“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. When the Island Refused to Let You Live Quietly

What begins as a homeschooling notice soon unfolds into a four-year cross-agency siege — complete with unlawful home visits, forced medical exposure, disability disregard, and the most colonial form of social work imaginable: a never-ending case with no purpose.

This timeline is not anecdotal. It is chronological evidence of:

  • Social workers yelling through windows

  • Repeated breaches of asthma-related shielding

  • Forced inspections under COVID-19 Emergency Powers

  • A parade of apologies issued only after violations occurred

They asked for your income, your credentials, your curriculum, your compliance — and after all that, still refused to close the case.

This was not protection. This was sustained jurisdictional trespass.

II. Key Figures in the Procedural Ballet

  • Ashley Adams-Forbes – Deputy Director, professional deflector.

  • Jaala Kennedy – Social worker, named throughout the harassment chain.

  • Mark Garland – Education official used as a shield when convenient, and discarded when not.

  • Unnamed truancy officer – Appears like a storm, disappears without accountability.

All appear in the timeline. All remain unapologetically unaccountable.

III. Why SWANK Filed This

Because transnational surveillance is still surveillance.
Because being medically high-risk and home-educating your children should not trigger state suspicion.
Because a jurisdictional violation, whether in Westminster or Grand Turk, deserves to be filed with consequence.

Let the record show:

  • You complied with every law

  • You submitted every curriculum

  • You documented every intrusion

  • They documented none of their own

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not consider “random visits” to be harmless.
We do not accept “ongoing concerns” with no statutory basis.
We do not believe that colonial-style bureaucracy disguised as support is benign.

This wasn’t oversight.
This was procedural tourism with power fantasies attached.

And now, it is archived.
With names. With dates. With fury in Helvetica.
