“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

I. Education Was Ended. Not Because of Failure — But Surveillance.

This letter marks the formal withdrawal of a child from Drayton Park Primary School. But it is not a note of absence.
It is an archival act of refusal — drafted in 2017 and preserved as the first documented severance from institutional trust.

The school was not the harm.

But it was where the harm was allowed proximity.


II. What the Letter Establishes

  • That the family experienced unwelcome contact from social services within the educational setting

  • That this contact was unexplained, intrusive, and unaccounted for

  • That the parent was already under observable emotional duress due to:

    • Previous procedural targeting

    • Surveillance disguised as assessment

  • That the decision to withdraw was:

    • Based on self-preservation

    • Made to shield children from further distress

    • And issued with legal dignity — not fear

This wasn’t a breakdown in education.

It was an end to institutional voyeurism with access to a child.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this letter foreshadowed everything:

  • The safeguarding threats

  • The surveillance escalation

  • The pattern of targeting medical mothers as administratively “non-compliant”

We archived it because:

  • It was a boundary drawn long before the archive existed

  • It signalled a precognitive refusal of the safeguarding-industrial complex

  • It was one of the earliest instances of written-only assertion against soft intimidation

Let the record show:

  • The parent was precise

  • The withdrawal was lawful

  • The trauma had precedent

  • And the letter — has now been published


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not erase early refusals just because the state did.
We do not treat educational withdrawal as disappearance.
We archive it as testament — and timeline entry.

Let the record show:

The social work intrusion began here.
The refusal began here.
The archive began here.
And SWANK — will not redact history to make them feel better about it.

This wasn’t a goodbye.
It was an opening statement — filed eight years early.
