“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

Chromatic v Westminster: On the Accusation of Mothers by the Professionally Insecure



🪞SWANK LOG ENTRY

The Audacity of Accusation

Or, How Social Workers Diagnosed a Woman They’ve Never Understood


Filed: 19 November 2024
Reference Code: SWK-WCC-MISREPRESENTATION-2024-11
PDF Filename: 2024-11-19_SWANK_Letter_Westminster_AccusationAndProjection.pdf
One-Line Summary: A mother writes back to a decade of institutional harassment, correcting Westminster’s fixation on accusation with a masterclass in clarity.


I. What Happened

On 19 November 2024, Polly Chromatic (then corresponding under her legal name) sent a direct email to Westminster Children’s Services, addressing years of harassment, gaslighting, and bad-faith accusations levelled against her and her children.

The email dismantled — in unfiltered prose — the professional projections of a system that has never had the medical literacy, emotional maturity, or factual grounding to understand asthma, disability, or love.

Her words were clear: “I have no anxiety unless ignorant humans won’t leave me alone.”


II. What the Complaint Establishes

This correspondence predates the children’s removal by seven months. It already demonstrates:

  • A decade-long pattern of inappropriate social worker involvement;

  • Repeated procedural intrusions based on misinformed speculation;

  • Failure to engage with documented disability;

  • And an institutional allergy to accountability so profound that it mistakes a mother’s protective instincts for pathology.

Her rejection of their presence is not avoidance — it is resistance to invasive, hostile, and functionally incompetent intervention.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because history deserves a record of the moment a mother refused to grovel before a false narrative. Because too many case files omit the rage of the accused when the accuser lacks a case. Because SWANK does not believe that silence is grace — especially not when the state has a megaphone.

This email, with its unpolished brilliance and moral velocity, reads like a final warning. One Westminster chose to ignore.


IV. Violations

  • Article 8 ECHR – Repeated interference in family life without cause

  • Equality Act 2010 – Failure to accommodate communication disability

  • Safeguarding Misuse – Escalation of false concerns despite absence of harm

  • Procedural Dishonesty – A refusal to self-audit even after a decade of failure

  • Parental Harassment – Continuous psychological burden on a protective parent


V. SWANK’s Position

This email should have prompted internal reflection at Westminster. Instead, it was met with silence, then escalation. The pattern is predictable: when institutions cannot regulate a mother, they regulate the narrative. They file concern forms instead of reading the room.

But Polly Chromatic read the room. And then she sent the room an email.

We consider this message a foundational artefact of state-induced trauma and a preamble to justified rebellion.

Chromatic v The Pedal Embargo: On Institutional Punitiveness and the Withholding of Joy as Bureaucratic Strategy



🪞SWANK LOG ENTRY

The Bicycle Addendum

Or, How Four Children Were Deprived of Joy While the Local Authority Held the Chains to Their Handlebars


Filed: 6 August 2025
Reference Code: SWK-BICYCLES-DIGNITY-2025-08
PDF Filename: 2025-08-05_Addendum_BicycleAccess_WelfareDeviation.pdf
One-Line Summary: Polly Chromatic challenges the Local Authority’s absurd failure to provide bicycles — and demands either wheels or reunification.


I. What Happened

In a perfectly preventable display of bureaucratic absurdity, all four of Polly Chromatic’s children — removed from their home under the guise of safeguarding — have now been denied even the most basic of childhood freedoms: the ability to ride a bike.

Yes, bicycles. Two wheels, fresh air, harmless joy.
Not cars. Not knives. Not contraband. Bicycles.

Each child has asked — more than once — to cycle again.
And each time, they are met not with accommodation, but with silence.

This is not oversight.
It is a petty assertion of control.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That the Local Authority has stripped the children of developmental normalcy

  • That they have made no attempt to replicate the basic recreational activities present in the family home

  • That children who previously cycled freely are now denied a simple, self-affirming act of movement

  • That this is not about safety — but about punishment by omission

In Polly’s words:

“In my home, my children do not wait months for what they need or want. They get it immediately — because they are loved.”

To deny bikes is to deny agency, pleasure, and muscle memory.
And Westminster calls it care.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because recreational freedom is not a luxury — it is a right.

Because bicycle access is not about toys — it is about dignity.

Because when the state removes children, it is required by law to replicate — not downgrade — their standard of living.

