Living with low self-esteem and longing to be accepted and loved, the 34-year-old says during her teen years she fell into the wrong crowd and began using her body in exchange for drugs. She says at the time she also struggled with a substance addiction. Bick was accepted into university, but dropped out a short time later, citing challenges stemming from a learning disability. She was also dealing with the pain of losing her mother. By the time she was in her early 20s, she was trafficked by her boyfriend at the time.Polish woman claims to be Madeleine McCann, shares ‘proof’ on social media
