“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. 3.5 Years of Obedience. Zero Years of Protection.

This is the formal complaint submitted to the Attorney General of the Turks and Caicos Islands after three and a half years of unlawful surveillance, unsolicited home visits, and jurisdictional harassment conducted under the banner of “child welfare.”

The social workers had no statutory grounds.
The complainant had done nothing unlawful.
And yet the oversight never arrived.

This is not a cry for help. It is a declaration of exhaustion by compliance — where every deadline was met, every form submitted, and every demand answered.

And still, the harassment continued.

II. The Allegations (Which the State Refused to Answer)

This letter details:

  • The refusal of Social Development officers to acknowledge eosinophilic asthma and shielding status

  • Repeated attempts to gain access to a medically vulnerable household

  • The unlawful collection of documents, IDs, and health details under threat

  • The systemic disregard of the Education Ordinance, which the parent complied with in full

What should have been a closed file became a test of endurance:
How long could one family obey before someone would protect them?

III. Named, Filed, and Remembered

The document includes reference to:

  • Ashley Adams-Forbes, Deputy Director of Social Development

  • Mark Garland, Director of Education

  • Unnamed truancy officers, whose visits were intrusive, unnecessary, and medically reckless

Each name is preserved not for vengeance, but for record integrity.
We do not redact the people who refused to act — even when warned.

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not consider silence a lawful response.
We do not consider “reviewing your complaint” a substitute for action.
We do not confuse colonial politeness with compliance with law.

This letter is not rhetorical. It is procedural.

It is addressed to the Attorney General — because every other official had already failed.

Let the record show:

  • The timeline was sent

  • The medical harm was detailed

  • The education laws were quoted

  • The silence was documented, dated, and filed
