Chromatic v Westminster: In Re State Custody by Silence



“Removed, Silenced, Forgotten?”

An Emergency Application for the Restoration of Contact, Legality, and Basic Human Decency


Filed Date: 24 June 2025

Reference Code: SWANK/FAMCOURT/0624-CONTACT-EMERGENCY
Court Filename: 2025-06-24_SWANK_Application_CareOrder_EmergencyContactReinstatement
One-line Summary: Urgent request for reinstatement of contact and/or care after four U.S. citizen children were removed without notice or legal access.


I. What Happened

On 23 June 2025 at precisely 1:37 PM, four American children were extracted from their London home in a coordinated operation involving police and local authority staff. No court order was presented. No paperwork was handed over. The mother—a disabled U.S. citizen—was entirely excluded, both medically and procedurally.

The next morning, this Emergency Application was filed with the Family Court. It seeks immediate judicial intervention to restore either contact or care, pending proper adjudication of the underlying order.

The children remain isolated. The mother remains silenced. The authorities remain undisturbed.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That the removal occurred without procedural fairness, lawful notice, or basic parental inclusion.

  • That the mother’s documented disabilities (eosinophilic asthma and muscle dysphonia) were used as a functional barrier to justice.

  • That no contact has occurred since removal, constituting a direct and ongoing breach of Section 34 of the Children Act.

  • That the legitimacy of the care order is contested, and the total denial of contact operates as a retaliatory sanction, not a child-centred policy.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because no one should have to file an emergency application simply to ask where their children are.

Because procedural omissions are not minor when they result in the state severing all ties between a mother and her children.
Because courts that issue orders without parties present, and then deny all contact, are not delivering justice—they are curating disappearance.

And because if the law cannot remember your name, SWANK will.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, Section 34(2) – Contact rights in care proceedings

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Article 6 – Fair hearing; Article 8 – Family life

  • Equality Act 2010, Sections 20 and 29 – Reasonable adjustments and access to participation

  • Family Procedure Rules, Parts 12 and 18 – Requirements for urgent hearings

  • UN Convention on the Rights of the Child – Articles 9 and 12


V. SWANK’s Position

This emergency filing represents a categorical failure of both procedural due process and ethical governance. Children have been removed without legal access. Their mother has been denied contact, updates, and inclusion. The burden now falls on her—not to prove innocence—but to beg for access to her own American-born children.

Let the record show: This is not a petition. It is an indictment.

Chromatic v Westminster: In Re The Trauma of a Supervised Call



"Visible Distress. Audible Silence."

On the Documented Emotional Trauma of Four U.S. Citizen Children in British Custody


Filed Date: 2 July 2025

Reference Code: SWANK/USC/0702-EMOTIONAL-DISTRESS
Court Filename: 2025-07-02_Urgent_Filing_Emotional_Distress_US_Citizen_Children
One-line Summary: Official notice to the U.S. Embassy documenting visible emotional trauma of American minors following state removal.


I. What Happened

On 2 July 2025, nine days after the forcible removal of four U.S. citizen children by Westminster Children’s Services, their mother, Polly Chromatic, was granted a short supervised video call. It was the first time she had seen or heard from them since the 23 June ambush.

During the call, all four children appeared visibly distressed. The youngest—her daughter, Heir—exhibited signs of acute trauma: disorientation, shutdown behaviour, and a degree of emotional instability that would alarm any rational observer. Their asthma management had been disrupted. Contact had been withheld. Their belongings, including medical devices and communication tools, remained confiscated.

This letter was sent to the U.S. Embassy and Passport Services in London, formally documenting the emotional deterioration of American minors in a foreign safeguarding system.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That the children were subjected to nearly ten days of isolation, without lawful justification or emergency threshold.

  • That medical neglect is now accompanied by emotional breakdown, observable and recordable via contact sessions.

  • That the youngest child’s psychological response to institutional separation may already constitute lasting trauma.

  • That consular rights, family continuity, and medical oversight have been flagrantly disregarded.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the children’s suffering is not speculative. It is documented. Visible. And officially filed.

Because the local authority has chosen silence over safeguarding, and seizure over support.

Because when the mother of four U.S. citizens must write to the American Embassy to report visible trauma and emotional collapse, we are not in the realm of “protection”—we are in the realm of state-sponsored cruelty.