Because this is not just about bicycles. It’s about who gets to decide what joy looks like.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – Section 22(3)(a) – Duty to promote and safeguard each child’s welfare

  • UN Convention on the Rights of the Child – Article 31 – Right to play, leisure, and recreation

  • Article 8 ECHR – Interference with normal family life and routines

  • Equality and Non-Discrimination Principles – Punitive withholding based on disability and lawful refusal to engage verbally


V. SWANK’s Position

We consider this addendum the handlebars of the entire case — a seemingly small point that reveals everything:

When a Local Authority cannot even provide a child with a bike —
but can remove them with police,
place them in a more dangerous area,
ignore their journaled disclosures,
and silence their mother —
then safeguarding is no longer the word for what they are doing.

It is deprivation by decree.
It is cruelty disguised as policy.
And it is not lawful.

If Westminster will not accommodate the simple freedom of four children on bikes,
then it is time to return them to the person who always has.

Chromatic v. Shopna [2025] – On the Illegality of “You Can’t Eat Because You’re 10”



🪞SWANK Evidentiary Catalogue

Filed 5 August 2025

Reference: 2025-08-07_SWANK_Letter_WestminsterFosterer_ShopnaSafeguardingProsecution.pdf
PDF Title: Shopna LOI Official.pdf
1-Line Summary:
A foster carer assigned by Westminster allegedly told a child with asthma he “couldn’t eat because he’s 10.” We responded with a criminal summons.


I. What Happened

Between June and August 2025, a foster carer known only as Shopna, working under contract with Westminster Children’s Services, allegedly subjected multiple American-born children to degrading restrictions, verbal abuse, and disability-based neglect.

Reported violations include:
– Denying a 10-year-old asthmatic child food “because he’s 10”
– Prohibiting children from taking water bottles or drawing materials upstairs
– Mocking U.S. nationality: “You’re from America” (said with derision)
– Emotional suppression through device bans, surveillance, and infantilisation

These abuses were documented in a handwritten journal by Romeo Bonneannee, age 16, and reported to the Metropolitan Police on 2 August 2025 (Ref: TAA-38017-25-0101-IR). The children’s mother, Polly Chromatic, submitted this evidence alongside a formal Laying of Information for a criminal summons.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

This is not simply poor parenting. This is state-sponsored neglect carried out by a foster carer funded by the Local Authority. The formal LOI submitted to Westminster Magistrates’ Court includes the following charges:

  1. Child Cruelty – s.1 Children and Young Persons Act 1933

  2. Disability Neglect – s.15 Equality Act 2010

  3. Neglect of Medically Vulnerable Child

  4. Harassment and Coercive Control – s.76 Serious Crime Act 2015

  5. Suppression of Safeguarding Disclosures – Articles 8 & 12 ECHR

  6. Racially Aggravated Harassment – s.31 Crime and Disorder Act 1998

This isn’t a hypothetical claim. It’s backed by:
– Police filings
– Journal evidence
– Medical documents confirming eosinophilic asthma in all four children
– Reports submitted to the Central Family CourtU.S. EmbassySocial Work England, and international human rights monitors


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because we do not “manage behaviour” by depriving chronically ill children of water and food.
Because “you’re from America” is not an excuse to humiliate or marginalise a child.
Because cruelty disguised as routine must be confronted with law, not leniency.

And because no matter how obscure your surname, if you harm children under Westminster’s protection, we will find your name in court.


IV. Violations

Domestic Law Breaches:
– Children and Young Persons Act 1933
– Equality Act 2010
– Serious Crime Act 2015
– Crime and Disorder Act 1998
– Children Act 1989

Human Rights:
– ECHR Article 3 (Freedom from degrading treatment)
– ECHR Article 8 (Family life and dignity)
– UNCRC Article 12 (Right to be heard)

Safeguarding Framework Violations:
– Foster Placement Oversight
– Disability Accommodations
– Communication Rights


V. SWANK’s Position

We filed this LOI on 7 August 2025 in the Westminster Magistrates’ Court and simultaneously added it to Case No: ZC25C50281 at the Central Family Court.

We will not accept private apologies.
We do not seek corrective training.
We seek criminal prosecution.

Because if a 10-year-old with asthma is told he can’t eat, we will file until justice does.

