Formal request for judicial intervention following unlawful Emergency Protection Order and total parental exclusion
I. What Happened
On 23 June 2025, four U.S. citizen children were forcibly removed from their home under an Emergency Protection Order. No notice was given. No grounds were served. No parent was allowed to attend.
Despite active Judicial Review proceedings and pending applications, the removal was executed in silence — and cloaked as law.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
The mother, a disabled litigant, was excluded entirely
No legal documents were served prior to removal
The EPO was actioned mid-litigation, during live challenges to jurisdiction
To date, no location, contact, or medical updates have been provided
All court applications and protective statements were filed immediately after, but not acknowledged
III. Why SWANK Logged It
This document constitutes procedural theatre masquerading as emergency law.
It reflects a structural refusal to allow disabled parents to speak, act, or object — unless retroactively, when the harm is already done.
This was not safeguarding. This was erasure.
IV. Violations
Children Act 1989 (Sections 44, 46, 47 – misused)
Article 8 ECHR – Right to family life
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child – ignored
Equalities Act 2010 – disability access denied
Vienna Convention on Consular Relations – no U.S. embassy notice
V. SWANK’s Position
You do not get to pretend it was lawful after the fact.
A parent cannot challenge proceedings they are barred from attending.
This urgent directions request does not beg for contact — it demands restoration of legal dignity.
The family was never absent.
The state was just silent.
