“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.

She Was in Respiratory Crisis. They Were in Her Inbox.



⟡ She Said “We’re All Sick.” They Said “We’re Still Coming.” ⟡
When a disabled parent cancels a visit for medical reasons — and the council calls it “non-cooperation.”

An email thread documenting a parent’s attempt to postpone a safeguarding visit due to respiratory collapse, dental treatment, and ongoing exposure to sewer gas — met with indifference by Rachel Pullen and passive complicity by Laura Savage.


I. What Happened

The parent wrote:
– She was receiving treatment at Brompton for severe respiratory disability.
– Her children had dental and asthma care scheduled.
– They were recovering from environmental poisoning.

She asked to reschedule the visit.
Rachel Pullen replied:
– “We do not consider this harassment.”
– “We will attend anyway.”
– “The police report is noted.”
Laura Savage — the legal representative — forwarded this, but took no stand.

It was not a safeguarding plan.
It was a siege.


II. What the Email Establishes

  • That a parent gave medical notice to reschedule based on real clinical emergencies

  • That Westminster proceeded anyway, citing procedural supremacy over disability

  • That police reports about past harassment were dismissed without inquiry

  • That Laura Savage failed to advocate for postponement despite medical and legal justification

  • That no one present acted in the interest of the child’s health — or the mother’s


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because when you say “I’m too sick to meet,”
and they reply “We’re showing up anyway,”
that’s not child protection — that’s coercion.
Because requesting time to breathe shouldn't result in a breach log.
And because when your own lawyer won’t defend your lungs,
you publish instead.


IV. Violations Identified

  • Procedural Disregard for Medical Treatment and Disability Adjustments

  • Retaliatory Dismissal of Police Report Against Social Worker

  • Complicity by Legal Representative (Laura Savage) in Allowing Procedural Pressure

  • Failure to Prioritise Child Health During Recovery from Medical Emergencies

  • Unlawful Intrusion Under False Safeguarding Pretext


V. SWANK’s Position

This was not scheduling.
It was stalking dressed as paperwork.
You don’t get to ignore clinical records just because your calendar is full.
You don’t get to push past a parent’s hospital days to prove a point.
And if you try —
she’ll just document it louder than you planned.

When Safeguarding Becomes a Health Hazard: How Disability Refusal Became a Threat Response



⟡ “You’re All Making Me Sick.” ⟡
A medical escalation. A legal refusal. A respiratory warning ignored.

Filed: 14 December 2024
Reference: SWANK/WCC/FAILURE-RESPIRATORY-01
πŸ“Ž Download PDF – 2025.02.14_DisabilityHealthBreakdown_WestminsterSafeguardingReid.pdf
A written complaint to Westminster officials detailing the physical collapse, legal breaches, and fatal risk caused by safeguarding intrusion and institutional neglect.


I. What Happened
On 14 December 2024, Polly Chromatic issued a formal health escalation and safeguarding refusal to senior Westminster staff and NHS clinicians. The message detailed weeks of respiratory distress, widespread illness across the household, and the psychological and physiological toll of prolonged unwanted state contact. The letter identified safeguarding personnel — not asthma — as the primary source of ongoing health deterioration.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Contact from Children’s Services was physically harmful and medically unsound

  • Disability-related accommodations were knowingly ignored

  • Repeated requests for non-contact were refused in practice

  • Emotional exhaustion was compounded by institutional gaslighting

  • A clear risk to life was present, logged, and left unaddressed


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because safeguarding is not exempt from accountability.
Because illness caused by forced contact is not “coincidence.”
Because refusal is a legal and medical protection — not a provocation.
And because when a disabled parent becomes physically sicker because of social work “support,”
that is not an unfortunate outcome — it is misconduct.

SWANK London Ltd. logged this document as part of its disability archive, evidentiary timeline, and formal institutional harm record.


IV. Violations

  • ❍ Equality Act 2010 – Refusal to provide adjustments for a known chronic respiratory illness

  • ❍ Article 3 ECHR – Inhuman and degrading treatment through reckless disregard for health impact

  • ❍ Negligent Endangerment – Escalating illness by refusing to accommodate legal and medical refusal

  • ❍ Safeguarding Misconduct – Misuse of authority to override disability protections

  • ❍ Failure of Duty of Care – Continuing contact after explicit warnings of harm and exhaustion


V. SWANK’s Position
This was not a safeguarding intervention.
This was government-administered medical destabilisation.

The refusal was lawful.
The condition was documented.
The warnings were issued.
And the silence that followed was violence by omission.

