“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

Reference Code: SWANK-JOURNAL-0825
Filename: 2025-08-01_SWANK_JournalEntry_BikeBan_AsthmaNeglect.pdf
1-Line Summary:
A child’s handwritten page mourns the loss of freedom, exercise, expression, and breath.

I. WHAT HAPPENED

This journal page — written by a 16-year-old U.S. citizen under UK state care — testifies to a quiet but catastrophic truth: his freedom to move, write, and breathe has been suspended, not for safety, but for punishment.

He writes not from rebellion, but from logic.
Not to dramatise — but to survive.

His entries reveal that:

  • He was banned from riding bikes following one “mistake”

  • He has not been allowed to engage in cardio — despite its role in managing his eosinophilic asthma

  • He has been without phone or internet contact for an extended, unspecified period

  • He is granted approximately “30 minutes of TV once every blue moon”

  • He feels trapped, reflective, and systemically silenced

This is not an emotional outburst.
It is a respiratory affidavit written in ink.

II. WHAT THE COMPLAINT ESTABLISHES

This page reveals:

  • Arbitrary Control – “Why can she say I can’t ride bikes anymore?”

  • Power Imbalance – “Why does she have the power to make me not do something I enjoy?”

  • Asthma Neglect – “I liked getting my cardio in to help my asthma get better.”

  • Punitive Logic – “Since I make one mistake I can’t ride anymore?”

  • Technological Censorship – “How long it’s gone without a phone or even any internet…”

  • Surveillance Normalisation – “30 min once every blue moon” — a ration, not a right

It reads like adolescent poetry. But this is not metaphor.
This is the literal architecture of psychological suffocation.

III. WHY SWANK LOGGED IT

Because courts need more than filtered reports.
Because social workers cannot be the only authors of truth.
Because asthma doesn’t pause for bureaucracy.
Because no policy justifies telling a boy he cannot ride a bike, use a pencil, or breathe freely.

This is not just evidence.
This is jurisprudential testimony in cursive form.

He wrote it because no one was listening.
We publish it because someone must.

IV. VIOLATIONS

  • Children Act 1989, s.1(3) – Ignoring the child’s wishes and feelings

  • ECHR Article 8 – Infringement on private life and dignity

  • UNCRC Articles 12 & 13 – Suppression of expression, voice, and thought

  • Equality Act 2010, s.20 – Failure to make adjustments for chronic asthma

  • Safeguarding Duty – Medical neglect by restricting exercise and hydration

  • Disability Rights Law – Indirect discrimination through punitive routine

V. SWANK’S POSITION

This journal entry has been formally logged, archived, and published in velvet contempt of the institutions responsible for the child’s emotional, physical, and respiratory deterioration.

He should not be punished for having feelings.
He should not be silenced for needing cardio.
He should not be documenting abuse while others document compliance.

He wrote this entry alone. But he is not alone.
His handwriting is now jurisprudence.
His breath will not be controlled — only counted.

Filed in solemn objection, procedural defiance, and archival rage,

THE NOTEBOOK OF NO CONTACT

A Supplementary Prosecution Entry in Re: A child's Journal and the Criminality of Containment

Metadata

Filed: 1 August 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-LOI-KH-JOURNAL-0825
Filename: 2025-08-01_CriminalSupplement_KirstyHornal_JournalEvidence.pdf
1-Line Summary: A child's handwritten journal is submitted as primary child voice evidence in the private criminal prosecution of Kirsty Hornal.

I. WHAT HAPPENED

Polly Chromatic has now submitted a Supplementary Evidentiary Filing to Westminster Magistrates’ Court in the ongoing private criminal prosecution of Ms. Kirsty Hornal, social worker, Westminster Children’s Services.

The new filing includes:

  • Photographed pages from a child’s handwritten journal, documenting distress, asthma deterioration, and the emotional impact of arbitrary restrictions.

  • Legal arguments situating the journal as primary evidence of psychological harm, excessive control, and retaliatory containment under Kirsty Hornal’s supervision.

