“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.

When Silence is the Only Response to a Year of Messages.



πŸ–‹ SWANK Dispatch | 9 January 2025
“The No-Shows Mount — and So Does the Exhaustion”

Filed Under: Social Worker No-Shows · Institutional Neglect · Communication Breakdown · Chronic Fatigue · SWANK Accountability Files


πŸ“© THE UNHEARD EMAIL:

“Social worker didn’t show up today.”
“I’m tired of being bothered while I’m sick.”
“I’m not responding to emails since no one responded to mine for a full year.”

Neglect is not always procedural. Sometimes it’s just absence in a slot where presence was promised.


πŸ’€ NO-SHOWS ARE MORE THAN INCONVENIENCES

Each missed visit compounds illness.
Each silence extends harm.
Each ignored message becomes part of the archive—and the evidence.


🚫 SILENCE IS A FORM OF RETALIATION

When you don’t show up for a year,
you don’t get to expect a reply.

I Had to Write the Constitution Back to the People Who Forgot It

 πŸ“œ SWANK Dispatch: When Human Rights Must Be Petitioned to Protect Children from the State

πŸ—“️ 15 July 2020

Filed Under: human rights petition, social work abuse, illegal medical examination, lawful homeschooling, systemic trauma, constitutional breach, public health endangerment, procedural failure, retaliation for complaints


“You have not treated us fairly. You have not protected our lives.
You have broken the law, and called it care.”

— A Mother Who Petitioned the Human Rights Commission with a Timeline Longer Than the Pandemic


In this ten-page letter to the Human Rights CommissionPolly Chromatic lays bare 3.5 years of sustained abuse by the Department of Social Development, escalating from unwanted visits to medical assault — all under the guise of safeguarding. With statutes cited, timelines presented, and health risks documented, this is not a complaint.
It is an indictment.


🧾 I. The Legal Core

Section 17(6) of the Children (Care and Protection) Ordinance, 2015
States that parents must receive a written report of any investigation.

Status: Not once. Not ever.

Emergency Powers (COVID-19) Regulations, 2020
Restricted entry into private residences except under clear emergency or essential worker capacity, with ID.

Status: Breached on 26 March 2020.

Education Ordinance, 2009
Recognises homeschool as a valid educational path with Ministerial approval.

Status: Approval granted — then ignored by every other department.


⚠️ II. Documented Harms

  • Sexual assault of her sons during forced hospital exams in front of 9 adults (2017)

  • Repeated home invasions, including fence removal (2019)

  • Property defacement, neighbour violence, and threats

  • Medical instructions from a doctor contradicting UK NHS guidance

  • Emotional abuse, gaslighting, and repeated interruptions of homeschooling

All while suffering from severe eosinophilic asthma — a condition that makes every uninvited visit a potential death sentence.


πŸ“… III. The Timeline of Lawbreaking

  • 2016–2020: Dozens of interventions, no reports

  • 2017: Approval to homeschool granted by Mark Garland

  • 2017–2020: Truancy threats continue regardless

  • 2020: COVID violations escalate with visits during lockdown

“They questioned my compost toilet.
They never questioned whether their actions were lawful.”


🧠 IV. Fundamental Rights Violated

  • πŸ›‘ Right to Life

  • πŸ›‘ Protection from Inhuman Treatment

  • πŸ›‘ Right to Private and Family Life

  • πŸ›‘ Protection of Religion, Conscience, and Health Standards

  • πŸ›‘ Right to Education

  • πŸ›‘ Protection from Discrimination

  • πŸ›‘ Lawful Administrative Action

This isn’t accidental.
This is a pattern of procedural contempt.



The Appointment That Didn’t Happen — But Still Hurt: How Absence Became Another Form of Retaliation



⟡ “I’m Tired of Being Bothered While I’m Sick” ⟡
A Procedural Failure, A Disability Violation, A Pattern in a Sentence

Filed: 10 January 2025

Brief but critical email noting a missed visit by Kirsty Hornal, documenting failure to respect health status and contact boundaries during a documented period of medical vulnerability.


I. What Happened

On 9 January 2025, Polly Chromatic sent an email to solicitor Laura Savage and social worker Kirsty Hornal stating, plainly: “Social worker didn’t show up today. I’m tired of being bothered while I’m sick.”

No meeting occurred. No explanation was offered.
Yet the inconvenience of being stood up was compounded by the invasiveness of unwanted contact — during an ongoing medical crisis, and after multiple adjustment notices had already been sent.

It was a line. It was crossed. Then it was documented.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • A procedural absence by the state: scheduled meeting missed, no accountability

  • A verbal disability violation: contact imposed despite prior refusals

  • Health disregard: illness acknowledged, but not accommodated

  • Failure to repair or apologise: silence as institutional habit

  • Escalation context: This occurred during ongoing safeguarding pressure


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because not showing up is not neutrality. It is abandonment — and when it happens repeatedly, it becomes part of the abuse.