SWANK London Ltd. stands by the archive.
The collapse wasn’t clinical.
It was institutional.
And it was entirely preventable.

The Email to Kirsty Hornal and Sarah Newman

“We’re still trying to get to a point in which we are not on the verge of death and the entire time I’ve been telling you all this.”
“Even the hospital doesn’t believe me when I or my children go to A&E with 87% oxygen.”
“If one of us dies, you all are responsible.”

“You escalated the case due to my inability to talk verbally, forcing me to talk for over a year while bringing illness into our home.”
“This caused me muscle dysphonia, making it very hard to speak now.”
“I had to stop talking to my mother and friends because of the extreme load placed on my lungs.”

“You—all social workers, especially Sarah—must be held accountable.”


Disability Statement

Please Note: I suffer from a disability which makes speaking verbally difficult. I prefer to communicate telepathically to minimise respiratory strain; however, email is fine.

The Plea That Went Unheard

On 14 December 2024, Polly Chromatic wrote the following to Kirsty Hornal and Sarah Newman, with Laura Savageand Philip Reid copied:

“It’s like no one takes me seriously and I don’t know why, as I’ve been very clear—yet no one will talk to the hospital and find out why.”

And in one unanswerable sentence:

“Probably better to stay home and die.”

That is not drama.
That is data.
That is what happens when all forms of available communication are ignored.

It’s not that help isn’t possible.
It’s that they chose not to connect the lines between her, her hospital, and her truth.

SWANK Submits Shadow Report to United Nations: Documenting Systemic UK Violations Against a Disabled Mother and Her Children

Filed: 31 May 2025
Reference: SWANK/UN/EMAIL-01
πŸ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-05-31_SWANK_Email_UNRapporteurs_ShadowReport_DisabilitySafeguardingRetaliationUK.pdf
Summary: SWANK formally submits a shadow report to the UN outlining systemic disability discrimination, retaliatory safeguarding, medical neglect, and intersectional harm within the UK child protection system.


I. What Happened

On 31 May 2025, Polly Chromatic (Noelle Bonnee Annee Simlett) submitted a shadow report to three UN entities:
– Special Rapporteur on Disability
– Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women
– Urgent Action desk at OHCHR

The report alleges violations of:
– The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)
– The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW)
– The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)

It details:
– Refused medical adjustments
– Procedural retaliation through child safeguarding channels
– Medical neglect by multiple NHS trusts
– Intersecting racism and ableism affecting both parent and children
– Institutional refusal to investigate or remedy


II. What the Complaint Establishes

• The UK has failed to provide medical access and procedural equity to a disabled parent
• Safeguarding structures are used as retaliatory levers — not protective frameworks
• Medical neglect is compounded by state narrative control and dismissal
• Oversight within the UK has failed — necessitating international attention
• SWANK functions as a public record and evidentiary vault in the absence of domestic protection


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is no longer just a complaint — it’s a case study in human rights denial.
Because when the state silences, the archive speaks internationally.
Because escalation to the UN is not an end — it’s a signal: we documented everything.
Because this was not just a report — it was a declaration of jurisdictional failure.

SWANK logs the moment the domestic system failed — and the global one was summoned.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that intersectional harm can be dismissed by internal process fatigue.
We do not accept that systemic failures can hide behind jurisdiction.
We do not accept that silence can survive documentation.

This wasn’t a report. This was an intervention.
And SWANK will publish every submission that says: the system saw, and still refused.

They Refused to Treat Me. Then Called the Police to Justify It.



SWANK Incident Report

I Went to Hospital for Help. I Was Met with Surveillance, Accusation, and a Police Visit.

Filed: 4 January 2024

Labels: Medical RetaliationSafeguarding TheatrePolice OverreachChronic Illness DisbeliefInstitutionalised RacismMotherhood Under Surveillance


♕ WELCOME TO SWANK
An Archive of ✦ Elegance, ✦ Complaint, ✦ and Unapologetic Standards
from a Mother Harassed by the State in Two Countries for Over a Decade.


