“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.

Why I Leave the Room When the Frequency Lies



⟡ The Day I Reported a Social Worker for Coercive Control ⟡
“She said it was voluntary — right before she escalated it to court.”

Filed: 16 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/POLICE-01
📎 Download PDF – 2025-04-16_SWANK_PoliceReport_KirstyHornal_CoerciveControlNegligence.pdf
Metropolitan Police report submitted against social worker Kirsty Hornal citing coercive control, medical negligence, and record falsification.


I. What Happened

On 16 April 2025, a formal police report was submitted by a disabled parent against Kirsty Hornal, a senior social worker at Westminster Children’s Services.

The report details a pattern of:

  • Coercive control

  • Procedural retaliation following complaints

  • Forced verbal interaction despite known respiratory disability

  • Misuse and falsification of records to justify unnecessary safeguarding escalation

  • Negligent exposure to harm during periods of illness, including after a sewer gas leak

The time frame covers 1 May 2024 to 16 April 2025 — a full year of systemic disregard, culminating in an unlawful PLO threat delivered shortly after this complaint was made.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Kirsty Hornal used her position to retaliate against a parent who asserted legal boundaries

  • That medical evidence was routinely dismissed or used manipulatively

  • That home visits were conducted during illness, despite being medically harmful

  • That procedural steps were taken after a police report — not before

  • That Westminster leveraged escalation to neutralise legal exposure, not to protect children


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a social worker is reported to police, and the only institutional response is escalation, we are no longer dealing with child protection — we are documenting institutional retaliation.

This report was filed not because of a single action, but because of an organised pattern:

  • Ignoring medical limitations

  • Misrepresenting facts in records

  • Exerting pressure while claiming “voluntariness”

  • Retaliating after a complaint

  • Escalating to PLO after a police report

This is not frontline error.
This is administrative coercion in slow motion.


IV. Violations

  • Serious Misconduct – Police Referral (Single Online Home)
    Submitted under risk to life, health, and liberty

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
    Repeated breach of reasonable adjustments (respiratory disability)

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 6, 8, 14
    Discrimination, interference with private life, denial of justice

  • Children Act 1989 / 2004
    Safeguarding law used in bad faith after retaliation

  • Protection from Harassment Act 1997
    Pattern of unwanted contact after lawful refusal


V. SWANK’s Position

This was not an oversight.
This was retaliation wrapped in a visit.

This was not safeguarding.
This was state coercion weaponised against disability.

When complaints are followed by PLO letters —
When disability is met with surveillance —
When records are edited but reality is not —

We document. You escalate.
We archive. You deny.
We file. And now, we publish.

They Wanted Me to Complain Quietly. I Published Instead.



⟡ They Bullied Me at the Hospital. Then Filed a Report About Me. So I Filed One About Them. ⟡
“They told me to use the complaints process. I used the internet.”

Filed: 21 November 2024
Reference: SWANK/NHS-MPS/EMAILS-11
📎 Download PDF – 2024-11-21_SWANK_EmailComplaint_MetPolice_NHSBullying_ReportDeflection_PublicDisclosure.pdf
Formal statement to the Metropolitan Police, Westminster Children’s Services, and NHS staff responding to retaliatory complaint practices by hospital authorities and the refusal of police to act.


I. What Happened

On 21 November 2024, the parent filed a statement with the Metropolitan Police documenting:

  • Sustained bullying and harassment from NHS hospital staff

  • The pattern of hospitals filing reports against her only when she refuses to accept mistreatment

  • The refusal of the police to investigate or act, citing the matter as “civil”

  • Her explicit refusal to engage with institutional complaints procedures designed to silence abuse

  • Her decision to archive, publish, and escalate the pattern through SWANK and public record channels

The message was also sent to social worker Kirsty Hornal, NHS GP Dr Philip Reid, and legal representatives. The subject line was crystal clear: “Now you have the truth.”


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That the NHS has repeatedly retaliated against a disabled parent via safeguarding escalation when challenged

  • That hospital staff used internal reporting to weaponise professional standing rather than provide care

  • That the Metropolitan Police refused to act, advising the parent to “speak to PALS”

  • That the parent rejected internal complaints systems as futile and chose transparency instead

  • That safeguarding escalation continues to function as reputational control, not protection


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when the same hospital that dismissed your oxygen crisis tries to call the police on you for defending your child,
you’re not in a healthcare setting —
you’re in an institutional theatre.

Because when the police tell you it’s not criminal to be bullied by doctors,
they’re not protecting the public — they’re preserving the hierarchy.

