“The law says I should receive a report. I have received none.
Not in 3.5 years.”
— A Mother With the Statute and the Suffering to Prove It
This dispatch — addressed directly to Rhondalee Braithwaite-Knowles, the Attorney General of the Turks and Caicos Islands — is not a complaint.
It is a legal invocation.
Polly Chromatic, on 15 July 2020, outlines 3.5 years of documented harassment by the Department of Social Development, citing sexual abuse by a doctor, emotional trauma, and ongoing procedural violations — all under the false pretext of an investigation that has never produced a single report.
📜 I. Statute Invoked, Law Ignored
According to Section 17(6)–(7) of the Children (Care and Protection) Ordinance 2015:
“The director shall provide a report of the results of an investigation to the parent of the child… unless doing so would endanger safety or compromise a criminal case.”
• No report was ever provided
• No exemption was cited
• No criminal case was initiated
Ergo: The department is in violation of the law.
⚠️ II. The Harassment Is Documented — The Lawbreaking, Ongoing
Noelle outlines a history of:
• Homeschooling retaliation despite prior approval
• Sexual abuse of her children during a coerced hospital examination
• Emotional and psychological distress from unrelenting state involvement
• Total disregard by Ashley Adams-Forbes
• No response from the Complaints Commissioner
And now, the Attorney General herself is asked:
Will you enforce the law you swore to uphold?
🧾 III. Final Plea to Power
“Please use your power as Attorney General to ensure that the Department of Social Development follow the Turks and Caicos Law.”
It is not a request for special treatment.
It is a demand for lawful governance.