✦ The Scene

2 January 2024, 8:00 PM —
I took myself to St. Thomas’ Hospital with my daughter Honor, experiencing severe breathing difficulty, dizziness, weight loss, and physical exhaustion.

We entered what can only be described as a dehumanising waiting area—rows of collapsed bodies in plastic chairs, barely distinguishable from each other.

I was ignoredquestioned, and passed back and forth between waiting and registration, while barely able to sit upright. Honor was quiet. I was civil.

I stepped on someone’s foot by accident in the crush of chairs. Minutes later, I was verbally attacked—
by a stranger
—while struggling to breathe.

The hospital’s response?
Question me. Not treat me.


✦ The Turning Point

After the verbal assault, I was escorted to another room.
I was not treated.
I was not offered medical relief.

Instead, I was interrogated about my parenting.

I explained repeatedly:

“Please focus on treating me—I cannot breathe.”

They refused.

They told me I could not be treated while my daughter was with me—
lie, easily disproven by a decade of ER visits across three nations.

I left the hospital.
I did nothing illegal.
I returned to my hotel with Honor, exhausted.

Minutes later—
the police arrived at my door.


✦ The Police Visit

The same officers from the hospital.
Nine in total.
They entered my hotel room at 4am, standing there while my children watched The Barbie Movie.

I had not yelled.
I had not been arrested.
But they were there.
Because the hospital, having denied me care, now attempted to paint me as the abuser.

I was crying, visibly ill.

“No one cares when I’m sick,” I said aloud.
They documented that instead of the nebuliser I never received.

The police told me later:

“I have no concerns about your children.”

But by then, the damage had already been done.


✦ The Broader Pattern

This wasn’t just a misunderstanding.
It was a coordinated ritual of institutional betrayal.

❝ You cannot ask a woman who cannot breathe to defend herself mid-asthma attack. ❞

St Thomas hospital had done this before.
The police followed without evidence.
Social workers hovered without support.
No one treated the asthma.
Everyone treated the mother.


✦ Final Word

I am disabled, but I am not disempowered.
I set boundaries.
I homeschool my children.
I document everything.
I am not here to convince anyone—I’m here to record what happened.

The next day, 3 January, I was finally treated—at Chelsea & Westminster.
They gave me a nebuliser.
Diagnosed me with COVID.
Prescribed prednisone.

Everything I had said was real.

You just didn’t want to believe me until someone else did.

Breathing While Documented: How Hospitals Manufacture Safeguarding from Medical Data



πŸ–‹️ SWANK Emergency Dispatch
I Came for Oxygen. They Wanted a Confession.

⚜ WELCOME TO SWANK

An Archive of ✦ Elegance, ✦ Complaint, ✦ and Unapologetic Standards
by a Mother Harassed by the State in Two Countries for Over a Decade.


❝ I Was Too Breathless to Speak, So I Offered My Book. She Told Me to Hold It Myself. ❞


A Detailed Reconstruction of 4 February 2024 — Chelsea & Westminster Emergency Department

Condition: Documented asthma exacerbation, SpO2 90–95%, peak flow critical.
Arrival: Uber — too weak to walk.


✦ What I Brought

  • Peak flow readings, meticulously logged in a notebook

  • SpO2 data from Apple Watch & Smart Flow meter

  • Oxygen levels with timestamps

  • History of treatment refusal

  • Body cam recording (audio preserved, video pending)


✦ What They Did

Initial Nurse Response:
She asked for my peak flow. I offered my notebook.
❝ Hold your own book. ❞

I whispered:
❝ I can’t breathe. ❞
She said:
❝ You can breathe. ❞

She refused to share my oxygen readings, moved me to another cubicle where a different nurse gave a nebuliser.

Medical records from the previous night were “missing.” The game of lost files began.


✦ The “St Thomas Trigger”

They discovered I’d attended St Thomas Hospital. Then:

❝ Do you have four children? ❞

Left alone thirty minutes, then a senior nurse arrived—no physician.

“There was an incident last night at St. Thomas. We need to ensure your children are safe.”
“We may need to call the police.”

I replied:
❝ Go ahead. But treat me first. I can’t breathe. ❞


✦ The Real Problem

They weren’t responding to a medical emergency.
They escalated a safeguarding narrative based on false records from another hospital — records I was disputing.

This is retaliatory referral — the epidemic behind every fabricated concern.


