“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.

Chromatic v Lawlessness – On the Unacceptable Reality of Being Smarter Than Your Own Government



⚖️ Lawyer Up, or Stand Down: The Ordinance Wasn’t Optional

⟡ A Third Formal Letter to the Attorney General Regarding Social Development’s Legal Breach and Persistent Harassment

IN THE MATTER OF: Unlawful Investigations, Unacknowledged Complaints, and the Collapse of Basic Statutory Integrity


⟡ METADATA

Filed: 15 July 2020
Reference Code: SWANK-TCI-AG-LEGAL-BREACH
Court File Name: 2020-07-15_Court_Letter_AG_TCI_SocialDevComplaint_LegalBreach
Summary: A final, lawyer-level request for intervention sent to the Attorney General, laying out the Department of Social Development’s sustained violation of Section 17(6) of the Children (Care and Protection) Ordinance, 2015. It includes a timeline of harassment, evidence of ignored complaints, and a demand for legal accountability — all composed with civility sharp enough to draw blood.


I. What Happened

This letter marks the third formal outreach to Attorney General Rhondalee Braithwaite-Knowles regarding a 3.5-year unlawful safeguarding investigation. Polly Chromatic (then legally Noelle Bonneannée) presents:

  • A documented history of harassment initiated by her decision to homeschool

  • Clear evidence of statutory breach, including failure to provide a required investigation report

  • Evidence of trauma, including medical abuse and psychological harm

  • Repeated dismissal by local authority figures (e.g. Ashley Adams-Forbes)

  • And complete non-response from the Complaints Commissioner


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That the Department of Social Development is operating in breach of TCI law

  • That the family has experienced institutional abuse disguised as oversight

  • That the required outcome report under §17(6) was never produced

  • That no exemptions under §17(7) apply — no safety risk, no criminal proceedings

  • That all attempts at resolution through internal complaints channels have failed

  • That the Attorney General is being asked — politely — to do her job


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is what it looks like when a citizen knows the law better than the people paid to enforce it. Because law is not something you “interpret” when it’s inconvenient. Because citing subsection 17(6) three times in two weeks should not be necessary — and yet here we are. Because when a state agent ignores her duties, a mother with documentation becomes more powerful than the director of safeguarding.


IV. Violations

  • Breach of Children (Care and Protection) Ordinance §17(6)

  • Unlawful and indefinite investigation with no report or plan

  • Denial of justice through ignored formal complaints

  • Emotional and medical harm inflicted on minors through procedural negligence

  • Failure of oversight at both departmental and AG levels


V. SWANK’s Position

We log this document as a final escalation in defence of legal reality. SWANK London Ltd. affirms:

  • That procedural clarity is not a privilege — it’s a statutory requirement

  • That unending investigation is indistinguishable from harassment

  • That trauma does not disappear because it was inflicted by a state actor

  • And that no mother should be forced to remind the Attorney General of her own jurisdiction

When Law is Ignored and Mothers Are Not



⟡ SWANK Dispatch to the Human Rights Commission ⟡

A Documented Plea from the Architect of Her Own Sovereignty
15 July 2020

The Education They Feared Was Mine


I. The Official Petition They Chose to Dismiss

A mother—Polly Chromatic, lawfully authorised to homeschool by the Department of Education on 26 June 2017—was not persecuted for wrongdoing. She was persecuted for independence.

For three and a half years, she and her children were harassed under the grotesque guise of child “protection” by the Turks and Caicos Department of Social Development (DSD).

Their real grievance?
She refused to relinquish her children to the custody of unqualified, intrusive agents of the state.

And what did the state do in response?

  • Sanctioned sexual assault on her sons in a public exam room while she vocally objected.

  • Pushed harmful genital practices, in defiance of NHS medical standards and global human rights norms.

  • Illegally entered her property—seven times—with no warrant, no cause, and no consequence.

  • Violated lockdown protocols, endangering her life as a medically vulnerable person with eosinophilic asthma.

  • Demanded repeated “proof” of legitimacy—educational credentials, financial records, curriculum—submissions which were repeatedly ignored.


II. The Legal Framework They Pretended Not to Know

The following legislation was disregarded with bureaucratic arrogance:

  • Children (Care and Protection) Ordinance 2015: Mandates delivery of investigation reports to parents. None were ever given.

  • Education Ordinance 2009: Clearly permits homeschooling when authorised. Her approval was on record.

  • Emergency Powers (COVID-19) Regulations 2020: Barred non-urgent property entry. They entered anyway—no masks, no distancing, no justification.

Polly’s severe eosinophilic asthma, a medically documented condition, was treated not with caution, but contempt.


III. The Rights They Trampled Without Hesitation

The following rights under the Turks and Caicos Islands Constitution Order 2011 were egregiously violated:

  • Right to Life – Her condition was ignored, her exposure maximised.

  • Freedom of Conscience and Religion – Her environmental and health practices were mocked.

  • Right to Education – Homeschooling was treated as deviance, not lawful choice.

  • Protection from Discrimination – Based on cultural, medical, and educational identity.

  • Right to Private and Family Life – Her home became a revolving door for harassment.

  • Protection from Inhuman Treatment – The state humiliated, endangered, and punished.

  • Lawful Administrative Action – No hearings. No reports. No process. Just intrusion.


IV. The Timeline of Surveillance, Submission, and Refusal

📅 November 2016 – July 2020:

  • Repeated curriculum submissions and academic documentation

  • Verified credentials: BA, MA

  • Police reports filed and discarded

  • Warrantless property invasions

  • State-enabled hospital violations

  • COVID-19 threats to health and life

  • A constellation of unanswered, archived, and ignored correspondence

All documented.
All dismissed.
All damning.