This message is short because Polly Chromatic was sick. And that is the point.

SWANK logged it not for its length, but for its implication: that procedural authority can harass even when it does nothing — especially when it was already told to stop.


IV. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t an isolated failure.
It was a thread in a woven pattern of disrespect.

We do not accept that missed appointments mean missed accountability.
We do not accept that illness justifies silence from professionals who cause it.
We will document every no-show that was preceded by coercion — and followed by nothing.

No Care Plan, No Complaint, No Clarity — Just Three Years of Power

Here is your snobby SWANK post for the legal letter from F Chambers — sharp, constitutional, and archivally merciless:


⟡ SWANK Legal Defence Archive – TCI ⟡
“She Had to Hire a Lawyer Just to Get Her Own Case File”
Filed: 15 September 2020
Reference: SWANK/TCI/SOCIALDEV-FCHAMBERS-RESPONSE-01

Author: Polly Chromatic


I. Legal Representation: Activated After Three Years of Institutional Silence

This letter marks the moment the polite deferrals ended — and the legal formalities began.

After three years of sustained intrusion, undocumented claims, and zero transparency, F Chambers Attorneys at Lawassumed conduct of the case against the Department of Social Development in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

The firm’s position is blisteringly clear:

  • No complaints had ever been shared

  • No reports had ever been seen

  • No “care plan” had ever been disclosed — until it was cited retroactively

And yet, the department still claimed the family had “failed to comply.”

This wasn’t safeguarding.
It was bureaucratic surveillance without evidence.


II. What the Letter Establishes

  • That repeated requests for clarity had gone ignored for three years

  • That no formal complaint or allegation was ever presented to the parent

  • That the Department relied on unshared documents while demanding compliance

  • That the cited “August 2019 Care Plan” had never been received — or known to exist

  • That the children had been declared in good health while still kept under scrutiny

  • That the state engaged in procedural intimidation, not child protection

This letter is not just a response.
It is a legal dissection of institutional misconduct.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because access to your own case file should not require a solicitor.
Because parents should not be governed by policies they’ve never been shown.
Because no one should be asked to comply with invisible standards.

We filed this because:

  • The Department’s power was exercised with no documentation, no consent, and no clarity

  • Legal representation became the only way to demand constitutional recognition

  • The letter names the institutional gaslighting for what it is: a fallacy repeated with authority

Let the record show:

The department didn’t explain.
The parent didn’t retreat.
And the lawyer — wrote it down.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept safeguarding authority that functions like a riddle.
We do not accept silence as a substitute for due process.
We do not accept that families must beg to see their own files.

Let the record show:

F Chambers asked the right questions.
Social Development had no good answers.
And SWANK — archived the whole legal standoff in one document.

This wasn’t engagement.
It was evasion, exposed —
And the response? Litigiously polite. Clinically unforgiving.

They Didn’t Process It. So They Punished It.



⟡ Three Years of Compliance. One Letter of Threat. ⟡

Filed: 5 August 2020

I. You Had the Forms. You Had the Dates. You Just Wanted a Reason to Escalate.

This letter to Mr. Edgar Howell, Director of Education, was submitted not in rage — but in finality.

It followed:

  • Three years of documented, lawful homeschool notification

  • Repeated reports and educational summaries

  • No institutional response

  • And then — a safeguarding concern, issued not because the child was unseen, but because the parent was no longer submissive

You didn’t forget our correspondence.
You simply repackaged it as defiance.


II. When Compliance Becomes the Evidence Against You

This document:

  • Chronicles institutional non-response

  • Exposes the manipulation of attendance metrics

  • Details procedural breach disguised as concern

  • Names every step where silence was converted into threat

The logic was simple:

You sent reports.
They ignored them.
Then they used the absence of their own reply to allege neglect.

It wasn’t a safeguarding protocol.
It was a bureaucratic trap with child welfare as the bait.


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because no lawful family should be threatened for preferring literacy over loyalty.
Because failing to reply to a parent does not constitute grounds for investigation.
Because this letter exists not to explain — but to document the quiet coup of procedural reversal.

Let the record show:

  • The Department was informed

  • The education was delivered

  • The silence was theirs

  • The escalation — was deliberate


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not permit paperwork failure to masquerade as child protection.
We do not accept that lawful autonomy must be apologised for.
We do not allow agencies to create emergencies from their own unread inboxes.

Let the record show:

We complied.
You failed to reply.
And then you called it neglect.

This isn’t a letter of concern.
It’s an archival indictment — with attachments.
