“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. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Polly Chromatic v The Clock: Filing Until They Come Home



SWANK London Ltd. Evidentiary Catalogue

⟡ Filed Entry: Oath of the Mother – Relentless Advocacy and the Right to Return

Filed date: 13 July 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-O01-MOTHER-OATH
PDF filename: 2025-07-13_SWANK_Declaration_MaternalOath_UnbrokenAdvocacy.pdf
Summary: A sworn declaration of maternal permanence, legal resistance, and refusal to rest until the children are home.


I. What Happened

The children were taken — but they were never abandoned.
They were seized by state actors who mistook silence for safety, compliance for care, and safeguarding for control.
But I never consented.
And I never will.

From the moment they left, a different machine began turning — not the one that removed them, but the one that would bring them back.
It is slow. It is heavy. It is made of law and grief and paper and power.
And I have turned it every day since.

I have filed while crying.
I have typed through asthma attacks.
I have submitted addenda when I could barely speak.
And I have done it all not as performance — but as promise.


II. What the Declaration Establishes

  • That I am not waiting. I am working.

  • That I am not "coping." I am constructing a return.

  • That every day I live is another day their captors are on notice — you don’t steal children from a mother who owns a filing system.

  • That my love is not hypothetical. It is formatted, cross-referenced, and court-lodged.

And most importantly:

  • That I will not stop until my babies are returned to me, in full freedom, without condition, and in the exact state of joy, safety, and selfhood they were taken from.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is no longer a personal feeling — it is a formal position.
The love I have for my children is no longer private. It is public record.
The fight is no longer emotional. It is evidentiary, legal, and non-negotiable.


IV. Violations That Triggered This Oath

  • Unlawful removal of children under an Emergency Protection Order without threshold evidence

  • Disability discrimination against the mother resulting in speech and mobility impairment

  • Systematic refusal to engage with alternative carers or investigate medical records

  • Ongoing psychological harm to children caused by unjustified family separation


V. SWANK’s Position

SWANK London Ltd. formally acknowledges that maternal advocacy of this calibre is not activism — it is jurisdiction.
A mother who never stops filing, never stops proving, never stops articulating through exhaustion and pain, cannot be dismissed. She can only be deferred — temporarily.

This is not a blog post.
This is a notice.
To the court.
To the council.
To the Crown.
To the future.

 📞 SWANK Dispatch: Phone Call Follow-Up — Reframing the Real Issue

🗓️ 8 August 2020

Filed Under: complaint redirection, education stall tactics, social worker abuse, policy opacity, unfulfilled reporting, hospital misconduct, child rights violations, administrative diversion


“My complaint was about abuse. Their concern was whether I had submitted a form.”
— A Mother Who Understood the Difference Between Safety and Surveillance

In this follow-up letter to Willette A. Pratt, Senior Investigative Officer at the Complaints Commission, Polly Chromatic reasserts a crucial distinction: her original complaint was about institutional harm — not late paperwork.

On 7 August 2020, Willette phoned her. She mentioned concern over the start of the school year on 31 August and the urgency of homeschool registration. But Noelle didn’t initiate this complaint over education delays — she initiated it over abuse, neglect, and the complete failure of state mechanisms to follow their own laws.


🧱 I. Her Complaint Was Clear — The System Keeps Reframing It

Her original complaint included:

  1. Repeated unlawful and traumatising actions by Social Development

  2. A hospital incident involving sexual abuse and rights violations

  3. Failure to provide any reports, timelines, or rationale for investigation

  4. Refusal to supply written homeschool registration requirements

Instead, Willette focused on the school calendar.


🧠 II. What She Wants Is Lawful Process — Not Bureaucratic Panic

Outcomes Noelle requests:

  • 📄 Reports corresponding to every state intervention

  • 📄 Written explanation of the prolonged investigation

  • 📄 A formal review of the hospital assault

  • 📄 Written policies on how to register for homeschool

  • 📄 Written expectations for maintaining homeschool compliance

  • 📄 Review of whether Social Development is complying with law

Her offer:

“I am willing to follow a formal written letter... provided to me directly from the Deputy Director or the Director of The Department of Education.”

What she has not received:
Any of the above.


📚 III. UK Homeschool Law Quoted in Full — With More Legal Literacy Than the State

Polly cites 13 points from UK law, noting:

  • No required subjects

  • No required tutors

  • No legal duty to notify authorities

  • No mandatory testing or “school day” conformity

  • Home educated children are not automatically vulnerable

  • Oversight must be proportionate, not coercive


📌 Final Clarity:

“I initiated the complaint… because the Department of Social Development is not and has not been following the law… and has put the safety and wellbeing of my children at risk.”

It was never about forms.
It was always about trauma, transparency, and the right to educate without persecution.
