“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

She Wasn’t Angry. She Was Finished.


⟡ “I’m Only Interested in Talking About My Books Now.” ⟡
Because after a year of harassment, she owed them nothing — not even a sentence.

This was the moment the script flipped. Not a complaint. Not a plea. Just a boundary: she’s done explaining. Sent to every actor in the case — social workers, lawyers, GPs, therapists — with a full blind-copy to her own archive. It’s not defiance. It’s authorship.

I. What Happened

She wrote one final group email.
To everyone: Kirsty Hornal. Sarah Newman. Samira Issa. Eric Wedge-Bull. Rhiannon Hodgson. Sam Brown. Glen Peache. Simon O’Meara. Laura Savage. Philip Reid.
She said: I’ve explained myself a hundred times.
She said: You’ve harassed me while I was medically collapsing.
She said: I’m done.

And then she included a book excerpt — a cosmic one.
Not for them. For posterity.
Because they weren’t listening anyway.

II. What the Email Establishes

  • That the parent had made exhaustive efforts to communicate clearly and repeatedly

  • That her experiences of harassment spanned both social services and police

  • That she was asserting autonomy through creative authorship, not compliance

  • That institutional obsession had become one-sided — she had emotionally exited the exchange

  • That this email marked a formal, documented withdrawal of energy and investment

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because when the State won’t leave you alone,
you send them literature.
Because disengagement can be an act of power — especially when it’s eloquent.
Because this is what emotional closure looks like in the face of chronic interference.
And because the file needed a finish line.

IV. Violations Identified

  • Sustained Pattern of Procedural Harassment During Period of Medical Instability

  • Refusal to Acknowledge Prior Explanations or Boundaries by the Targeted Individual

  • Obsessive Surveillance by Multiple Agencies Despite Lack of Ongoing Cause

  • Breach of Disability Adjustment Expectations for Verbal and Emotional Load

  • Weaponisation of Authority After Target Had Fully Complied with Legal and Procedural Requests

V. SWANK’s Position

She gave them her words — over and over.
They discarded them.
So she chose her own — not to persuade,
but to archive.
She ended the conversation not by disappearing,
but by publishing.

And when she said, “I’m only interested in my books,”
what she meant was:
You’re not the story anymore.

We Obeyed Everything. They Protected Nothing.


⟡ To the Attorney General: A Letter of Exhausted Obedience ⟡

Filed: 15 July 2020

I. 3.5 Years of Obedience. Zero Years of Protection.

This is the formal complaint submitted to the Attorney General of the Turks and Caicos Islands after three and a half years of unlawful surveillance, unsolicited home visits, and jurisdictional harassment conducted under the banner of “child welfare.”

The social workers had no statutory grounds.
The complainant had done nothing unlawful.
And yet the oversight never arrived.

This is not a cry for help. It is a declaration of exhaustion by compliance — where every deadline was met, every form submitted, and every demand answered.

And still, the harassment continued.

II. The Allegations (Which the State Refused to Answer)

This letter details:

  • The refusal of Social Development officers to acknowledge eosinophilic asthma and shielding status

  • Repeated attempts to gain access to a medically vulnerable household

  • The unlawful collection of documents, IDs, and health details under threat

  • The systemic disregard of the Education Ordinance, which the parent complied with in full

What should have been a closed file became a test of endurance:
How long could one family obey before someone would protect them?

III. Named, Filed, and Remembered

The document includes reference to:

  • Ashley Adams-Forbes, Deputy Director of Social Development

  • Mark Garland, Director of Education

  • Unnamed truancy officers, whose visits were intrusive, unnecessary, and medically reckless

Each name is preserved not for vengeance, but for record integrity.
We do not redact the people who refused to act — even when warned.

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not consider silence a lawful response.
We do not consider “reviewing your complaint” a substitute for action.
We do not confuse colonial politeness with compliance with law.

This letter is not rhetorical. It is procedural.

It is addressed to the Attorney General — because every other official had already failed.

Let the record show:

  • The timeline was sent

  • The medical harm was detailed

  • The education laws were quoted

  • The silence was documented, dated, and filed
