“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.

Postponed the Meeting, But Not the Meddling.


⟡ He Postponed the Meeting — But Not the Meddling. ⟡
When PLO gets rescheduled but the surveillance doesn’t.

Filed: 2 May 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/EMAIL-08

An official email from Sam Brown confirming a PLO postponement, while continuing to pressure for CIN visits — citing “extracurriculars” and suggesting home access, despite formal objections and legal warnings.

I. What Happened

The PLO meeting was rescheduled.
The parent had already issued legal refusals.
Sam Brown acknowledged receipt — and then immediately pivoted to another door attempt.
He referenced extracurriculars. He mentioned availability. He called it support.
The email reads like a polite break-in request with a timestamp.

II. What the Email Establishes

  • That Sam Brown received and acknowledged the parent’s formal correspondence

  • That the PLO was postponed but CIN intrusion continued

  • That safeguarding staff were still attempting indirect contact after lawful refusal

  • That the parent was once again being pressured into in-home compliance under the guise of scheduling

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because “rescheduling” should not mean “re-escalating.”
Because CIN is not a loophole when PLO hits a wall.
And because when someone says no, you don’t send a calendar invite — you stop.

IV. Violations Identified

  • Continued Procedural Pressure After Formal Refusal

  • Misuse of Extracurricular References to Justify Contact

  • Obfuscation of Legal Boundaries in Safeguarding Language

  • Disregard for Ongoing Police Reports and Active Complaints

  • Strategic Institutional Persistence Framed as Support

V. SWANK’s Position

The message was received. The postponement was noted. The response was published.
You cannot cancel a meeting and then try to sneak in the back door.
Safeguarding isn’t a game of scheduling — it’s a matter of consent.
And this mother already withdrew hers.

It Wasn’t About Support — It Was About Control.


⟡ They Wanted Phone Numbers. She Filed a Letter Instead. ⟡
Because when safeguarding is used as surveillance, “no” is not just an answer — it’s a submission.

A formal response to Westminster Children’s Services rejecting the demand for additional private contacts, citing procedural abuse and safeguarding misuse.

I. What Happened

Westminster requested personal contact details, not for support — but for scrutiny.
Under the guise of “safeguarding engagement,” they sought to expand institutional access to third parties.
The mother declined.
This is the record of that refusal, and the legal justification behind it.

II. What the Refusal Establishes

  • That contact disclosure was being used as a coercive mechanism, not a safeguarding necessity

  • That Westminster’s inquiries exceeded lawful and ethical scope

  • That the mother had a legal and evidentiary basis to reject the request

  • That the state does not have the right to surveil beyond the family it already targets

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because safeguarding is not a fishing expedition.
Because “support network” does not mean “list of people to intimidate.”
Because the state’s power ends where private life begins.
And because refusing unlawful intrusion is not obstruction — it’s resistance.

IV. Violations Identified

  • Overreach in Data Collection

  • Misuse of Safeguarding Protocols

  • Procedural Intimidation via Contact Demands

  • Invasion of Family Privacy

  • Breach of Trust in Professional Inquiry

V. SWANK’s Position

This refusal is not emotional. It is evidentiary.
It is a line drawn between lawful inquiry and institutional harassment.
The request was not innocent. The response was not ambiguous.
It was “no” — in writing, on record, and now, online.

If I’m Not a Concern, Stop Using Me as Your Administrative Filler

 📨 SWANK Dispatch: You Said the Threshold Wasn’t Met — So Why Was I Ever on Your Radar?

🗓️ 3 November 2023

Filed Under: social worker gaslighting, closed-case hypocrisy, safeguarding theatre, RBKC procedural fluff, institutional deflection, chronic illness dismissal, sewer gas impact, retaliatory referral, threshold misuse

“You said I didn’t meet the threshold.
But I was still assessed.
Still watched.
Still referred.
Still traumatised.”
— A Mother Who Has Survived More Than One System’s Curiosity

This tepid reply from Eric Wedge-Bull, following a safeguarding referral instigated by a misinformed doctor at St. Thomas’, showcases the now-familiar bureaucratic manoeuvre: acknowledge concern, admit no failure, offer no repair.

Despite admitting that:

  • The threshold of concern was not met

  • No further action was needed

  • The family declined support

…the case still:

  • Triggered yet another official assessment

  • Was linked to a hospital encounter rooted in medical ignorance

  • Failed to note the ongoing environmental hazard (sewer gas exposure)

🚮 I. What Was Actually Happening

Polly had:

  • Severe symptoms of sewer gas poisoning

  • Chronic eosinophilic asthma, which the attending physician failed to understand

  • Attended A&E for support, only to be referred for child abuse

  • Explained herself clearly — yet the system defaulted to suspicion

🎭 II. The Social Worker’s Performance

Eric writes:

“Apologies if our last ending felt unclear to you…”

Translation: We decided the case was nothing, but couldn’t say so directly because paperwork.

