“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.

On the Aromatics of Negligence: Thames Water and the Sewer Gas That Wasn't Worth Their Time

Effluence and Evasion: The Sewer Gas That Came With Silence

In the Matter of Thames Water, Miasmic Contempt, and the Indifference to Toxic Air


📎 Metadata

Filed: 7 July 2025
Reference Code: SWL-ENV-0624-THAMES-LEAK
Court File Name: 2025-06-24_SWANK_Complaint_ThamesWater_SewerGasMishandling
1-line summary: Thames Water ignored serious health hazard caused by prolonged sewer gas leak, despite formal complaint


I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic filed a formal complaint to Thames Water regarding a chronic sewer gas leak at her residence, which triggered respiratory symptoms in multiple children and preceded a series of medical and institutional escalations.

The leak was not addressed with urgency. It was not acknowledged with consequence. Instead, a form-letter autoresponse was issued — the bureaucratic equivalent of spraying air freshener on a fire.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Documented report of toxic exposure

  • Reference number issued: 32SMC0053422

  • Notification sent to CCW (Consumer Council for Water)

  • No active follow-up, inspection, or remediation initiated

This case reflects not only neglect, but institutional arrogance: the presumption that environmental illness can be administratively ignored into nonexistence.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because sewer gas is not symbolic — it is chemical.
Because silence from Thames Water created a domino effect of harm:
Respiratory crises. Hospital visits. Safeguarding misjudgments.
A health hazard became a social work case because no one from Thames Water could be bothered to care.

SWANK records the non-response as a root cause of procedural catastrophe. They let poison linger in the air — then shrugged at its consequences.


IV. Violations and Implications

  • Environmental neglect of a known toxic hazard

  • Failure to assess risk to minor children and medically vulnerable occupants

  • Breach of duty in responding to formal health-related complaints

  • Causal contribution to a downstream cascade of medical, educational, and legal destabilisation

Let it be noted: where the air was poisoned, the silence was deliberate.


V. SWANK’s Position

This is a case of evidentiary rot — both literal and legal.
Thames Water’s failure to respond meaningfully to a documented sewer gas leak places them not only in breach of environmental expectation, but in the direct causal chain of systemic collapse.

Every safeguarding overreach, every hospitalisation, every relocation and court intervention — began with air made dangerous and a utility company that treated oxygen as optional.

Ten Years of Damage for a False Suspicion You Can’t Let Go Of.

YOUR VISITS CAUSE RESPIRATORY COLLAPSE. YET YOU KEEP KNOCKING.

💌 “INTERVENTION”? WE CALL IT CONTAMINATION.

“Every time a social worker comes in our home we are all sick for the next two to four weeks with a respiratory virus.”

What you term a “home visit” registers, medically, as pathogenic incursion.
You are not helping. You are shedding.
Your safeguarding theatre releases more illness than insight.


🫁 ASTHMA IS A DIAGNOSIS—NOT A DEBATE TOPIC.

“I have stated repeatedly that we all suffer from eosinophilic asthma…”

And yet: no protective protocol, no clinical precaution, no intellectual humility.
You respond to eosinophils with clipboard cynicism.
Asthma isn’t invisible—it’s merely ignored when inconvenient.


🗓 TEN YEARS. ZERO OUTCOMES. COUNTLESS INFECTIONS.

“Your investigations never end… they have wasted ten years of our lives.”

You’ve replaced education with disruption.
You’ve buried truth beneath paperwork.
You’ve built careers atop my children's breathlessness.

All while declaring yourselves “helpful.”


📎 VERBAL INTERACTION = DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION

“I cannot speak verbally. Please email only. I do not own a phone.”

It’s not a quirk. It’s a legal boundary.
If you cannot accommodate the medically necessary,
you are not conducting a visit—you are performing a breach.

We Asked for Help with Sewer Gas. You Threatened Removal. Now We’re Litigating.



⟡ We Were Sick. You Watched. Now We're Filing. ⟡
“The children were coughing from sewer gas. You asked about bedtime instead.”

A formal statement of lived harm, institutional denial, and declared legal action sent to Westminster Children’s Services following months of ignored illness and retaliatory safeguarding.


I. What Happened

On 14 December 2024, the parent sent a conclusive statement to Westminster Children’s Services, referencing:

  • Prolonged sewer gas exposure in the family home

  • Ongoing respiratory distress, infections, and institutional abandonment

  • Threats of section 47s, removals, and child protection measures in place of support

  • Her refusal to accept the narrative of safeguarding, instead confirming active legal action

  • The toll of surveillance, false concern, and the use of bureaucratic power to erase responsibility

The message is part summary, part indictment — and entirely evidentiary.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Westminster had been repeatedly informed of medical and environmental danger and failed to intervene

  • That the home remained toxic and uninspected, while social workers threatened removals

  • That the parent was subjected to escalating distress while her children became ill

  • That the email functions not as a request for remedy — but as notice of claim

  • That systemic indifference crossed into psychological violence and environmental abuse


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when your family is coughing from toxic gas and all they offer is surveillance,
you’re not receiving safeguarding —
you’re surviving it.

Because when illness is ignored but parenting is questioned,
you’re not being protected. You’re being positioned.

And when you write to say “I’m suing you,”
you’ve already tried everything else.

This wasn’t a breakdown.
It was a record.
And now, it’s public.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 / 2004
    Failure to ensure child welfare in a hazardous home environment

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 3 and 8
    Inhuman treatment via neglect, interference with private life under state surveillance

  • Public Sector Equality Duty
    Systemic disregard of medically disabled parent and her environment

  • Environmental Protection Act 1990
    Neglect of sewer gas exposure constituting health hazard

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 20 and 27
    Failure to accommodate disability and retaliatory safeguarding actions


V. SWANK’s Position

You knew.
You didn’t act.
We got sick.
You threatened removal.
And now — we’re filing.

This wasn’t about concern.
It was about control.

This isn’t just a statement.
It’s your pre-litigation notice.