The child is a 16-year-old U.S. citizen.
He is not a suspect. He is not on trial.
He is simply trying to breathe — and write.

II. WHAT THE COMPLAINT ESTABLISHES

The complaint against Ms. Hornal is no longer rooted in procedural misconduct alone. It now includes:

  • Psychological abuse by authority

  • Medical neglect through restriction of activity

  • Suppression of communication and expression

  • Unlawful interference with family life and autonomy

His journal is not poetic. It is precise.

He writes:
"I can’t ride bikes anymore because of one mistake."
That sentence alone indicts the safeguarding fiction.

III. WHY SWANK LOGGED IT

Because a child's asthma should not worsen in state care.
Because withholding pencils is not therapeutic.
Because mocking accents is not professional conduct.
Because emotional surveillance is not safeguarding.

And because the only thing more dangerous than a silent child is one who writes — and whose parent reads.

IV. CRIMES AND GROUNDS ESTABLISHED

Criminal Grounds under Magistrates’ Court Act 1980 & Children Act 1989:

  • Emotional cruelty under the guise of supervision

  • Negligent restriction of medical routines (asthma care)

  • Wilful interference with parental rights and contact

  • Abusive use of authority over a minor

  • Retaliatory containment of expression

Supporting Doctrines:

  • Article 8 ECHR – Family Life

  • Article 3 UNCRC – Best Interests of the Child

  • Equality Act 2010 – Disability Discrimination

  • Safeguarding Breach – Abuse of Position and Oversight

This is no longer a complaint. It is a ledger of criminality — handwritten by the child who endured it.

V. SWANK’S POSITION

The journal pages have been submitted to:

  • Westminster Magistrates’ Court

  • The Family Court (ZC25C50281)

  • Social Work England

  • Relevant safeguarding and human rights monitors

The LOI now includes:
First-person, contemporaneous child testimony.

This is not a parental grievance.
This is a prosecution.

A Child’s Affidavit of Captivity: In Re the Legalisation of Loss


🪞 SWANK London Ltd.

CHRONICLE OF A STOLEN SUMMER

“I Can’t Ride Bikes Anymore Because of One Mistake”
Journal Pages from a Captive Childhood

Metadata

Filed: 1 August 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-JOURNAL-0825
Filename: 2025-08-01_SWANK_JournalEntry_UnauthorisedRestrictions.pdf
1-Line Summary: A child writes about life under surveillance, emotional suppression, and the loss of joy and autonomy.

I. WHAT HAPPENED

One of Polly Chromatic’s four U.S. citizen children — a teenager with eosinophilic asthma — has been keeping a handwritten journal while living under state-imposed separation from their family.

These entries were written in pen, not for court, but in protest. They emerged not from counsel, but from the child’s own private resistance to a system that silenced their voice, banned their movement, and confiscated their expression.

The journal describes:

  • The prohibition of ordinary activities (bike riding, pencils, trampoline use)

  • A single social worker wielding unrestricted power

  • The erasure of communication tools

  • Asthma deterioration due to loss of physical activity

  • Mockery and restriction by carers

  • Acts of emotional survival: favourite animals, colours, food, fictional powers

This is not a therapeutic log.
It is a hostage ledger.

II. WHAT THE COMPLAINT ESTABLISHES

These journal entries are not supplementary. They are primary evidence.

They demonstrate that a child in state care is:

  • Internalising institutional punishment

  • Attempting to rationalise arbitrary control

  • Recording the breakdown of trust, privacy, and autonomy

  • Documenting the loss of identity, movement, and expression

The writing is specific, coherent, and heartbreakingly clear.
It names the person who has power.
It names the freedoms revoked.
It names the sickness growing from silence.

This is not a failure of parenting.
It is a failure of state guardianship.

III. WHY SWANK LOGGED IT

Because no child should be told they can’t use a pencil upstairs.
Because “you’re from America” should not be a punchline.
Because breathing and biking are medical needs — not luxuries.
Because when courts don’t hear children, journals do.