“We agreed that the concerns… did not reach our threshold of involvement.”

But you were involved. You completed an assessment. You just didn’t find evidence.
That’s not exoneration. That’s institutional voyeurism.

📌 III. SWANK Summary

The only thing more exhausting than illness
is being observed while ill
by people who know nothing
and write everything.

If there’s no threshold,
there should be no file.

Surveilled, Not Supported: The TCI Department That Wouldn’t Leave


⟡ SWANK International Harassment Archive ⟡
“You’re Being Investigated Because You Keep Asking Why You’re Being Investigated”
Filed: 1 November 2016
Reference: SWANK/TCI/SOCIALDEV-HARASSMENT-TIMELINE-01
📎 Download PDF – 2016-11-01_SWANK_SocialDevelopment_Harassment_Timeline_TCI.pdf
Author: Polly Chromatic

I. This Wasn’t Oversight. It Was Performance Art in a Government Lanyard.

This timeline documents a multi-year siege by the Department of Social Development in the Turks and Caicos Islands — an institution that neither protected nor clarified, but simply appeared. Repeatedly. Without warrant, without coherence, and without shame.

At the centre:

  • A mother who homeschooled legally

  • Children dragged into systems meant to protect them

  • And a parade of officials who mistook persistence for legitimacy

No crime. No threshold. No transparency.
Just paperwork, intimidation, and silence — dressed as duty.

This wasn’t investigation.
It was bureaucratic loitering with a clipboard.

II. What the Timeline Proves

That the Department of Social Development:

  • Failed to articulate the legal basis of its repeated interventions

  • Ignored written educational permissions under national law

  • Demanded personal documents without formal justification

  • Engaged in home intrusions, hospital coercion, and adjustment-violating behaviour

  • Repeatedly withheld case reports — in breach of the Children Ordinance

And most offensively:
Claimed to act in the child’s best interest while institutionalising distrust as policy.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because harassment is not legitimised by timestamps.
Because endless “visits” without resolution constitute state stalking.
Because the only thing more dangerous than unchecked authority is unchecked routine.

We filed this because:

  • No parent should have to document this much to justify peace

  • No child should grow up surveilled instead of supported

  • No department should be allowed to wear the word “development” while obstructing it

Let the record show:

The family complied.
The state escalated.
The questions were lawful.
The answers were never delivered.
And SWANK — delivers the audit instead.

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept surveillance disguised as safeguarding.
We do not accept silence when law demands explanation.
We do not accept social workers acting as both enforcers and forgetters.

Let the record show:

The dates were recorded.
The names were repeated.
The intrusion was patterned.
And the archive — is now permanent.

This wasn’t protection.
It was a government hobby with no exit strategy.

Asthma, Intellect, and the Fantasy of Abandonment


⟡ I Was Dying. They Searched My House. ⟡

Filed: 18 October 2021
Reference: SWANK/TCI/2021-POLICE-SOCIALDEV-BREACH
📎 Download PDF — 2021-10-18_SWANK_TCI_SocialDevPoliceMisconduct_EmergencyRetaliation_Godet_Taylor.pdf

I. A Breathing Emergency. A Forced Investigation. A State That Couldn’t Wait.

This document records a singular horror: a respiratory medical collapse, followed not by care or pause — but by a raid.

What the timeline shows:

  • An emergency ambulance was called

  • The parent was unconscious and removed to hospital

  • While she was gone, police and social workers entered the home

  • Children were questioned, separated, and threatened

  • One child — with an intellectual disability — was asked who would take care of them now

No warrant.
No safeguarding trigger.
Just institutional presumption masquerading as procedure.

This wasn’t welfare.
This was retaliation — activated by vulnerability.

II. The Scene They Created

Present:

  • Social worker Vernita Godet

  • Officer Kayon Taylor

  • Multiple uniformed police

  • Children — one still recovering from trauma, one neurodivergent, all terrified

The mother had just been hospitalised for Eosinophilic Asthma — an emergency for which she was medically shielded and previously endangered.

She returned to:

  • Her children visibly shaken

  • Her home violated

  • Her authority as a parent treated as null

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because this was not an oversight.
It was a state-led dramaturgy of suspicion — staged while the mother was unconscious.

Because when social workers exploit medical trauma as a moment to assert jurisdiction, they do not protect children — they perform authority.

Because when you’re ill, and alone, and disabled —
they assume you are unfit.
And when you recover, they expect silence.

But SWANK files instead.

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not consider forced entry during a medical crisis to be lawful contact.
We do not accept the use of children’s confusion as investigatory leverage.
We do not mistake a uniform for legitimacy.

Let the record show:

  • The mother was hospitalised

  • The children were traumatised

  • The state interpreted illness as abandonment

  • And SWANK — interpreted that as breach

This is not drama.
This is procedure deployed as punishment.
