Social media erupted in fury, calling the message disgusting and unacceptable — leading to mass unsubscribes. Wowcher issued a full apology, admitting the language was unacceptable and blaming internal oversight. Meanwhile, police are investigating the attack, having arrested a suspect on suspicion of attempted murder, though he’s since been released on bail. The focus remains on the child’s recovery and supporting his family — while Wowcher vows to overhaul its processes to prevent such a blunder ever again.
