Millions of people, all the time. What are you going to do? Chaperone your child to college?
Not that poster but my kids drive alone every day. I would not want them in an Uber.
Statistics will show your teen is more likely to be the victim of a carjacking while driving alone than assault by an Uber driver.
Uber has a safety record of 99.9% . The victims of incidents are usually the Uber driver getting robbed by teenagers or even killed. So don’t be ridiculous
Was this reported anywhere?
Yes. It was. The police are involved.

Everything has a risk. Some parents can only do LYFT/Ubers to get their kids to sports and other events. Especially single parents. The judging on here is insane.

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

She has probably been more at risk for assault her whole life by someone I would have considered a friend, neighbor, or relative. If I had divorced and remarried, she would likely have been most at risk from stepdad. People are terrible at actually calculating risks.
I’m not trying to say “yes, let’s all send our teens out in an Uber alone,” but really the hysterics over this are unnecessary.

Jesus so judgmental. Teens ride in Ubers all the time. For sports and social stuff.
Then you put them in danger.

Don't believe me if you don't want to. I don't really care.
Clearly you do.

Like coaches abuse kids and we still do sports, we’re just careful. But it’s not like we’ve cut out 100% of sports abuse.
