A pregnant ex-prostitute has spoken out over the abuse she gets from passers-by who judge her because of her drug addiction.
Mother-of-two Tracey Whelan, 42, is from Chapeltown in Leeds, and she told LeedsLive how she had moved away from the Harehills area of the West Yorkshire city to "get away from the drugs" and turn over a new leaf. Sadly, she found herself stuck back in the bustling Leeds suburb, begging for change to afford a bus back home to Halifax.
Tracey said she was sick of people insulting her and calling her derogatory names - most mocking her 26-year addiction or history of sex work. She first got hooked on drugs heroin and crack while working as a prostitute and trying to make ends meet.
