A formal statement of lived harm, institutional denial, and declared legal action sent to Westminster Children’s Services following months of ignored illness and retaliatory safeguarding.
I. What Happened
On 14 December 2024, the parent sent a conclusive statement to Westminster Children’s Services, referencing:
Prolonged sewer gas exposure in the family home
Ongoing respiratory distress, infections, and institutional abandonment
Threats of section 47s, removals, and child protection measures in place of support
Her refusal to accept the narrative of safeguarding, instead confirming active legal action
The toll of surveillance, false concern, and the use of bureaucratic power to erase responsibility
The message is part summary, part indictment — and entirely evidentiary.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
That Westminster had been repeatedly informed of medical and environmental danger and failed to intervene
That the home remained toxic and uninspected, while social workers threatened removals
That the parent was subjected to escalating distress while her children became ill
That the email functions not as a request for remedy — but as notice of claim
That systemic indifference crossed into psychological violence and environmental abuse
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because when your family is coughing from toxic gas and all they offer is surveillance,
you’re not receiving safeguarding —
you’re surviving it.
Because when illness is ignored but parenting is questioned,
you’re not being protected. You’re being positioned.
And when you write to say “I’m suing you,”
you’ve already tried everything else.
This wasn’t a breakdown.
It was a record.
And now, it’s public.
IV. Violations
Children Act 1989 / 2004
Failure to ensure child welfare in a hazardous home environment
Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 3 and 8

Failure to accommodate disability and retaliatory safeguarding actions
V. SWANK’s Position
You knew.
You didn’t act.
We got sick.
You threatened removal.
And now — we’re filing.
This wasn’t about concern.
It was about control.
This isn’t just a statement.
It’s your pre-litigation notice.
