⟡ SWANK Dispatch to the Human Rights Commission ⟡
A Documented Plea from the Architect of Her Own Sovereignty
15 July 2020
The Education They Feared Was Mine
I. The Official Petition They Chose to Dismiss
A mother—Polly Chromatic, lawfully authorised to homeschool by the Department of Education on 26 June 2017—was not persecuted for wrongdoing. She was persecuted for independence.
For three and a half years, she and her children were harassed under the grotesque guise of child “protection” by the Turks and Caicos Department of Social Development (DSD).
Their real grievance?
She refused to relinquish her children to the custody of unqualified, intrusive agents of the state.
And what did the state do in response?
Sanctioned sexual assault on her sons in a public exam room while she vocally objected.
Pushed harmful genital practices, in defiance of NHS medical standards and global human rights norms.
Illegally entered her property—seven times—with no warrant, no cause, and no consequence.
Violated lockdown protocols, endangering her life as a medically vulnerable person with eosinophilic asthma.
Demanded repeated “proof” of legitimacy—educational credentials, financial records, curriculum—submissions which were repeatedly ignored.
II. The Legal Framework They Pretended Not to Know
The following legislation was disregarded with bureaucratic arrogance:
Children (Care and Protection) Ordinance 2015: Mandates delivery of investigation reports to parents. None were ever given.
Education Ordinance 2009: Clearly permits homeschooling when authorised. Her approval was on record.
Emergency Powers (COVID-19) Regulations 2020: Barred non-urgent property entry. They entered anyway—no masks, no distancing, no justification.
Polly’s severe eosinophilic asthma, a medically documented condition, was treated not with caution, but contempt.
III. The Rights They Trampled Without Hesitation
The following rights under the Turks and Caicos Islands Constitution Order 2011 were egregiously violated:
Right to Life – Her condition was ignored, her exposure maximised.
Freedom of Conscience and Religion – Her environmental and health practices were mocked.
Right to Education – Homeschooling was treated as deviance, not lawful choice.
Protection from Discrimination – Based on cultural, medical, and educational identity.
Right to Private and Family Life – Her home became a revolving door for harassment.
Protection from Inhuman Treatment – The state humiliated, endangered, and punished.
Lawful Administrative Action – No hearings. No reports. No process. Just intrusion.
IV. The Timeline of Surveillance, Submission, and Refusal
📅 November 2016 – July 2020:
Repeated curriculum submissions and academic documentation
Verified credentials: BA, MA
Police reports filed and discarded
Warrantless property invasions
State-enabled hospital violations
COVID-19 threats to health and life
A constellation of unanswered, archived, and ignored correspondence
All documented.
All dismissed.
All damning.
