“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

One-Line Summary: Formal notice to Westminster’s Mr. Murphy regarding emotional abuse, coercion, and suppression of child voice.


From the Bench of the Mirror Court

In re: The Matter of Mr. Murphy’s Credential-Shy Coercion v. The Voice of the Child


I. What Happened

During supervised contact, my children disclosed that Mr. Murphy — operating under Westminster Children’s Services — has:

  • Discouraged them from expressing their wishes;

  • Threatened them with separation for speaking openly about their experiences; and

  • Attempted to dissuade them from disclosing concerns about their foster placement.

This behaviour was neither accidental nor incidental. It was deliberate, patterned, and wholly incompatible with lawful safeguarding practice.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

Mr. Murphy’s conduct constitutes:

  • Emotional abuse under Children Act 1989, s.31;

  • A breach of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 12;

  • Potential criminality under the Malicious Communications Act 1988 and Misfeasance in Public Office; and

  • A direct violation of Article 8 ECHR – the right to private and family life.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

SWANK London Ltd. is committed to archiving instances of procedural malpractice, safeguarding misuse, and the weaponisation of authority against children’s voices. This case exemplifies all three.


IV. Violations

  1. Suppression of Child Voice – An unlawful silencing of the very individuals the system purports to protect.

  2. Use of Threats as Behaviour Management – A safeguarding abomination.

  3. Failure to Uphold Professional Standards – No evidence of relevant training in child psychology or trauma-informed care.


V. SWANK’s Position

The Mirror Court is unimpressed by Mr. Murphy’s apparent reluctance to operate within the confines of law, ethics, and basic decency. A 48-hour written response has been demanded, including:

  • Proof of safeguarding qualifications;

  • Evidence of formal training in child psychology and trauma-informed care;

  • A plan to permanently end the suppression of lawful communication by my children.

Failure to respond will be treated as a refusal, preserved in the evidentiary record, and escalated to court and oversight bodies — with the U.S. Consulate already on copy.

Amused by the Ignorant Or, The Delightful Spectacle of Watching People Misunderstand Everything and Then Write It Down



THE UNITED KINGDOM OF FAILURE
Or, How an Entire Government Mistook Disdain for Mental Illness


Filed: 8 August 2025
Reference: SWANK/UKFailure/Chronicle08
PDF Filename: 2025-08-08_SWANK_Post_UnitedKingdomOfFailure.pdf
Court Labels: Family Court, Civil Claim, Administrative Review, Social Work England, Human Rights
Search Description: Misuse of power, defamation of a disabled mother, UK safeguarding collapse


I. What Happened
Let’s be clear: my four American children and I were already recovering from a near-death respiratory crisis caused by sewer gas poisoning when the British State decided to launch a performance art piece entitled: How Many Procedural Failures Can You Commit Before We Sue You in Three Jurisdictions at Once?

Instead of investigating the environmental hazard, correcting the misdiagnosis, or — heaven forbid — providing support, Westminster social workers used this period of crisis to build a case against me that included:

  • False allegations of intoxication

  • Sunglasses worn indoors

  • Vague claims of “mental illness”

  • And now, the pièce de résistance:
    A fabricated suicide video.

Yes — a social worker reportedly told one of my children that she had a video of me threatening to kill myself. No such video exists. No such event occurred. No such allegation was made in court, ever. The entire thing is a fictional script whispered to a minor by a civil servant wearing the wrong perfume.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

That the safeguarding process in this country is not a protective mechanism.
It’s a reputational assassination pipeline — weaponising disability, maternal devotion, and medical trauma to pathologise anyone who challenges authority with articulate resistance.

Instead of offering tutors, stability, or basic human curiosity, Westminster opted for narrative construction over support. At no point did they engage with the actual problem — they just fabricated new ones.

My children and I were in crisis.
They chose to harass, surveil, and lie.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is not an isolated event — it’s an archetype.
It is what happens when institutional boredom meets procedural illiteracy.

And because, quite frankly, we remain amused by the ignorance surrounding us.
We attend contact sessions three times a week where “professionals” monitor me to ensure I don’t hurt the same children I homeschooled, advocated for, and protected through international relocation, environmental collapse, and the hostile architecture of British bureaucracy.

The performance is exhausting — for them.
We’re just documenting it in real time.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, s.31 – Emotional abuse by the State

  • Malicious Communications Act 1988 – Fabricated suicide claim delivered to a child

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Art. 6 & 8 – Lack of fair process and violation of family life

  • Equality Act 2010 – Misuse of disability status for narrative advantage

  • UNCRC Articles 3 & 12 – Failure to protect the child from emotionally manipulative safeguarding interventions

  • Social Work England Standards 4.1, 4.4, 5.3 – Misuse of role, emotional risk, false statements


V. SWANK’s Position

This incident is now formally logged in:

  • The Family Court proceedings under Case No: ZC25C50281

  • The civil claim already filed

  • The Judicial Review bundle

  • My complaint to Social Work England

  • And the SWANK Evidentiary Catalogue — where clarity and contempt are legally admissible.

We’re not waiting for your integrity.
We’re waiting for your mistakes to pile high enough to form a witness stand.


VI. Postscript:
While the Entire United Kingdom Tries to Figure Out What’s Going On…

We’re simply sitting here,
crocheting through contact,
annotating your failures,
and waiting for you to wake up to reality.

