“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

Re: Regal, Prerogative, Kingdom & Heir – On the Unlawful Withholding of Comfort, Contact, and Cultural Care under Emergency Protection Measures



❖ SWANK Evidentiary Catalogue

Filed Date: 17 July 2025
Reference Code: ADD-WELFARE-071725
Court File Name: 2025-07-17_Addendum_EmotionalHarm_LossOfAgencyOpportunity.pdf
Filed by: Polly Chromatic
Summary: Testimony of escalating psychological harm, denial of educational and cultural rights, and unlawful isolation of four U.S. citizen children under Westminster’s care.


✦ Statement of Violation:

“This Is Not Contact. This Is Controlled Silencing.”

Addendum – Emotional Harm, Loss of Agency, and Opportunity Denial

A formal statement from Polly Chromatic, documenting the serious emotional decline and cultural erasure experienced by her children — Regal (16), Prerogative (13), Kingdom (10), and Heir (8) — since their unlawful removal under an Emergency Protection Order issued by Westminster Children’s Services.


I. What the Addendum Establishes

This filing presents:

  • Evidence that Regal has been forcibly silenced despite his age, maturity, and legal competence.

  • That all four children were withdrawn from Kids London Modelling Agency, disrupting creative, educational, and financial opportunities.

  • That grooming and cultural care has been neglected — with Heir’s hair repeatedly left unbrushed and verbal promises of braiding ignored.

  • That devices used for emotional, educational, and familial support (e.g., Regal’s iPhone) have been arbitrarily confiscated.

  • That the children are “confused, isolated, and afraid,” reporting themselves to feel like “hostages” of a system that makes no effort to explain their removal.


II. Why SWANK Logged It

Because Regal is Gillick competent yet gagged.
Because Westminster’s “intervention” has become indistinguishable from emotional abuse.
Because no lawful order permits this level of restriction.
Because this is not safeguarding — it is institutional harm in disguise.


III. Applicable Violations

  • Children Act 1989, Sections 17, 22 (welfare duties, familial connection)

  • Article 8 ECHR (respect for private and family life)

  • UNCRC Articles 9, 28, 29 (contact, education, dignity)

  • Public Law Principles (necessity, proportionality, non-retaliation)


IV. SWANK’s Position

This is not contact, it is coercion.
This is not protection, it is psychological siege.
This is not temporary, it is worsening.
And it is doing irreversible damage to children who were loved, thriving, and lawfully educated at home.


⚖️ SWANK Concludes:

There is no justification for:

  • Denying children access to lawful cultural representation

  • Confiscating emotional and educational property

  • Enforcing surveillance-heavy communication

  • Punishing a mother and her children for asserting legal rights

The children are suffering, the harm is escalating, and the clock of trauma is ticking. If the court fails to intervene, it permits this abuse by omission.

Re: Silence, Substitution, and the Jurisdictional Vanishing Act of 2025



⟡ We Were Never Told – But They Called It Legal ⟡
The Institutional Fiction of Notice, Service, and Participation

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.

Apparently My ‘Need’ Disappeared When I Filed a Police Report



⟡ “I Filed a Police Report — So They Closed the Support Plan” ⟡
When the safeguarding system can't defend itself, it retaliates. This is the document that proves it.

Filed: 15 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/RETALIATION-01
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-04-15_SWANK_Email_Westminster_CINClosure_RetaliationPostPoliceReport.pdf
Email to Kirsty Hornal referencing police report BCA-10622-25-0101-IR and documenting Westminster’s retaliatory closure of the Child in Need (CIN) plan — not based on support completed, but because complaint was filed.


I. What Happened

On 15 February 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a formal police report against Westminster Children’s Services for disability discrimination, safeguarding misuse, and psychological harm.

Within weeks — without request, consent, or cause — the CIN plan was closed. No milestone had been reached. No risks had resolved. No parent had disengaged. But one thing had happened: the family made a report.

On 15 April 2025, this email was sent to record it.

The email:

  • Cites the active police complaint

  • Names the sudden closure of support as procedural retaliation

  • Reasserts written-only disability accommodation

  • Questions the legitimacy of the closure

  • Treats the CIN framework not as care — but as a tool of conditional compliance


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Westminster withdrew support immediately after legal accountability was pursued

  • CIN was being used as a compliance filter, not a support mechanism

  • The closure of the case was not protective — it was punitive

  • Disability-adjusted communication was treated as refusal

  • Safeguarding frameworks were invoked only when the parent was silent — and withdrawn when they spoke


III. Why SWANK Filed It

This letter reveals a dangerous pattern: state agencies weaponising procedural withdrawal as institutional punishment. You are “in need” as long as you are quiet. Once you file a complaint? The need evaporates — or so they pretend.

