IN THE MATTER OF: The Law’s Vanishing Act Where a Mother Stands Present

🪞SWANK Addendum

Of Evening Liberties, Bicycle Bans, and Procedural Hypocrisy

METADATA

Filed: 29 July 2025
Reference Code: ZC25C50281-A11-ParentalExclusionAndHealthRisk
PDF Filename: 2025-07-31_Addendum_ParentalExclusion_MissedCare_RomeoWelfare.pdf
Summary: Local Authority allows unsupervised 9pm outings but bans bicycle use and educational contact with mother.

---

I. WHAT HAPPENED

The Local Authority has scheduled a carer meeting for Friday involving the children's grandmother — while excluding me, their mother, from all participation. Despite holding full parental responsibility and acting in person before this court, I have been wholly bypassed in all recent care, education, and health arrangements.

My children have missed critical asthma appointments at Hammersmith Hospital — a direct health risk. Romeo is reportedly permitted to stay out until 9:00pm unsupervised, yet is not allowed to receive his bicycle, which I have repeatedly asked to deliver.

At home, I provide structured educational care, family outings, and engagement in creative academic life. In contrast, the current arrangement offers him unstructured time, deprivation of exercise, and institutional indifference.

---

II. WHAT THE ADDENDUM ESTABLISHES

• Exclusion of the mother from health, education, and carer meetings

• Medical neglect via missed asthma appointments

• Logical incoherence in safeguarding: a child may roam until 9pm, but not ride a bicycle

• Suppression of lawful contact and the delivery of personal property

• Disrespect for a declared unified family representation structure, including SWANK London Ltd.

---

III. WHY SWANK LOGGED IT

This exclusion is not a mistake — it is a pattern. The Local Authority has persistently disrupted my ability to parent by stealth, not order.
To allow this to pass unrecorded would grant legitimacy to a system that blocks family involvement in private while appearing cooperative in public.

---

IV. VIOLATIONS

• Children Act 1989 – Section 22C, 26: Failure to consult parent on care matters

• Article 8 ECHR – Interference with family life without lawful justification

• Procedural fairness and duty of candour in local authority operations

• Right to medical continuity and access under safeguarding standards

• Failure to adhere to representation instructions by both parents

---

V. SWANK’S POSITION

The Local Authority cannot bar bicycles while permitting curfews that extend beyond safety.
They cannot hold carer meetings without carers’ knowledge.
They cannot split a united family’s representation because they dislike who does the filing.

The irony is institutional. The harm is personal. The record is legal.

---

We respectfully ask the Court to:

1. Order the re-booking of all missed medical appointments for the children;

2. Require the Local Authority to schedule and allow delivery of Romeo’s bicycle;

3. Direct that I be included in all future planning meetings;

4. Acknowledge the procedural and ethical absurdity of banning bikes but permitting 9pm wandering;

5. Recognise SWANK London Ltd. as the coordinating representative body for this family.

Chromatic v Westminster City Council: On the Procedural Consequences of Failing to Admit a Mother Into Her Own Safeguarding Conference

Summary: Record of Westminster's failed attempt to run a CP Conference — mother was logged in, ignored, and nearly excluded.

---

I. What Happened

On 5 June 2024 at 10:30 a.m., a Child Protection Conference was scheduled by Westminster City Council via Microsoft Teams. Polly Chromatic, the mother of the children involved, was present in the waiting room — logged in promptly at the designated time.

The meeting did not begin.

At 10:32 a.m., she emailed to ask if it was going ahead. Laura Savage responded only to say, “Can you come out and re-join please.” No apology. No acknowledgment of technical failure. Just a last-minute redirect, as though this were a casual coffee call — not a meeting with life-altering legal implications.

This was not an isolated glitch. It was a habitual pattern of administrative chaos that places the burden of technical management on the parent — while accusing that same parent of disengagement.

---

II. What the Complaint Establishes

• Procedural breach of access: The meeting was mismanaged and risked excluding a key participant.

• Distortion of attendance record: Failure to acknowledge presence undermines parental credibility.

• Power imbalance disguised as technical error: No accountability for their failure; implicit blame directed at the mother.

• Systemic minimisation of institutional error: The burden to “log out and try again” placed entirely on the recipient.

• Safeguarding procedures compromised by digital dysfunction.

---

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because digital exclusion is still exclusion — and in the realm of safeguarding, it becomes legal distortion.
Because procedural incompetence is not neutral when used to invalidate a parent’s presence or voice.
Because this is not the first time a conference has been mishandled, and Westminster continues to weaponise chaos by turning access failure into absence blame.
Because when the stakes are as high as child removal, the fact that no one can run a Teams meeting is not merely embarrassing — it’s judicially dangerous.

---

IV. Violations

• Children Act 1989 – failure to ensure procedural fairness in safeguarding process

• Article 6, ECHR – Right to a fair hearing

• Article 8, ECHR – Right to family life

• Working Together to Safeguard Children (2018) – principles of transparency, inclusion, and parental engagement

• Local Safeguarding Procedures – failure to facilitate and confirm access to child protection meetings

---

V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t safeguarding. It was technical eviction.
A mother was present. She was ready. And Westminster couldn't click “Admit.”

SWANK rejects any system in which procedural failure is weaponised as evidence of parental non-engagement.
We will document every delay, every silence, every missing Teams button that becomes an excuse to marginalise a mother who showed up.

Access is not cosmetic. It is constitutional.

Chromatic v The Stonewall of Silence – On the Exact Moment a Mother Decided to Lawyer Up

---

“I’ve Asked for the Reports. Now I’m Asking for a Lawyer.”

