“This Is Not Family Law. This Is Diplomacy in Disarray.”
An Urgent Plea for U.S. Consular Protection After a Sovereign Seizure of Four American Children
Filed Date: 24 June 2025
Reference Code: SWANK/USAEMBASSY/0624-CONSULAR-PROTECTION
Court Filename: 2025-06-24_Letter_USAEmbassy_ConsularProtection_RetaliatoryRemoval
One-line Summary: Formal diplomatic appeal to the U.S. Embassy demanding intervention following the unlawful removal of four American children by UK authorities.
I. What Happened
On 23 June 2025, Westminster Children’s Services, aided by RBKC and Metropolitan Police, forcibly removed four American citizen children from their London home. No court order was presented. No service of papers was given. The mother—disabled, medically nonverbal, and actively litigating against the agencies involved—was entirely excluded.
On 24 June, Polly Chromatic issued a formal, high-level appeal to the U.S. Embassy requesting immediate consular protection, child welfare checks, repatriation support, and diplomatic escalation. This letter makes clear: this is not a private custody matter—it is a breach of international protocol and parental sovereignty.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
That four American children have been seized without due process, consular notification, or lawful threshold.
That their mother, a disabled U.S. citizen, is a known whistleblower currently pursuing civil claims against the removing entities.
That no risk-based rationale has been disclosed; instead, the timing aligns precisely with the escalation of public litigation via SWANK London Ltd.
That this action, conducted under UK safeguarding powers, amounts to a diplomatic provocation under the guise of child protection.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because the British state cannot pretend jurisdiction over foreign citizens while ignoring the Vienna Convention.
Because “emergency safeguarding” does not grant the power to detain U.S. nationals and block their own Embassy from intervening.
Because international law is not an asterisk. And children are not war trophies for local authorities enraged by audit filings.
Because this is not only unlawful—it is undiplomatic.
IV. Violations
Vienna Convention on Consular Relations – Article 37
U.S.–U.K. Bilateral Agreements on Child Protection and Diplomatic Notification
Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 6 and 8
Equality Act 2010 – Disability-based procedural exclusion
United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child – Articles 3, 9, 12
Children Act 1989 – Lack of lawful threshold for removal
V. SWANK’s Position
This letter is not a request. It is a consular warning. The forced separation of four American children, without process, transparency, or international coordination, is not merely a domestic overreach—it is a sovereign breach.
SWANK London Ltd. formally asserts: these children are U.S. citizens first, and they must be treated accordingly.
Failure to respond with diplomatic urgency would not only be a miscarriage of justice—it would be a stain on the constitutional dignity of both nations involved.
