I. A Government That Would Not Stop Arriving
This formal complaint was filed to the Complaints Commission of the Turks and Caicos Islands, after three years of institutional surveillance so repetitive, so medically reckless, so politely colonial — it became indistinguishable from harassment in slow motion.
The core facts:
The parent complied with all educational laws
The children were healthy, documented, and schooled
The mother had disabling respiratory illness
Yet despite this:
Unlawful home visits continued
Police were used to enforce attendance at the Ministry
A medical incident occurred on their premises
And even after all that?
They left the file open — “in case.”
This is not safeguarding. This is jurisdictional addiction.
II. What This Complaint Documented
This complaint was filed after obedience failed.
It includes allegations of:
Repeated breaches of medical shielding
Coercive requests for documents already submitted
Emotional harm to children through constant monitoring
The use of uniformed officers to enforce procedural humiliation
A complete absence of closure despite full compliance
It is not a request. It is a record of betrayal.
III. Who Was Involved
Named or implicated:
Ashley Adams-Forbes – orchestrating repeated visits
Truancy enforcement officers – untrained, unaccountable, and dispatched without legal basis
Ministry of Education staff – incapable of updating their own compliance records
Medical responders – present not as protectors, but as tools of compliance theatre
Let the record show: every name was already on file.
SWANK simply arranged the citation.
IV. SWANK’s Position
We do not consider repetitive intrusion to be care.
We do not confuse medical collapse with compliance failure.
We do not accept that silence from a Complaints Commission is neutrality.
This document was filed because:
The laws were followed
The mother was medically exempt
The record needed to exist — before they revised it
This is not vengeance. It is administrative survival.