And because when the system denies a phone, a notebook becomes litigation.

IV. VIOLATIONS

  • Article 12 & 13, UNCRC – Right to be heard; freedom of expression

  • Children Act 1989, s.1(3)(a) – Wishes and feelings of the child

  • Children and Families Act 2014, s.19 – Duty to promote well-being

  • ECHR Article 8 – Right to private and family life

  • Equality Act 2010, s.20 – Reasonable adjustments for disability

These entries indicate both medical negligence and psychosocial suppression — by omission, by regulation, by silence.

V. SWANK’S POSITION

These journal pages remain in the archive as evidence — not only of harm, but of resistance.

We do not redact truth for the comfort of the system.
We do not treat children's reflections as disposable.
We do not mistake bureaucracy for legitimacy.

The child wrote because no one would listen.
We publish because the court must.

This is not just a journal.
It is an affidavit of distress.

VI. CRIMES AND LEGAL BREACHES

The conditions described in this child’s journal are not only ethically indefensible — they may rise to the level of criminality. When state agents restrict a child’s liberty, suppress their communication, and jeopardize their health without lawful justification or procedural transparency, they cross the threshold from negligence to unlawful interference.

The following criminal and quasi-criminal offences are either established or strongly indicated:

  • Misconduct in Public Office – Through persistent abuse of authority by state social workers and carers in a public capacity.

  • Child Cruelty (Children and Young Persons Act 1933, s.1) – For inflicting unnecessary suffering through emotional coercion, denial of movement, and ridicule.

  • Neglect under the Children Act 1989 – Especially regarding the child’s documented health needs and psychosocial development.

  • Harassment (Protection from Harassment Act 1997) – If conduct by carers or supervising agents is shown to be repeated, unwanted, and distressing.

  • Failure to Make Reasonable Adjustments (Equality Act 2010, s.20) – Where asthma-specific needs and disability-related routines (e.g., exercise) are denied or obstructed.

  • Obstruction of Contact (Children Act 1989, Schedule 1, s.11) – Through systematic restrictions on communication and digital access with the child’s family.

  • Unlawful Interference with Family Life (Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8) – A pattern of state conduct that collectively amounts to a breach of protected rights.

These violations are not isolated. They are coordinated through procedural passivity, narrative control, and denial of legal visibility. The journal entries themselves serve as sworn testimony in miniature — child-originated exhibits of harm, coercion, and disintegration of lawful care.

If committed by a parent, these acts would prompt child protection investigations.
That they are being committed by the state — and justified as policy — constitutes not just failure, but inversion.

This is not safeguarding.
It is containment.

Chromatic v. Institutional Absenteeism: A Doctrine on the Fiction of Safeguarding Consultation


🪞 SWANK London Ltd.

The Phantom of Procedural Consultation
A Doctrine on the Myth of Participation in Child Protection Reviews

Filed:
1 August 2025

Reference Code:
SWANK-ADDENDUM-0804-IRO-FAILURE

Filename:
2025-08-01_Addendum_IROCommunicationFailure_KirstyHornal_MichaelAdesanya.pdf

1-Line Summary:
Westminster claimed to appoint an Independent Reviewing Officer — who never made contact. The illusion of due process is not due process.

I. WHAT HAPPENED

On 23 July 2025, Westminster Children’s Services emailed Polly Chromatic to confirm that Michael Adesanya had been assigned as the Independent Reviewing Officer (IRO) for her children.

No introduction followed.
No contact. No invitation. No procedural explanation.

Eleven days later, the IRO remains a phantom figure — invoked for regulatory legitimacy, but absent in action.

II. WHAT THIS ESTABLISHES

This is not an accidental oversight. It is bureaucratic dramaturgy — wherein roles are announced but not inhabited.

It proves:

  • That procedural roles can be named without being fulfilled

  • That care reviews may be recorded without being shared

  • That parental participation is performative, not participatory

The IRO is a legal safeguard — but when reduced to a silent name in a paragraph, it becomes institutional furniture, not oversight.

