⟡ SWANK Closure Dispatch ⟡
9 February 2024
If You’ve Read the File, Respect the Boundary
I. The Final Exchange in a Redundant Cycle
Despite multiple written replies, documentary attachments, and formally declared boundaries, Samira Issa of RBKC Children’s Services persists in extending the St. Thomas Hospital referral thread—an incident dated 2 January 2024and already addressed.
Her requests?
A phone call (already medically declined)
An in-person meeting
Another verbal re-performance of information already submitted
Polly Chromatic responds with exactly what the situation deserves:
“Nothing new has happened and I do not have time. Thank you.”
A sentence.
A dismissal.
A boundary sealed in ink.
II. When Social Work Reads the File—But Still Contacts You Anyway
Samira declares:
“I have read them all.”
And yet—she writes again.
This is not trauma-informed care.
This is trauma recursion.
Let the record show:
The matter concerns a single medical incident, already closed
Polly has documented asthma and a written-only communication adjustment
A solicitor has been instructed
Continued contact is, by her own declaration, harassment
Still, Samira re-engages.
Still, the cycle loops.
Still, the stress mounts.
This is not support.
It is institutional antagonism.
III. The Logic of Dismissal, Stylised
Polly does not argue.
She does not explain.
She does not apologise.
“Nothing new has happened and I do not have time.”
It is minimalist legal clarity.
It is a communication doctrine.
It is, in SWANK terms, a mic-drop in lowercase.

The fifth time you answer the same question, it’s no longer your job to explain. It’s theirs to stop.