✦ Final Treatment

After explaining I was refused a second nebuliser the night before, they relented and gave:

  • A second nebuliser

  • Prednisone

  • Permission to leave

But only after proving compliance — not illness.


✦ This Post is a Record

🩺 I was not erratic.
πŸ“š I was not unprepared.
🧾 I brought data.
πŸŽ₯ I brought proof.

Yet, they framed the narrative around risk, not treatment.

Because, to the system, a mother with evidence is not a patient.
She is a threat.

Disability Ignored, Empathy Denied: A Report from the Respiratory Front Lines

 πŸ—“️ 4 January 2024

A Birthday, A Breach, and a Breathless System

πŸ’¨ Filed under: Respiratory Crisis, Institutional Misconduct, and the Failure of Empathy

On the second of January 2024, I made the rational and collaborative decision with my children to attend A&E—not out of drama, but due to the small matter of my lungs not working. That night, I was wheezing, dizzy, and down ten kilograms from prolonged illness. Heir, my youngest, chose to accompany me.

We arrived at St Thomas’ A&E—or as it appeared that night, a dystopian social experiment in overpopulation and collapse. We were ushered into the Majors waiting area—an architectural simulation of empathy failure. Humans were crammed, strewn, breathing each other’s pathogens at close range. We tried not to step on anyone. We failed.

Despite my clear and documented history of eosinophilic asthma, a nurse—resentful for reasons that remain medically unexplained—suggested I might just be having an “asthma thing.” I politely corrected her. She offered a nebuliser. We sat. Then we were displaced. Then called again. Then told to wait. I stumbled over a foot in the crush of the neglected. For that, I was soon verbally attacked by a woman whose rage was racialised, misdirected, and endorsed by the environment.

And then the accusation came—the eternal bait: abuse. A common technique used by low-quality humans to deflect their own lack of emotional regulation. A nurse took me and Heir into a side room—not to treat my breathing—but to interrogate me about my children.

I could barely speak, but I kept asking for medical treatment. Instead, they sent police to our hotel room.

We left. Heir and I returned to our hotel. I cried. We had only just arrived when officers, again, appeared at the door. For what offence? “Leaving” A&E. Apparently leaving without treatment is now criminal.

They came back. Then more of them. Nine, at one point. One officer said my condition "wouldn’t be fixed in one night anyway"—a remarkable position from someone neither medical nor kind. Eventually, a woman officer told me I would not be arrested. She also told me: "I have no concerns about your children."

It was 4am when the police left.

Then it was my son Prerogative’s birthday.

🎈 We went bowling. We had cake. Balloons. We sang. The hotel staff helped. But amidst the celebration, more messages from social workers. Even after all this. Even when I’d said: not today. Even when I could barely breathe.

So we returned to a different hospital: Chelsea and Westminster. There, they confirmed what anyone with compassion or clinical training should have known days earlier—I had COVID. My lungs needed help. They gave me prednisone. And peace.

But the damage had been done.
By St Thomas.
By the police.
By the social workers who circle like vultures instead of healers.

I changed my number.
I do not want calls.
cannot speak.
I reserve my voice for my children—those who listen.
The rest can learn to write.

This is not a story of bad luck. It is a story of institutional design.
Designed to punish, not protect.
To escalate, not resolve.
To make asking for help feel like betrayal of oneself.

And I won’t betray myself anymore.

Failure to Correct Prescription Dose: NHS and Council Obstruct Access to Life-Saving Treatment



⟡ “The Dose Is Wrong and You Know It”: When Access to Medicine Becomes a Monthly Siege ⟡
A sick woman begs for the correct dose of a life-saving drug. The reply? Silence — and a 50mg shortfall.

Filed: 12 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC-NHS/RX-044
πŸ“Ž Download PDF – 2024-12-14_SWANK_EMAIL_WCC-NHS_Prescription-Obstruction.pdf
Email to NHS and council contacts alerting them to an under-dosed prescription blocking access to biological treatment. No correction was made.


I. What Happened
On 14 December 2024, Polly Chromatic wrote to NHS liaison Dr Philip Reid, with council and legal parties copied, regarding a critical prescription error. Royal Brompton Hospital had confirmed that she required a dose of 250mg in order to proceed with biological treatment — yet the prescription held by the GP stated only 200mg.

