[quote=Anonymous]I am the original poster.  My 14 old DD is not allowed to use Uber but her friends use it all the time.  She thinks I am being too strict and I told her in this case I am protecting my child from being placed in a situation she shouldn't be.  I will not go into further details about her friends and these Uber drives but only to say it's very concerning to me and my husband.  Maybe we are too conservative but being able to follow your child's Uber ride on GPS and texting during the trip does not keep them safe if the texting stops and the GPS shows your child going in a different direction than home or the driver is behaving inappropriately. I guess you can call the police.  There are plenty of cases of assault and even assault of a 13 year old girl but I am not sure why someone needs an incident like this to justify whether or not to let their young daughter or son ride with Uber alone.