SWANK archived this email to:

  • Preserve a precise timestamp on retaliatory conduct

  • Document how safeguarding support becomes conditional on silence

  • Expose how disability accommodations are reframed as opposition


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 27 (victimisation), Section 20 (failure to adjust), Section 149 (public sector duty)

  • Children Act 1989 – Closure of support without regard to actual need or safety

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (family life), Article 6 (retaliation for legal process)

  • Social Work England Standards – Misuse of frameworks, concealment of institutional accountability

  • UK GDPR – Data omission and intentional mischaracterisation of parent engagement


V. SWANK’s Position

You don’t stop supporting a family because they reported you. Unless, of course, you were never supporting them in the first place — just surveilling. This document is proof that the safeguarding framework isn’t failing. It’s retaliating.

SWANK London Ltd. calls for:

  • Independent review of CIN closure timelines following complaint

  • Reopening of case support records with full external audit

  • Legal recognition that retaliatory withdrawal is procedural harm

Please Stop Distressing My Children – A Request You Chose to Ignore



⟡ “Your Process Is Not a Justification to Upset My Children” ⟡
A mother requests decency, dignity, and lawful communication — in response, silence. The PLO circus rolls on.

Filed: 28 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/PLO-03
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-04-28_SWANK_Email_Westminster_PLOChildCommunicationRequest.pdf
Formal communication sent to Westminster Children’s Services requesting lawful, child-sensitive engagement during Public Law Outline (PLO) proceedings.


I. What Happened

On 28 April 2025, the claimant sent a direct email to both Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown, senior officers at Westminster Children’s Services, requesting respectful engagement with her children and adherence to communication adjustments already established as medically necessary. This message, though brief, is part of a wider archive of documents that show Westminster’s refusal to adapt its approach — despite full knowledge of the family's disability status, trauma history, and lawful protections.

The subject line itself — “Request for Respect of My Children’s Wellbeing and Communication Practices” — highlights the systemic absurdity: a mother is forced to ask for the bare minimum during a legal process that purports to be child-centred.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Repeated requests for lawful written-only communication

  • Emphasis on emotional impact of PLO intrusions on children

  • Lack of procedural flexibility in response to clinical need

  • Ongoing failure to incorporate trauma-informed or child-sensitive practices

  • Institutional refusal to acknowledge legitimate requests without litigation


III. Why SWANK Filed It

This message is not lengthy — and that is precisely what makes it powerful. In a single sentence and a single PDF attachment, the parent presents a basic moral and legal request: protect my children from emotional harm and follow the law. The fact that such a request even needs to be made — and that it is then ignored — is evidence of a system that does not serve children, but serves itself.

SWANK London Ltd. formally archived this email to document:

  • The unresponsiveness of Westminster social work management

  • The emotional toll of procedural aggression on disabled families

  • A clear example of a written parental request being treated as disposable


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 20 (reasonable adjustments)

  • Children Act 1989 – Duty to safeguard emotional wellbeing

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (right to family life)

  • UNCRC – Article 3 (best interests of the child), Article 12 (right to be heard)

  • Social Work England Standards – Lack of dignity, respect, and collaboration


V. SWANK’s Position

Westminster cannot claim to operate within a “child protection” framework while disregarding the emotional and psychological safety of children at every turn. When social workers need to be told — formally and in writing — that their conduct is harming a family, the system has already failed. This email is archived not only as evidence — but as indictment.

SWANK London Ltd. calls for:

  • A full procedural review of Westminster’s PLO communication strategy

  • Public disclosure of all internal guidance used during family interventions

  • A statement of accountability from both Sam Brown and Kirsty Hornal

When Safeguarding Destroys Livelihood: A Case Study in Economic Retaliation by Procedure



⟡ “You’ve All Cost Me Everything.” ⟡
A formal escalation. A financial collapse. A system that refused to stop — until the damage was irreversible.

