Her son is now 20, just two years older than when Ms Hannah Chun was pregnant with him and sent to jail for abusing ketamine.
Ms Chun, now 38 and a mother of four children, was arrested during an anti-drug operation in 2003.
She found out she was pregnant while waiting for her case to be heard before the courts, and stopped taking drugs out of fear it would affect her unborn child.
“I was already jailed once, when I was 17. But I was addicted to ketamine, and went back to jail a year later.
“When I was sentenced the second time, I was five months’ pregnant.”
She was sentenced to two years in jail.