And because trauma withheld from public record becomes trauma allowed.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – Duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of the child

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – Right to family life

  • UN Convention on the Rights of the Child – Articles 3, 9, 24

  • Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, Article 37 – Duty to inform consular officials

  • Equality Act 2010 – Indirect discrimination via safeguarding disruption


V. SWANK’s Position

This is not safeguarding. This is diplomatic negligence masquerading as family law.

The distress is no longer theoretical. It is in the eyes of the children, recorded on state-supervised footage. It is in their silence. It is in their mother’s voice, still denied lawful contact, meaningful disclosure, or medical coordination.

SWANK London Ltd. does not accept the procedural normalisation of visible harm. We file it. We publish it. And we call it what it is:

Abuse. With paperwork.

Re Chromatic v The Institution – On the Weaponisation of the Emergency Protection Order

The Protection Order as Punishment: A Velvet Submission on Institutional Misuse

When a Civil Claimant Becomes a Safeguarding Target


Metadata

  • Filed: 11 July 2025

  • Reference Code: SWANK-FAMCOURT-0711

  • Document Title: 2025-07-11_SWANK_HearingStatement_EPO_RetaliationChallenge

  • Summary: SWANK founder Polly Chromatic appears before the Central Family Court to challenge an Emergency Protection Order (EPO) issued in apparent retaliation for legal filings against Westminster and RBKC Children’s Services.


I. What Happened

On 23 June 2025, all four of my children — dual U.S. citizens — were removed from our home under an Emergency Protection Order.

There was no medical event.
No safeguarding incident.
No allegation raised.

There was only one trigger: I had sued the state.

This is not a hearing about welfare.
It is a hearing about what happens when a litigant files too well, too publicly, and too precisely.


II. Why This Was Logged

This hearing statement, now published, is part of SWANK London Ltd.’s official evidentiary archive. It establishes:

  • That Guy’s and St Thomas’ falsely reported intoxication while my oxygen was at 44%

  • That Westminster ignored clinical disabilities and refused all written communication

  • That I filed:

    • An N1 civil claim (March & May 2025)

    • A cease and desist and audit demand (mid-June 2025)

    • A criminal referral (21 June 2025)

  • And that my children were taken two days later

The timeline alone reads like an indictment.


III. What the Statement Proves

That safeguarding was not applied — it was deployed.
Not to protect, but to punish.
Not to assess risk — but to neutralise a plaintiff.

The EPO did not follow a concern. It followed:

  • A police report against a social worker

  • A blog post

  • A legal filing

  • A criminal referral

And it was served not by notice — but by a man who stalked my building, shoved documents through my door, and refused to speak to reception.


IV. What the Statement Demands

Filed before the court and now published before the world, the statement requests:

  • Immediate return of all four children

  • Removal of Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown from all further involvement

  • Suspension of Westminster and RBKC from safeguarding authority

  • Disclosure of all documentation

  • Acknowledgement that this was not protection — it was retaliation


V. SWANK’s Position

This was never about protection.
It was about power.

And it is now part of the record — not just in court, but here, where you are reading it.

Because this archive does what no courtroom will admit:

It names what they redact.
It publishes what they hide.
It documents what they deny.

The hearing is underway.
The evidence is public.
And the velvet archive never blinks.

In Re: The Emergency Filing That Was Answered With a Link to a Toilet Assistance Form Or, How RBKC Perfected the Art of Outsourcing Human Dignity to Google Forms



⟡ The Borough That Answered Emergency Claims With a Referral Link for Showering Support ⟡

Or, When RBKC Suggested That Emotional Deprivation Could Be Solved by Shopping Help


Metadata

Filed: 4 July 2025
Reference Code: SWANK/RBKC/AUTO/SILENCE
Filed by: Polly Chromatic 
Filed from: W2 6JL
Court File Name:
2025-07-04_ZC25C50281_Automatic_Reply_RBKC_Safeguarding_Matters.pdf


I. What Happened

On 4 July 2025, the Claimant submitted a formal safeguarding update to RBKC regarding:

  • The unlawful seizure of her four U.S. citizen children

  • The absence of lawful threshold

  • Ongoing legal claims involving Westminster and RBKC

  • Institutional racism, medical neglect, and forced separation

The reply?