Because we already know what happened.
We wrote it down.

Re Rhetoric and Reputational Risk: Ex Parte Litigation v. Narrative Control



🪞The Bureaucrat’s Nightmare

Or, How One Internal Email Ruined a Safeguarding Fantasy


Filed: 8 August 2025
Reference: SWANK-DISCLOSURE/INFORMANT/MISFEASANCE
Filename: 2025-08-08_SWANK_InternalDisclosure_ReputationalSafeguardingScandal.pdf
Summary: SWANK has received an internal disclosure suggesting that Westminster’s safeguarding actions may have been driven not by child welfare risk — but by litigation anxiety and reputational containment.


I. What Was Disclosed

An internal informant — whose name shall remain protected — has confirmed what any literate reader of our timeline would already suspect:

That the removal of my children under the guise of “safeguarding” was never truly about them.

It was about me.

Specifically:

About the risk I posed — not to my children —
but to the institution itself.

The risk of exposure.
The risk of litigation.
The risk of well-documented, thoroughly archived embarrassment.

Apparently, my court filings, lawful complaints, and evidence publication made certain senior professionals feel quite nervous. So nervous, in fact, that they began reframing “concerns” — not around the children’s actual safety — but around how bad it would look if they got sued.

And that’s when the procedural theatre began.


II. What This Confirms

That reputational panic became a driving force in statutory decision-making.

That internal staff knew the actual safeguarding threshold hadn’t been met.

That public image took precedence over child welfare — and Section 31 of the Children Act was twisted to fit the mood.

That my protected speech, litigation, and very existence as an articulate mother became the so-called “risk.”

If this sounds familiar, it’s because it is. It’s the classic institutional manoeuvre:

Collapse from the inside.
Blame the mother.
Hope no one reads the documents.


III. What SWANK Thinks About It

This isn’t shocking.

It’s reassuring.

Because when a bureaucracy responds to a mother’s documentation by staging a removal — and then justifies it with nothing but gossip, sunglasses, and misdiagnosed asthma — they reveal exactly what they’re afraid of:

The truth.

And when that truth is quietly corroborated by one of their own, the entire architecture collapses — with all the elegance of a school report written in crayon.


IV. Legal and Procedural Implications

This disclosure will now join the evidentiary record — and the following statutes are on formal alert:

  • Children Act 1989, s.31 – Threshold for removal not met

  • Malicious Communications Act 1988 – Use of false narratives

  • Misfeasance in Public Office – Abuse of safeguarding powers

  • Article 6 and 8 ECHR – Fair process and private family life

  • Equality Act 2010 – Targeting of a disabled mother

  • UNCRC Articles 3 & 12 – Manipulation of child perception

  • Social Work England Standards – Code breaches 4.1, 4.4, 5.3

  • Bromley Family Law – Improper evidentiary thresholds


V. SWANK’s Position

We now move forward from speculation to documentation.

The internal disclosure has been preserved, time-stamped, and legally archived.
No names will be shared — unless provoked.
No full content will be published — unless escalated.
But the record has been updated. The risk has changed.

And the next move belongs to Westminster.

But in the meantime, my children and I will continue to do what we do best:
Wait. Watch. And write everything down.

In the Matter of Procedural Delirium and the Medicinal Use of Narrative Displacement



🪞In re: The Curious Pharmacology of the Kingdom of Westminster
Or, What Are They Prescribing Over There?

Filed: 7 August 2025
Reference: SWANK-DELIRIUM/SAFETY/UNLICENSEDOPINIONS
Filename: 2025-08-07_SWANK_WorkplaceMedication_WestminsterSocialWork.pdf
Summary: An informal inquiry into the unknown substances possibly fuelling institutional logic at Westminster Children’s Services.


I. What Happened

After months of observing the procedural hallucinations, baffling communications, and inverted safeguarding logic exhibited by Westminster employees, a simple — if legally unorthodox — question must now be asked:

What drugs are they on?

Because no sober person:

– Treats sunglasses as a safeguarding risk,
– Tells a 16-year-old that their mother threatened suicide via imaginary video,
– Forgets to schedule a hair strand test they themselves ordered,
– Or calls a mother “non-engaging” after 300 pages of emails, filings, and court submissions.


II. Possibilities Under Review

We are currently investigating whether Westminster Children’s Services may be using a unique clinical cocktail known as:

  • Deflexatol: Helps professionals ignore documents right in front of them.

  • Misconstruidone: Causes mild-to-severe narrative inversion.

  • Projectionex: Enables workers to accuse others of precisely what they’re doing.

  • Lithium-Lite: Like empathy, but placebo.

  • Bureaucritaline: Elevates paperwork above actual child welfare.

Side effects may include:

– Wild accusations,
– Misuse of public power,
– Retaliatory safeguarding procedures,
– And a complete inability to read.


III. SWANK’s Position

While we are not currently calling for a clinical drugs test of Westminster Children’s Services, we would support it.

Because whatever’s happening in that office isn’t policy — it’s pharmacological performance art.

And until further notice, Polly Chromatic and her four U.S. citizen children would prefer to be governed by professionals not under the influence of:

– Power without evidence,
– Concern without clarity,
– Or safeguarding practices with psychoactive side effects.
