“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. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

The Parent Provided the Care. The State Provided the Silence.



⟡ “We’re Out of Breath, But Still More Competent Than You.” ⟡
Two disabled American children. One disabled American parent. No help — just a politely ignored email.

An unhinged act of maternal competence, sent to a consultant, a safeguarding team, and the abyss.


I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic documented a respiratory emergency affecting her children, Heir and Kingdom. Oxygen was low. Airflow was laboured. The parent was administering albuterol treatments and requesting a next-morning consultation — while managing fear, trauma, and institutional betrayal.

Rather than call emergency services, she wrote an email. Not out of indifference, but because she already knew the hospital was dangerous.

She even copied Kirsty Hornal and Laura Savage. They did not respond.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Oxygen saturation concerns for two U.S. citizen children

  • Repeated systemic neglect in past emergencies

  • The emotional calculus of choosing to breathe at home rather than suffer retaliation at hospital

  • A safeguarding team’s refusal to treat this as urgent

  • A medical system that watches instead of acts


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because silence is not neutrality.
Because emailing for help should not be a gamble.
Because no child should have to cough while their mother drafts proof.

And because the state read this email… and shrugged.


IV. Violations

  • Passive neglect by both NHS and Westminster social care

  • Breach of Section 20 Equality Act: verbal disability ignored

  • Human rights breach: Article 3 (degrading treatment) and Article 8 (family life)

  • Retaliatory abandonment following previous complaints

  • Medical risk escalation caused by institutional inaction


V. SWANK’s Position

Polly asked for help —
clearly, clinically, and with evidence.

They offered no adjustment.
No medical plan.
No reply.

Just breathless children and archived neglect.

So here it is.
In writing.
Forever.

I Couldn’t Speak. You Called It Silence.



⟡ You Watched Me Collapse in Real Time. Then Asked for Updates. ⟡
“I was gasping. You were silent. And then you asked if I’d followed up.”

Personal email to Westminster Children’s Services describing exhaustion, unacknowledged communication barriers, and failure to coordinate with NHS providers during ongoing medical crises.


I. What Happened

On 14 December 2024, the parent sent a written statement to Westminster Children’s Services after weeks of institutional disengagement and safeguarding interference.

The message included:

  • Confirmation that the parent was physically unwell and emotionally drained

  • Reference to a total lack of response or coordination from WCC during repeated hospital visits

  • Frustration that she was expected to follow up with doctors — after having already done so in writing

  • A reminder that she was medically exempt from verbal communication and had provided documentation repeatedly

  • A sense of procedural gaslighting: “I was dying. You didn’t notice.”

The message was not a request for contact. It was a notification of harm.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Westminster failed to respond to multiple written medical updates

  • That disability adjustments were again ignored, even while the parent was visibly unwell

  • That the burden of coordination was placed entirely on a disabled parent under stress

  • That safeguarding oversight occurred without support, acknowledgment, or collaboration

  • That the system’s silence was not benign — it was erasure


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a disabled mother is gasping for air,
and the system asks why she hasn’t followed up,
that’s not just failure —
that’s institutional mockery.

Because when they expect updates from the person they refused to accommodate,
you’re not seeing a lack of care.
You’re seeing the strategy of plausible deniability.

And because when no one replies,
the archive does.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
    Failure to honour written-only communication adjustment

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 3 and 8
    Psychological and physical distress exacerbated by institutional silence

  • Children Act 1989 / 2004
    Refusal to engage in active safeguarding coordination with NHS teams

  • Care Act 2014 – Communication Duty
    Failure to communicate during active medical risk scenarios


V. SWANK’s Position

We did follow up.
You just didn’t read it.

We did escalate.
You just didn’t respond.

This wasn’t neglect.
It was willful silence.

So we sent one last email —
and now, we’ve filed it.