This discrepancy, left uncorrected, blocked her access to care.

In that same message, she noted the absurd regularity with which her medications became inaccessible — a ritual humiliation repeated monthly. Despite life-threatening asthma, despite consultant confirmation, despite email upon email — the dose was wrong, and the system shrugged.

There was no apology. No amendment. No clinical urgency. Just inertia, weaponised by familiarity.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Neglect of duty by prescribing bodies and GP liaison

  • Breach of continuity of care standards under NHS Constitution

  • Obstruction of life-saving treatment through administrative indifference

  • Disability-based medical neglect: systemic delay in required asthma care

  • Compounded safeguarding risk via uncorrected prescriptions and unrelieved harassment

This was not a clerical oversight. It was pharmacological negligence, sustained and ignored.


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because underdosing is not an accident when it recurs with such precision.
Because no one with specialist-confirmed treatment requirements should be forced to beg for the correct numbers on a digital form.
Because a 50mg shortfall becomes lethal when the patient is already struggling to breathe — and has been for decades.
Because institutions now treat medicine the way they treat communication: as something a disabled woman must earn.

SWANK records this not as a symptom, but as a structure. A system in which survival is conditional on obedience — and dosage is a disciplinary mechanism.


IV. SWANK’s Position
This was not just the wrong dose.
This was a denial of access to life-saving treatment, by design or by habitual disdain.
This wasn’t a prescription. It was a procedural snare.
SWANK does not accept healthcare that withholds on a technicality. Nor do we accept silence as dosage.

We document every refusal, every delay, every underdose.
Because until the systems that make women sick are held to account, every 50mg matters.

Coherence, Alignment, and the Ethics of Output



⟡ When the Hospital Refuses to Treat You and Calls a Social Worker Instead ⟡
“I went to breathe. They sent police. And now I need a psychologist to recover from the psychologist they sabotaged.”

Filed: 30 October 2024
Reference: SWANK/WCC-NHS/EMAILS-04
πŸ“Ž Download PDF – 2024-10-30_SWANK_EmailSummary_WCC_MedicalNeglect_SafeguardingRetaliation.pdf
Formal written summary to Westminster staff outlining a one-year pattern of NHS neglect, racialised assumptions, police overreach, and social work retaliation.


I. What Happened

On 30 October 2024, the parent submitted an email to Westminster Children’s Services detailing an unbroken chain of trauma and procedural abuse:

  • Five asthma attacks treated as behavioural issues in A&E

  • Two hospitals that refused care while summoning social services

  • Accusations of abuse during active medical distress

  • A birthday ruined by police in a hotel room while the parent was seeking urgent care

  • Social workers who lied to a treating psychologist, blocking access to mental health support

The email is addressed to Kirsty Hornal. It does not contain legal theory. It contains testimony.

And now it contains a record.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That racial and disability profiling in NHS emergency departments triggered unnecessary safeguarding referrals

  • That the family experienced dual-agency trauma — medical dismissal followed by social work escalation

  • That psychiatric care was actively sabotaged by the institution claiming to be concerned

  • That children were directly harmed by the institutional response to their mother’s health crisis

  • That no institution — not the hospital, nor social services — acted to repair the harm caused


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when you go to the hospital to get air, and leave with a social worker — you’re not being assessed.
You’re being profiled.

Because when nine police officers are sent to a hotel on your child’s birthday — it’s not support.
It’s a message.

Because when a psychologist is contacted and misled to stop her from treating you —
You are not under care.
You are under control.

This email is not just a trauma log.
It is an institutional map of harm, sent to the very people who orchestrated it.

And now, it is archived.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Sections 19 and 20
    Discrimination by association (race), failure to implement medical and psychiatric adjustments

  • Children Act 1989 / 2004
    Harm to children through unjustified intervention and prolonged distress

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 3, 6, 8, 14
    Degrading treatment; denial of private life, health support, and fair process

  • Data Protection Act 2018 / UK GDPR
    Misuse of personal data to block access to independent psychological care

  • NHS Duty of Care (Common Law + GMC Guidelines)
    Negligence in treatment during respiratory emergency, racialised escalation


V. SWANK’s Position

This was not a safeguarding concern.
It was a multi-agency breakdown engineered through institutional arrogance.

This was not “confusion” between services.
It was discrimination passed between departments like liability hot-potato.