Filed: 14 December 2024
Reference: SWANK/WCC/FINANCIAL-FALLOUT-01
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025.02.14_DisabilityFinancialCollapse_WestminsterReid.pdf
A direct complaint from Noelle Meline to Westminster Children’s Services, NHS consultants, and legal professionals detailing the economic devastation caused by institutional harassment, legal abandonment, and the weaponisation of safeguarding powers.


I. What Happened
On 14 December 2024, Polly Chromatic submitted a real-time escalation documenting the long-term financial and emotional destruction caused by Westminster’s safeguarding conduct. The complaint outlines the loss of professional income, inability to focus on legal and creative work, interrupted homeschool, and the psychological exhaustion of being relentlessly contacted by state actors while disabled. The message was addressed to multiple officials, including NHS clinicians and legal representatives — none of whom had stopped the harm.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Safeguarding intrusion actively caused financial deterioration

  • No legitimate reason for intervention was ever upheld

  • Disability was ignored, leveraged, and ultimately penalised

  • Legal representation was functionally absent

  • All damage occurred without lawful justification or resolution


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because financial harm is still harm.
Because loss of income, loss of health, and loss of legal protection are not “side effects” — they are outcomes of coercive policy.
Because this wasn’t neglect.
It was economic sabotage disguised as care.
And because the institutions responsible walked away — but only after the damage had been done.

SWANK London Ltd. logs this as evidence of procedural targeting, resource exhaustion, and strategic incapacitation through bureaucratic fatigue.


IV. Violations

  • ❍ Article 8 ECHR – Interference with private and family life, including economic security

  • ❍ Equality Act 2010 – Disability discrimination via sustained procedural targeting

  • ❍ Negligent Legal Oversight – Total collapse of meaningful legal protection

  • ❍ Safeguarding Malpractice – No justification, no remedy, no accountability

  • ❍ Intentional Destabilisation – Using process to obstruct livelihood and self-advocacy


V. SWANK’s Position
This was not poor practice.
It was institutional economic violence against a disabled parent who had already refused contact.
There was no investigation. No support. No safeguarding.
There was only intrusion, loss, and exhaustion — orchestrated by a network of professionals who never once called it what it was:

abuse.

The archive now holds the record.
SWANK London Ltd. will document every fallout.
Because when public institutions destroy private lives under the guise of procedure —
we log the wreckage.

Discrimination in Uniform: When the Police Ignore the Law They Enforce



⟡ SWANK Police Misconduct Archive ⟡
“Formal Complaint – But Informality Was Their Crime”
Filed: 10 March 2025
Reference: SWANK/IOPC/MET-DISCRIM-FAILURE-01
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-03-10_SWANK_IOPC_MetPolice_Misconduct_Disability_Discrimination_Complaint.pdf


I. This Wasn’t a Misunderstanding. It Was Calculated Neglect in Uniform.

On 10 March 2025, a formal complaint was submitted to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), detailing the Metropolitan Police’s:

  • Failure to investigate harassment

  • Disability discrimination

  • Retaliatory misconduct following lawful safeguarding disclosures

What began as calls for help were met with silence, dismissal, and — in some instances — physical presence at the door, despite written-only communication requirements.

This wasn’t an isolated incident.
It was a sustained choreography of procedural erosion.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

That the Metropolitan Police:

  • Ignored credible reports of institutional harassment

  • Disregarded documented disability adjustments

  • Weaponised safeguarding as a tool of intimidation

  • Prioritised authority over protection

And that these failures were not due to misunderstanding — they were a refusal to engage with written legal truths.

This complaint is a map of misconduct in the key of silence.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because asking for protection shouldn’t expose you to further harm.
Because failure to investigate isn’t neutral — it’s an administrative green light to abusers.
Because every time an institution “forgets” your diagnosis, it’s remembering its power.

We filed this because:

  • The harm was procedural, not accidental

  • The silence was patterned, not passive

  • The disregard for disability was institutional, not personal

Let the record show:

The police received safeguarding reports.
They ignored them.
They showed up instead.
And SWANK — responded with documentation, not fear.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that uniformed neglect deserves deference.
We do not accept police “oversight” when what’s missing is the will to act.
We do not tolerate safeguarding used as a pretext for retaliation.

Let the record show:

The complaint was filed.
The attachments were logged.
The misconduct was named.
And SWANK — is the archive they didn’t expect to be filing back.

This wasn’t a cry for help.
It was a forensic rebuke.
