Well, no, they fscking don't, because they have to work to afford the skyrocketing costs of keeping themselves and their offspring alive, assclown. It's not unreasonable for a parent to use a transportation service to transport their kid.

It's unreasonable for the person being paid to provide that service to assault someone.

Clear now? Idiot.

Find another way, no way in hell am I putting my teen in that situation.

Is Uber for kids not mostly for rich people? I am middle class and nobody I know does this.

It is unreasonable for you to not think that this is putting a vulnerable child at risk.
I work and I wouldn’t do it.

I read somewhere that Lyft was going to roll out a program where women and teens could request female drivers. This makes sense and reduces the risk substantially.

It's about time.

They work to afford luxury vacations and 7,000 sqf homes. Be real.

Me! My teen used to walk/metro/bus everywhere, but it is way too dangerous out there now. Uber is the safest choice for our car less city family. I wouldn’t have thought so either, but I certainly didn’t anticipate how horribly this city would be run to the ground.

You wouldn’t think that a stranger driving alone with your child is not a good idea?

No one is safe getting in a car with a stranger but there is a difference between 18 and 16. I mean, 16 years old are allowed in the military are they?

So what about all the adults who also end up being assaulted by drivers? Are you saying it’s ok or somehow better bc they are over 18 ???


You are one of those posters who just thought you were going to start some kind of mob reaction agreeing with you. It didn’t happen. Let it go ….

An adult makes that decision for themself to get in the car, idiot.

NP
This is a teen, not an adult. There is a difference.

You just inadvertently made the pp’s argument as to why it’s a bad idea.

No one is blaming but they made a poor choice and that should be brought to attention as well.

+1 we have to accept this. Parents, do better. Never put your child in a cab alone.

Sorry honey, both my parents worked and I never, ever got a ride with a stranger.

+1 I’m a 45 year old woman and won’t take an Uber, let alone by myself.

A lot of people in this area do. And, as the mom of a teen boy, I might even be inclined to do so (versus my teen DD). Definitely something to consider, so I appreciate OP posting.

A lot of people in this area are irresponsible.