The trauma is cumulative.
The response is performative.
And the archive is permanent.

We said we couldn’t breathe.
You gave us a referral.
We sent you an email.
Now we file it.

Safeguarding Meant Staying Silent — So He Did



⟡ The GP Who Refused to Reply While I Couldn’t Breathe ⟡

Filed: 21 May 2025
Reference: SWANK/GMC/2025-REID-COMPLAINT
πŸ“Ž Download PDF — 2025-05-21_SWANK_GMC_Complaint_DrPhilipReid_DisabilityNeglect_Abandonment_SafeguardingRetaliation.pdf


I. Not an Omission. A Decision to Abandon.

This complaint to the General Medical Council (GMC) documents a period of calculated silence from Dr Philip Reid, a GP who:

  • Was informed of a medically certified written-only communication adjustment

  • Was aware of ongoing trauma-induced respiratory collapse

  • Was notified of active safeguarding misuse and retaliation

  • And chose to offer no intervention, no safeguarding referral, no record of care

This wasn’t oversight.
It was a professional refusal to act when action was the bare minimum.


II. When “Primary Care” Refuses to Care

The submitted evidence outlines:

  • Failure to respond to documented updates

  • Ignorance of pre-established disability status

  • No coordination with safeguarding bodies despite knowledge of procedural retaliation

  • And a pattern of institutional loyalty over patient protection

In Reid’s case, silence wasn’t neutrality.
It was allegiance to the abusive machinery.

He was the GP on file.
But he served the file, not the patient.


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because doctors are not permitted to recuse themselves when patients are inconvenient.
Because safeguarding cannot be weaponised without complicity from those who remain “neutral.”
Because the refusal to act in the face of procedural violence is an ethical breach, not a scheduling error.

Let the record show:

  • The GP was informed

  • The diagnosis was clear

  • The adjustment was lawful

  • The need was urgent

  • And SWANK — filed the breach before the breath gave out


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not believe that silence is a medical strategy.
We do not permit regulatory professionals to ghost their ethical obligations.
We do not consider trauma-informed care optional when trauma is state-administered.

Let the record show:

The GP stayed quiet.
The retaliation escalated.
The patient declined.
And SWANK — issued the indictment with timestamps attached.

This is not a complaint about poor service.
It is a clinical abandonment report, typed in oxygen and evidence.

Low Oxygen, No Care, and a Referral to Social Services

I. When You’re Injured by the Environment — and Then by the System

This document is a formal, cross-agency overview of the sewer gas poisoning incident that led to:

  • Severe respiratory injury

  • Near-total physical impairment (inability to walk or speak)

  • Multiple hospital rejections despite emergency presentation

  • False attribution of medical symptoms to alcohol, trauma, or “delusion”

Instead of treatment, the response was:

  • Psychiatric mislabelling

  • Weaponised safeguarding referrals

  • Institutional ridicule

  • And eventual harassment by council-appointed social workers

This wasn’t a misunderstanding.
It was a medical crisis reclassified as inconvenience — and archived here with forensic clarity.


II. What the Overview Establishes

  • That St Mary’s, St Thomas’, and Chelsea & Westminster Hospitals all failed to treat a known medical emergency

  • That the refusal to provide oxygen occurred while the parent’s blood saturation was dangerously low

  • That a documented environmental injury was met with racialised suspicion and safeguarding escalation

  • That disability symptoms were used to justify state surveillance rather than support

Let the record show:

The harm was chemical.
The reaction was bureaucratic.
The price was medical.
And the record — is now public.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when public services classify real illness as emotional performance,
—and then use that misclassification to justify intrusion,
—we call it what it is: medical retaliation through narrative control.

We filed this because:

  • This email links cause to consequence

  • It connects health crisis to safeguarding escalation

  • And it documents the clinical roots of administrative abuse

Let the record show:

The gas leak wasn’t treated.
The symptoms were documented.
The safeguarding was retaliatory.
And SWANK — connected the dots in one PDF.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that failure to treat entitles the state to surveil.
We do not accept safeguarding narratives born from clinical laziness.
We do not accept racial bias disguised as “concern.”

Let the record show:

She was injured.
She was ignored.
She was reported.
And now — she is archived.

This wasn’t delusion.
It was oxygen starvation.
And SWANK — saw the pulse oximeter before anyone else did.