III. WHY SWANK LOGGED IT

Because the Local Authority is performing compliance rather than enacting it.

When the system proclaims that “the IRO will contact you shortly” — and no contact ever comes — the lie is not only interpersonal. It is regulatory.

This doctrine is a notice of procedural theatre.
The script has been recited. But the actors never appeared.

IV. VIOLATIONS ESTABLISHED

  • Children Act 1989 – Failure to facilitate parental engagement in statutory review

  • Care Planning, Placement and Case Review (England) Regulations 2010 – Breach of IRO duties

  • Article 6 ECHR – Procedural fairness denied through silence

  • Article 8 ECHR – Family voice excluded from care planning

  • Institutional integrity breach – Fictional compliance recorded in place of actual contact

V. SWANK’S POSITION

The IRO is not ornamental.

His absence is not symbolic — it is procedural sabotage, and it will be treated as such.

SWANK London Ltd. hereby asserts:

  • That naming a safeguard without activating it is institutional deceit

  • That non-contact is not neutrality — it is an act of procedural exclusion

  • That politeness without participation is a cover for structural violence

Polly Chromatic demands immediate contact from the IRO and a full record of the care planning timeline to date.

She did not miss the IRO’s email.

There was no email.

Chromatic v. The Absent Referral: A Doctrine on Tactical Non-Correspondence in Family Proceedings


🪞 SWANK London Ltd.
A Velvet Doctrine on Tactical Miscommunication and False Narratives of Non-Engagement

📜

The Doctrine of Non-Contact Allegations
On the Bureaucratic Weaponisation of Silence Against Litigants in Person

Filed: 1 August 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-ADDENDUM-0801-ASSESSMENTCORRESPONDENCE
Filename: 2025-08-01_Addendum_AssessmentCorrespondenceFailure_ProceduralObstruction.pdf
1-Line Summary:
The local authority withheld assessment information and then accused the parent of failing to engage — a classic entrapment by procedural omission.

I. WHAT HAPPENED

By 1 August 2025, Polly Chromatic had received direct contact from only one assessment professional — a psychologist, with whom she spoke on 31 July.

From the others — including those responsible for:

  • Psychiatric evaluation

  • Paediatric review

  • Hair strand testing

  • Parenting capacity assessment

— she received nothing.
No letter. No call. No date. No role. No procedural confirmation.

And yet, the Local Authority continues to construct the fiction that she is “refusing” assessments.

II. WHAT THIS ESTABLISHES

This is not a misunderstanding.
It is a deliberate procedural gap used to invent parental failure.

The absence of contact reveals:

  • A failure to initiate legally required engagement

  • A breach of duty to inform a litigant in person

  • A misuse of silence as a tool of discrediting

They created a void — and then punished her for not filling it.

This is administrative entrapment under the guise of assessment.

III. WHY SWANK LOGGED IT

Because this is no longer about missed emails or calendar confusion.
It is a pattern of procedural gaslighting.

You cannot accuse a parent of non-engagement when:

  • The event was never scheduled

  • The actor was never introduced

  • The procedure was never explained

This is the institutional equivalent of sending no invitation and then declaring the guest rude for not attending.

And it fits a broader pattern in the case:
→ Mischaracterisation of lawful behaviour
→ Blame redirected from systemic failure to the mother’s file
→ Confusion staged as non-compliance

IV. SWANK’S POSITION

We assert that:

  • The mother has expressed consistent willingness to engage

  • The absence of contact lies solely with the LA and its agents

  • No negative inference can be drawn where no procedural invitation was issued

  • The narrative of “refusal” is contradicted by their own failure to initiate

We request that the Court:

  • Note the singular point of contact received thus far

  • Require the LA to issue full, written, and trackable contact details for all remaining assessments

  • Prohibit further misrepresentations of non-engagement based on institutional silence

You cannot comply with instructions that were never given.
And you cannot be blamed for silence that wasn’t yours.