Chromatic v. Del [2025] – On the Inadmissibility of Starvation as Parenting



🪞SWANK Evidentiary Catalogue

Filed 5 August 2025

Reference: 2025-08-07_SWANK_Letter_WestminsterFosterer_DelNeglectSafeguarding.pdf
PDF Title: Del LOI Official.pdf
1-Line Summary:
A state-paid foster carer reportedly told a 10-year-old child he “can’t eat because he’s 10.” We filed a criminal prosecution.


I. What Happened

Between 23 June and 2 August 2025, a foster carer known only as Del—contracted by Westminster Children’s Services—subjected King Bonneannee (age 10) to a regime of punitive, degrading, and medically negligent restrictions. He was reportedly told he “couldn’t eat because he’s 10,” denied access to water bottles and drawing materials, and humiliated with culturally mocking statements referencing his American identity. These reports emerged in Romeo Bonneannee’s handwritten journal, dated 1 August, and were corroborated by police report TAA-38016-25-0101-IR.

All four children—King, Prince, Romeo, and Honor—were witnesses to this treatment. King, diagnosed with eosinophilic asthma, required consistent hydration, calm routine, and emotional support. Instead, he received deprivation and coercive control under the Local Authority’s supposedly protective arm.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

This is not a "disruption of placement" — it is a criminal prosecution. We have filed an LOI with Westminster Magistrates’ Court alleging:

  • Child Cruelty (s.1 Children and Young Persons Act 1933)

  • Disability Discrimination (s.15 Equality Act 2010)

  • Neglect of Medically Vulnerable Child

  • Harassment and Coercive Control (s.76 Serious Crime Act 2015)

  • Institutional and Cultural Discrimination

  • Suppression of Welfare Disclosures

The filing was supported by:

  • Romeo’s journal

  • Medical documents

  • Police filings

  • Ongoing family court records


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because we do not tolerate hunger-based discipline as a governance model.
Because we do not accept asthma negligence as "behaviour management."
Because no foster carer under state contract should deprive children of food, hydration, or dignity without criminal accountability.
And because nobody—not even someone with an address in Dagenham and a social work referral from Westminster—gets to emotionally harm our children without notice.


IV. Violations

Human Rights:

  • Article 3 (Freedom from inhuman or degrading treatment)

  • Article 8 (Respect for private and family life)

Statutory Law:

  • Children and Young Persons Act 1933

  • Equality Act 2010

  • Children Act 1989 (welfare duties)

  • Serious Crime Act 2015

Procedural Doctrine Breaches:

  • Foster placement approval standards

  • Medical accommodations for known conditions

  • Safe disclosure protocol


V. SWANK’s Position

We filed this LOI on 7 August 2025 with Westminster Magistrates’ Court and simultaneously submitted it to the Central Family Court as part of ongoing litigation in Case No: ZC25C50281. There will be no informal correction. There will be no private warnings. There will be no delay. Del will answer in court.

As always, the Archive remains active.
The Court of Mirror holds its glare.
Let no one think they escape observation.

In the Matter of Silence v. Truth: Prerogative and the Boxing Club



What Happened at the Boxing Club?

On Interfering With a Child’s Cry for Help While Pretending to Care


Filed: 5 August 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-PREROGATIVE-BOXING-DISCLOSURE
PDF Filename: 2025-08-05_SWANK_Post_Prerogative_DisclosureObstruction_BoxingClub.pdf
Summary: Prerogative tried to speak. Surveillance spoke louder. A kingdom failed again.


I. A Boy Walks Into a Boxing Club

And walks out more afraid than when he entered.
He tries to tell his mother what happened.
But he’s not allowed.
Because she might listen.
Because she might believe him.
Because she might act.

Welcome to child protection, UK-style —
Where truth must pass through 17 layers of permission
Before it’s considered “appropriate for discussion.”


II. Surveillance Isn’t Safeguarding

Prerogative was crying.
Not because he didn’t want to speak —
But because the walls were listening.
And when you raise a boy in surveillance,
You don’t teach him safety.
You teach him suppression.

Your “contact” is now a pantomime.
Your “protection” is performance.
And your refusal to let children speak freely is the clearest form of harm.


III. If There Was Nothing to Hide…

Why can’t he talk?
Why does he check who’s watching?
Why does he look over his shoulder before naming the boxing club?

Why is he only free when he’s silent?


IV. This Is the Sound of a System That Should Be Ashamed

When Regal used his words,
you punished him with restriction.
When Prerogative tried,
you stared him down with supervision.

And now I ask, publicly, plainly, permanently:

What happened to Prerogative at the boxing club?
And who benefits from him not being able to say?
