one seems to be able to point out any laws to back up their actions.”
III. From Health Emergency to Character Assassination
The entire institutional response was not medical—it was performative safeguarding theatre.
The home was searched not for safety—but for character evidence.
The appearance of the mother was scrutinised.
Social workers were contacted without lawful trigger.
The vulnerable adult in crisis was treated as a suspect, not a patient.
What began as an emergency became an excuse for bureaucratic harassment.
IV. The Neighbours Turn Unstable
The very neighbour who helped coordinate emergency services, Deborah Viera, turned inexplicably hostile. Her daughter called in a rage.
Polly and her family were accused of “harassment”—for requesting the report that Viera had helped initiate.
“No one intended on making a police report. Everyone just wanted to get an ambulance to me.”
In truth, no one wanted accountability.
Not the police. Not the neighbours. Not the bureaucrats playing protector.
