A pregnant mum-of-two who's addicted to crack and heroin has hit out at those who judge her. Former prostitute Tracey Whelan, 42, moved away from the Harehills area of Leeds in an effort to "get away from the drugs".
But she said she had found herself back there, begging for money to try to get a bus back to her home of Halifax. And she told LeedsLive she was sick of people judging her, insulting her and calling her derogatory names.
Tracey, from Chapeltown, has been addicted to drugs for 26 years, having got hooked when she was working as prostitute to survive. She said: “They call me a crackhead, dirty s*** and a smackhead. I’m in agony. You shouldn’t judge people, it’s not right. I don’t bother anyone.”
