Who thought this was a good idea?

‘This card is punching down, abusing children in care … for the butt of a joke. The difference between other “edgy card jokes” is that this one is laughing at a vulnerable foster child.

Paperchase announced it had taken the card off its website and instructed stores to remove it from displays on Wednesday.Online attention was brought to the card earlier this week when Sophia Alexandra Hall, who has publicly written about her journey from foster care to Oxford University, tweeted about it.