⟡ A Formal Disclosure Letter from a Mother Who Can Quote the Law and Now Has Counsel to Prove It

IN THE MATTER OF: Non-disclosure, statutory violations, and the absurdity of planning for a child’s welfare while excluding the mother entirely

---

⟡ METADATA

Filed: 6 August 2020
Reference Code: SWANK-TCI-SOCIALDEV-DISCLOSURE-NOTICE
Court File Name: 2020-08-06_Court_Letter_TCI_SocialDev_Disclosure_AttorneyNotice
Summary: This brief but emphatic letter to Deputy Director Ashley Adams-Forbes marks a formal turning point. It politely confirms the mother’s repeated requests for lawful disclosure under Turks and Caicos legislation, states clearly that her children have been endangered not by any neglect on her part but by the state itself, and notifies the department that she has now retained legal counsel. It is the paper equivalent of a raised eyebrow and a closing file folder.

---

I. What Happened

After years of unlawful safeguarding visits, medical abuse, and procedural chaos, Polly Chromatic (then legally Noelle Bonneannée) submitted this letter in response to ongoing obfuscation. The department:

• Had repeatedly refused to issue investigation reports, in violation of §17(6) of the Children Ordinance

• Failed to explain why her children were under investigation at all

• Conducted case planning about her children without including her — a procedural and ethical violation

• Had, by this point, already inflicted trauma through unwarranted hospital examinations, illegal property entry, and retaliatory safeguarding

This letter is not a question. It is a boundary.

---

II. What the Letter Establishes

• That Polly had already made multiple formal requests for reports and legal justification

• That the department was violating its statutory duty by withholding those documents

• That she had now retained an attorney — meaning future communications would be subject to legal review

• That the real source of risk was not the mother — but the department itself

• That no further goodwill would be extended without lawful conduct

---

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because there is a moment in every legal siege when the gloves come off and the pen becomes a weapon. Because no mother should have to write this letter, but every competent one should know how. Because asking to be included in planning decisions about your own children should not require litigation — and yet here we are. Because this letter is not just notice — it’s the first formal shot in a just war.

---

IV. Violations

• Failure to provide statutory reports under §17(6) of the Children Ordinance 2015

• Exclusion of parent from child welfare planning process

• Neglect of parental rights under procedural justice

• Sustained withholding of legal information

• Psychological harm through state obfuscation

• Institutional retaliation through fabricated safeguarding measures

---

V. SWANK’s Position

We log this letter as a formal pivot from advocacy to litigation. SWANK London Ltd. affirms:

• That every parent has the right to understand and participate in case planning affecting their child

• That statutory reports are not optional — they are mandated

• That bad judgment by the department is not “concern” — it is harm

• That legal counsel was not only justified — it was overdue

• And that once a mother formally requests the law, she is no longer a subject of concern — she is a claimant

Formal request for judicial intervention following unlawful Emergency Protection Order and total parental exclusion

---

I. What Happened

On 23 June 2025, four U.S. citizen children were forcibly removed from their home under an Emergency Protection Order. No notice was given. No grounds were served. No parent was allowed to attend.
Despite active Judicial Review proceedings and pending applications, the removal was executed in silence — and cloaked as law.

---

II. What the Complaint Establishes

• The mother, a disabled litigant, was excluded entirely

• No legal documents were served prior to removal

• The EPO was actioned mid-litigation, during live challenges to jurisdiction

• To date, no location, contact, or medical updates have been provided

• All court applications and protective statements were filed immediately after, but not acknowledged

---

III. Why SWANK Logged It

This document constitutes procedural theatre masquerading as emergency law.
It reflects a structural refusal to allow disabled parents to speak, act, or object — unless retroactively, when the harm is already done.
This was not safeguarding. This was erasure.

---

IV. Violations

• Children Act 1989 (Sections 44, 46, 47 – misused)

• Article 8 ECHR – Right to family life

• UN Convention on the Rights of the Child – ignored

• Equalities Act 2010 – disability access denied

• Vienna Convention on Consular Relations – no U.S. embassy notice

---

V. SWANK’s Position

You do not get to pretend it was lawful after the fact.
A parent cannot challenge proceedings they are barred from attending.
This urgent directions request does not beg for contact — it demands restoration of legal dignity.

The family was never absent.
The state was just silent.

You Keep Ignoring My Requests — I’m Calling a Lawyer

 📨 SWANK Dispatch: If You’re Planning Around My Children, Involve Me

🗓️ 6 August 2020

Filed Under: unacknowledged requests, investigation opacity, parental exclusion, statutory rights ignored, child welfare irony, legal escalation, bureaucratic deflection

“The danger to my children is not the home — it’s the department.”
— A Mother Who Requested Reports, Not Surprises

On the 6th of August 2020, Polly Chromatic sent a crisp, restrained letter to Ashley Adams-Forbes, Deputy Director of the Department of Social Development, addressing what should never have needed to be repeated:

If you’re investigating my children,
you must tell me why.
You must show your reports.
You must include me in the process.

---

📂 I. The Legislative Obligation

Turks and Caicos law mandates transparency in child welfare investigations. But instead of receiving the required reports, Polly has received:

• Ongoing intrusion
• No rationale
• No documents
• No involvement in planning
• No formal explanation

---

🧠 II. The Threat to Her Children Comes from Within the System

She writes:

“It is the department itself that has put my children in harms way repeatedly through demonstrated acts of bad judgement.”

She’s not speculating. She’s documenting.
And she has receipts — from forced hospital visits, illegal home entries, and ignored medical risk warnings.

---

⚖️ Final Line:

“I have decided to consult with an attorney.”

It’s not a threat.
It’s a boundary.
A formal one — drawn after too many ignored questions, and too many invisible decisions made behind a mother’s back.

---