“Thank you for your email. Please use our new online referral form if you would like advice on washing, dressing, or going to the toilet.”


II. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when you file a legal notice about racial discrimination, safeguarding misuse, and international legal violations — and the reply suggests help with cleaning and shopping,
what you have received is not assistance, but theatrical redirection.

Because this was a safeguarding complaint, not a domestic mobility issue.

Because the inbox for child protection is now apparently rerouted to the same form used for “looking after yourself.”

Because no human name, no acknowledgment of the case, no reference to the children or legal filings appeared —
only a message about business hours and bathing.


III. SWANK’s Position

SWANK London Ltd. hereby classifies this email as:

  • Disrespectful

  • Administratively evasive

  • And emblematic of the bureaucratic reduction of crisis into a tickbox menu

This was not a response. It was a safeguarding eclipse.

We log it not as communication, but as a semi-automated barrier designed to reclassify emergency as inconvenience.

I Didn’t Escalate. I Filed.



⟡ “She Called It Safeguarding. I Called Social Work England.” ⟡
A formal complaint submitted to Social Work England by Polly Chromatic, citing Westminster social worker Kirsty Hornal for professional misconduct, disability discrimination, and safeguarding harm. The complaint includes clinical documentation, statutory references, and an offer of Google Drive evidence. No emotion. Just evidence. No shouting. Just removal proceedings.

Filed: April 2024
Reference: SWANK/SWE/REG-01
📎 Download PDF – 2024-04-24_SWANK_Complaint_SWE_KirstyHornal_DisabilityDiscrimination_MisconductSafeguarding.pdf
Complaint submitted to Social Work England detailing violations of the Equality Act 2010, SWE Code of Ethics, and Children Act 1989. Names Kirsty Hornal as the central actor in a pattern of procedural discrimination, medical harm, and educational interference. Offers full supporting evidence. Filed professionally. Read like a tribunal.


I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic submitted a formal referral to Social Work England. It included:

  • A clear clinical record:
    • Eosinophilic asthma
    • Muscle dysphonia
    • Psychiatric trauma from institutional harassment

  • A legal and ethical breakdown of what was violated:
    • SWE Standards 3.1, 3.4, 5.1, 6.2, and 6.4
    • Equality Act 2010, Sections 20, 26, and 27
    • Safeguarding interference with educational access

  • Factual examples:
    • Medical notes from Dr Rafiq and Dr Jose
    • Alleged misrepresentations to court about schooling
    • Misuse of CP procedures while ignoring parental boundaries

  • A statement of calm:

    “I would like to refer her for misconduct and institutional discrimination.”

No pleading.
No outrage.
Just the full record.
Ready for revocation.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That disability and medical history were disclosed in writing

  • That the social worker proceeded in ways that escalated risk rather than reduced it

  • That no meaningful accommodations were made despite notice

  • That child harm occurred as a result of safeguarding intrusion

  • That a national regulator was formally activated with full evidence access

This isn’t a dispute.
It’s a professional indictment.


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because silence isn’t compliance. Because safeguards are not safe when they’re used to escalate trauma. And because a regulator can only pretend not to see if no one sends the document. This one? They received it. With sources.

SWANK archived this because:

  • It’s your first formal regulatory body complaint against a named individual

  • It confirms that legal and medical documentation were merged

  • It shows you took the correct steps while the professionals took none

  • It becomes the reference point for every escalation from here


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 –
    • Section 20: Adjustment refusal
    • Section 26: Procedural harassment
    • Section 27: Retaliation for disability boundaries

  • Social Work England Code –
    • 3.1: Professional judgement compromised
    • 3.4: Poor communication / procedural opacity
    • 5.1: Breach of equality and inclusion
    • 6.2: Failure to maintain trust
    • 6.4: Harm to child and parent

  • Children Act 1989 –
    • Section 17 & 47: Use of interventions that destabilised family support


V. SWANK’s Position

You don’t get to call it care when it causes collapse. You don’t get to say you didn’t know when the doctor was copied in. And you don’t get to hide behind a lanyard when the regulator already has your name in a PDF.

SWANK London Ltd. classifies this document as a regulatory submission for professional misconduct, grounded in statute and supported by archive.
