📎 SWANK Dispatch: Repetition as Retaliation — We've Already Been Assessed
🗓️ 3 March 2024
Filed Under: repeated assessments, recycled allegations, RBKC child protection abuse, respiratory discrimination, Section 47 misuse, Samira Issa misconduct, safeguarding as punishment, police and hospital cleared, social work overreach, verbal coercion of disabled parent
“We did this already.
Twice.
You just didn’t like the outcome.”
— Polly Chromatic, chronically ill mother facing a third assessment for the same 2022 concerns
In this terse, precise letter dated 3 March 2024, Noelle Meline addresses the sustained institutional harassment led by Samira Issa, social worker at RBKC, who escalated a case based on medically-triggered communication difficulties and already-resolved allegations from 2022.
Despite:
A full assessment in November 2022
A second full assessment in June 2023
No action by police
No findings by hospital staff
And documented health conditions impairing her ability to speak
Samira continues to escalate based on claims that have already been addressed — and disproven.
📄 I. A Breakdown of the Pattern
Nurses: “We have no concerns.”
Then: “She may be intoxicated.”
Then: “She left the children alone.” (She didn’t.)
Now: “Concerns from 2022.” (Addressed. Twice.)
And all of it ignored the fact that Polly was acutely ill and had informed them repeatedly that she could not speak.
🧠 II. Her Children Are Educated — That's the Problem
They are homeschooled across global curricula
They engage regularly in cultural and community activities
They have already discussed sensitive topics in past assessments — including family history
But that intellectual sovereignty appears to be threatening to systems that thrive on compliance.
🧾 SWANK Commentary
Disability became a reason
to question her parenting.
Intelligence became a reason
to assume danger.
Repetition became
institutional punishment.
When you demand that a breathless mother
repeat herself for the third time —
you’re not safeguarding.
You’re interrogating.
