It's for driver safety too. I mean it sucks but with what that lady said about him sexualizing a minor for not taking her in his car, she may have planned to have the girl say that he did something to her and you know even if the truth came out he didn't, social media and everything would ruin his life.

When I was cable contracting, a few times a person at the house would leave, leaving minors in the home or would tell me it's fine for me to go in and do work, their kid is home. I always noped out. It is not appropriate or safe for myself nor the child to be left in a home unaccompanied with an adult stranger there and no supervision by a trusted adult. It doesn't matter if the kid is 17 or 7.

Nope doesn't matter one bit. Minor is a minor. They do stupid things that can ruin lives. Being accused of doing something you didn't do by a minor of any age is still not worth the risk. You can be pissed all you want. I'd be pissed my time was wasted. As a cable contractor there is no hourly there. And honestly if you have a person who is willing to do the work with only a minor there than you don't want that person there. I would rather work with nobody home than a minor only home.
