“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.

The Risk Was Medical. The Refusal Was Historical.



⟡ We Stayed Home. Because the Last Time, the Hospital Refused to Help. ⟡

Medical update submitted to Westminster and NHS documenting home treatment for Honor’s respiratory distress following previous hospital-based trauma and institutional refusal to act.


I. What Happened

On the morning of 21 November 2024, the parent emailed both Westminster Children’s Services and GP Dr Philip Reid to confirm:

  • Her daughter Honor was undergoing albuterol nebuliser treatments at home

  • Oxygen levels remained low but within watchable range

  • The parent was monitoring the situation and would escalate to hospital if needed

  • Honor refused to go to A&E — citing trauma from previous visits where she and her mother were dismissed despite medical crisis

The message reiterated that this is exactly what had happened to the parent previously:
six months of untreated respiratory failure while being accused of non-compliance.

So this time, the family stayed home.
And this time, the system still stayed silent.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That the child’s oxygen levels were being actively managed with medical oversight

  • That the family had previously experienced institutional dismissal at hospital and feared repeat trauma

  • That the NHS was informed, as was the safeguarding authority

  • That no response, support, or safeguarding review followed

  • That refusal to seek care was a rational response to institutional harm, not neglect


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a child refuses to go to the hospital because she remembers how it felt to be disbelieved,
you don’t have a clinical problem —
you have an institutional injury.

Because when you choose to treat at home not out of defiance but out of trauma,
you are not refusing care —
you are refusing harm.

And when you warn them in writing and they say nothing,
they’re not documenting risk.
They’re demonstrating it.


IV. Violations

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 3 and 8
    Exposure to degrading treatment and interference with bodily autonomy and family protection

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
    Failure to respect disability-based limits on hospital care and verbal communication

  • Children Act 1989 / 2004
    Inaction following explicit notification of a child in medical distress

  • NHS Safeguarding and Risk Protocols
    Failure to respond to declared medical harm avoidance and home-based mitigation


V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t a wellness update.
It was an institutional indictment.

We didn’t stay home because it was safe.
We stayed home because they made the alternative worse.

So we wrote it down.
And now — we filed it.

She Was Discharged. I Collapsed. You Said Nothing.



⟡ She Got the Medication. I Lost My Breath. You Logged Neither. ⟡
“I sent you the treatment notes. I was the one who stopped breathing.”

Final update sent to Westminster Children’s Services confirming Honor’s hospital discharge plan and reporting parental collapse following the visit — untreated, unacknowledged, and ignored.


I. What Happened

On the evening of 21 November 2024, after securing Heir’s emergency care, the parent:

  • Sent a summary of discharge notes, including medication names and doses

  • Reiterated that Heir was now on prescribed antibiotics following respiratory crisis

  • Confirmed that the parent herself had collapsed shortly after returning home, due to respiratory exhaustion and stress

  • Stated clearly that the family had complied with all medical instructions

  • Received no meaningful response — only escalating safeguarding suspicion

This email was not a request.
It was a declaration of reality — one that Westminster refused to acknowledge.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Heir’s condition had been formally addressed by medical professionals

  • That parental illness and medical collapse were clearly reported in writing

  • That social services provided no check-in, no support, and no procedural response

  • That this silence was not oversight — it was policy

  • That survival was treated as defiance


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when you’ve completed the treatment,
documented every dose,
and reported your collapse —
and they still escalate against you —
that’s not risk management.
That’s targeted neglect.

Because they want the appearance of concern,
not the burden of accountability.

And because this time, it wasn’t just your daughter who needed medical attention —
it was you.
And they looked the other way.

So now we’ve looked back —
and filed it.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 / 2004
    Refusal to acknowledge or support a carer after crisis response

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
    Written-only adjustment ignored even during acute respiratory illness

  • Care Act 2014 – Carer Recognition Duty
    No action taken after collapse was formally reported

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 3 and 8
    Degrading treatment through institutional silence


V. SWANK’s Position

We didn’t need intervention.
We needed oxygen.

We didn’t refuse support.
We just didn’t beg for it.

This wasn’t neglect on our part.
It was silence on yours.

And now, that silence is documented —
and timestamped.

You Demanded Medical History, Then Refused to Hear It.



⟡ They Asked for Her History. Then Interrupted Every Time I Tried to Give It. ⟡
“I brought oxygen data. They brought doubt.”

Written report of St Mary’s A&E misconduct during Honor’s respiratory crisis, including disbelief in parental account, repeated interruption, and refusal to read prior medical documentation.


I. What Happened

On 21 November 2024, the parent attended St Mary’s Hospital A&E with her daughter Honor, who was experiencing dangerously low oxygen levels.

Instead of:

  • Listening

  • Reading the attached clinical data

  • Or responding with urgency

The attending staff:

  • Interrupted the parent repeatedly mid-sentence

  • Dismissed concerns with visible irritation

  • Refused to engage with provided evidence

  • Accused the parent of “not answering properly” — after refusing to let her speak

The parent documented the incident in an email immediately upon returning home, addressing it to Westminster Children’s Services and GP Dr. Reid.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Honor was not taken seriously by A&E staff, despite pre-documented oxygen distress

  • That the parent was disbelieved and silenced, despite having medical evidence

  • That the clinicians demanded history, then actively obstructed it

  • That this occurred in the context of active safeguarding surveillance, yet no institutional accountability followed

  • That institutional disbelief continues to operate as a default — especially toward disabled, female, and racialised parents


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when you say “my daughter can’t breathe,”
and they say “we don’t believe you” —
that’s not medicine. That’s misconduct.

Because when they ask for a history,
but refuse to let you speak,
you’re not a parent —
you’re a problem to be dismissed.

And because silence under oxygen strain is not a gap in your narrative.
It’s an indictment of theirs.


IV. Violations

  • NHS Constitution – Duty of Respect and Responsiveness
    Dismissal of medical concern, failure to read provided history

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 3 and 8
    Degrading treatment and interference with parental dignity and child welfare

  • Children Act 1989
    Neglect of clinical urgency and refusal to engage with parental safeguarding role

  • Equality Act 2010 – Sections 20 & 27
    Disability adjustment ignored, retaliatory silencing, gendered dismissal


V. SWANK’s Position

We didn’t interrupt them.
They interrupted us.

We didn’t withhold information.
They refused to hear it.

This wasn’t triage.
It was theatre.
And the script was already written.

Now we’re writing our own.