And because when the system tells you to file a complaint,
but never responds to one,
you stop playing their game —
and start building your own archive.


IV. Violations

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 3, 6, and 8
    Psychological harm from institutional retaliation; denial of remedy and due process

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 27
    Victimisation after asserting disability rights

  • Care Act 2014 – Duty of Safeguarding
    Misuse of safeguarding escalation in response to protected disclosure

  • Freedom of Expression – ECHR Article 10
    Protected right to document, share, and publish public interest records outside institutional complaint loops


V. SWANK’s Position

This was not a complaint.
It was a declaration of refusal.

This wasn’t about being heard.
It was about being recorded.

They wanted a form.
We gave them a file.
They wanted silence.
We gave them SWANK.

The Risk Was Medical. The Refusal Was Historical.



⟡ We Stayed Home. Because the Last Time, the Hospital Refused to Help. ⟡
“She chose a nebuliser over an emergency room. I didn’t blame her.”

Filed: 21 November 2024
Reference: SWANK/WCC-NHS/EMAILS-10
📎 Download PDF – 2024-11-21_SWANK_EmailUpdate_WCC-NHS_HonorHomeTreatment_PriorHospitalHarm.pdf
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.

What I Filed. Why I Survived. Who Lied.



⟡ I Told the Police I Would Not Be Quiet. And Then I Hit Publish. ⟡
“They sent me a template. I sent them a PDF.”

Filed: 21 November 2024
Reference: SWANK/MPS/EMAILS-12
📎 Download PDF – 2024-11-21_SWANK_EmailResponse_MetPolice_HospitalRetaliation_PublicPostingDeclaration.pdf
Parent’s direct reply to Metropolitan Police following hospital safeguarding retaliation. Document affirms refusal to engage with internal complaints processes and confirms public interest publication strategy.


I. What Happened

On 21 November 2024, following multiple incidents of NHS mistreatment and a retaliatory safeguarding report filed against her, the parent forwarded a message to the Metropolitan Police.

The email included:

  • previous complaint about hospital bullying and safeguarding abuse

  • The police’s dismissive response, instructing her to raise concerns with the NHS directly

  • A firm declaration that she no longer trusts institutional pathways

  • A clear statement that she will be publicly archiving, posting, and reporting all misconduct for legal, social, and protective purposes

She stated plainly:

“I do not wish to raise a concern about a police officer. I wish to log a history of abuse so I can protect myself from retaliation.”


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That the police refused to act on NHS bullying reports related to disability and safeguarding retaliation

  • That the parent was not attempting to file a complaint — she was protecting herself in writing

  • That the public posting of documents is not a threat — it is a reasonable safeguard

  • That the parent had already attempted multiple internal avenues — and been ignored or harmed

  • That the record is now external, timestamped, and non-negotiable


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a police officer tells you to take your abuse report back to the people who abused you,
they’re not resolving the issue — they’re recycling it.

Because when you say:

“I’ve archived the pattern and will keep publishing it,”
that’s not aggression —
that’s survival.

You don’t owe these institutions silence.
You owe yourself the record.

And now, so do they.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 27
    Victimisation through refusal to engage with safeguarding-related discrimination claims

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 3, 6, and 8
    Denial of remedy, degrading treatment, refusal of process

  • Police Code of Ethics – Integrity and Respect
    Failure to investigate or acknowledge serious allegations of institutional retaliation

  • Freedom of Expression – ECHR Article 10
    Lawful right to archive and publish evidence of institutional abuse in the public interest


V. SWANK’s Position

This was not a complaint.
It was a withdrawal of trust.

This wasn’t an escalation.
It was a declaration.

They closed the door.
So we built the archive.

And now, every reply is public.
Every silence is logged.
And every refusal gets a file name.

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.”

Filed: 21 November 2024
Reference: SWANK/NHS/EMAILS-17
📎 Download PDF – 2024-11-21_SWANK_EmailIncident_NHSStMarys_AandE_Disbelief_Interruption_MedicalDismissal.pdf
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.

Coherence, Alignment, and the Ethics of Output



⟡ When the Hospital Refuses to Treat You and Calls a Social Worker Instead ⟡
“I went to breathe. They sent police. And now I need a psychologist to recover from the psychologist they sabotaged.”

Filed: 30 October 2024
Reference: SWANK/WCC-NHS/EMAILS-04
📎 Download PDF – 2024-10-30_SWANK_EmailSummary_WCC_MedicalNeglect_SafeguardingRetaliation.pdf
Formal written summary to Westminster staff outlining a one-year pattern of NHS neglect, racialised assumptions, police overreach, and social work retaliation.


