I have no idea what made Tracey do something like this. she also has a 9 year old daughter.
I have tried to contact her Mum but to no avail.

MADNESS

Curious that the BBC named her yet reports on Radio City all day today said they could not name her due to "legal reasons."

Poor woman, poor son, poor daughter. There are no winners here and I am not sure prosecution is the answer. Sounds more like she needs help.

The world has gone mad.
