[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As sad as this situation is, the responses are illogical. Teens have also been assaulted at sleepovers, by extended family, at parties, and when running or walking on trails. And they can be shot at malls, movie theaters, and church.

Unless you keep your kid in a bubble, there are risks in life and you should teach them how to assess and manage those risks.

I’m fine with Uber Teen for DS and will be for DD when she’s a teen. But they also have self-defense training and pepper spray, and we talk frequently about how to manage situations like this.

You all need to empower your children more so that they are ready for life. [/quote]

I agree with this. It’s usually the boyfriend!  My daughter and her friends have taken hundreds of Ubers.   They are professional performers or students in NYC.  She has never had an uncomfortable or dangerous situation. Neither have her friends. They are all late teens and early 20’s.  More recently they have more female drivers and they pair them with females.  My daughter said she’s been getting 50/50 male female drivers.   Her boyfriend has never had a female driver.

Walking, teen driver, mom driver, Uber driver, bus, subway are all equal in their risks which are very small except the teen driver.