I. What Happened

On 30 October 2024, the parent submitted an email to Westminster Children’s Services detailing an unbroken chain of trauma and procedural abuse:

  • Five asthma attacks treated as behavioural issues in A&E

  • Two hospitals that refused care while summoning social services

  • Accusations of abuse during active medical distress

  • A birthday ruined by police in a hotel room while the parent was seeking urgent care

  • Social workers who lied to a treating psychologist, blocking access to mental health support

The email is addressed to Kirsty Hornal. It does not contain legal theory. It contains testimony.

And now it contains a record.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That racial and disability profiling in NHS emergency departments triggered unnecessary safeguarding referrals

  • That the family experienced dual-agency trauma — medical dismissal followed by social work escalation

  • That psychiatric care was actively sabotaged by the institution claiming to be concerned

  • That children were directly harmed by the institutional response to their mother’s health crisis

  • That no institution — not the hospital, nor social services — acted to repair the harm caused


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when you go to the hospital to get air, and leave with a social worker — you’re not being assessed.
You’re being profiled.

Because when nine police officers are sent to a hotel on your child’s birthday — it’s not support.
It’s a message.

Because when a psychologist is contacted and misled to stop her from treating you —
You are not under care.
You are under control.

This email is not just a trauma log.
It is an institutional map of harm, sent to the very people who orchestrated it.

And now, it is archived.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Sections 19 and 20
    Discrimination by association (race), failure to implement medical and psychiatric adjustments

  • Children Act 1989 / 2004
    Harm to children through unjustified intervention and prolonged distress

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 3, 6, 8, 14
    Degrading treatment; denial of private life, health support, and fair process

  • Data Protection Act 2018 / UK GDPR
    Misuse of personal data to block access to independent psychological care

  • NHS Duty of Care (Common Law + GMC Guidelines)
    Negligence in treatment during respiratory emergency, racialised escalation


V. SWANK’s Position

This was not a safeguarding concern.
It was a multi-agency breakdown engineered through institutional arrogance.

This was not “confusion” between services.
It was discrimination passed between departments like liability hot-potato.

The trauma is cumulative.
The response is performative.
And the archive is permanent.

We said we couldn’t breathe.
You gave us a referral.
We sent you an email.
Now we file it.

Ten Months, One Lawyer, Zero Replies.



⟡ When You Email a Social Worker’s Entire Chain of Command — and Still Get Silence ⟡
“Ten months of investigation. Zero answers. One archived objection.”

Filed: 30 October 2024
Reference: SWANK/WCC/EMAILS-07
📎 Download PDF – 2024-10-30_SWANK_EmailObjection_WCC_ProceduralDelay_CulturalCritique_LegalNeglect.pdf
Formal objection to Westminster Children’s Services for prolonged silence, unanswered legal representation, and cultural disregard during an open investigation.


I. What Happened

On 30 October 2024, the parent emailed Westminster Children’s Services after ten months of investigation had yielded:

  • No clear procedural updates

  • No closure of allegations

  • No response to her lawyer’s formal correspondence

  • And no accountability for repeated harassment and system failure

The message, sent to multiple social workers, NHS staff, police officers, and legal advisors, included a blunt summary of frustration and formal fatigue.

And in classic Westminster style — they didn’t answer.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Westminster received a legal inquiry from a solicitor — and failed to respond

  • That social services continued to escalate contact while withholding procedural updates

  • That communication with a disabled parent requiring written contact was deliberately delayed

  • That the institution created a hostile climate of uncertainty and intimidation

  • That the complaint is not about confusion — it’s about control through silence


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when an investigation lasts ten months and delivers no closure, you’re not safeguarding —
you’re sustaining procedural fog.

Because when a solicitor writes to your office and gets nothing back, it’s not an oversight —
it’s institutional contempt.

And because when the parent you’re investigating is disabled, medically documented, and legally represented —
you’re not confused. You’re exposed.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
    Failure to respond via reasonable adjustment pathway (written communication)

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 6 and 8
    Denial of access to fair process; interference with private and family life

  • Children Act 1989 / 2004
    Procedural mismanagement of ongoing investigation involving minor children

  • Data Protection Act 2018 / UK GDPR
    Delay in responding to formal requests and legal correspondence

  • Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED)
    Ongoing failure to acknowledge or account for compounded disability impacts


V. SWANK’s Position

This was not a missed message.
It was deliberate omission.

This wasn’t miscommunication.
It was procedural erosion — in slow motion.

You had the email.
You had the legal representative.
You had ten months.
And still — you chose silence.

We didn’t get closure.
So you get archived.
