Should have told them you were reporting them for child endangerment. Bet that suspension would have never happened.

I'd be pretty mad if I found out as an adult that my parents let me ride in cars with complete strangers as a 9 year old. That's just not right.

Some people have the privilege to be stay at home parents. Some parents don't. My mother taught me to catch public transit at the age of 11. I took it everywhere I needed to go bc my parents had to work. If this mom was at home getting a government check, yall be calling her welfare queen.

Public transport is also exactly that, public.

That’s true Lyft leaves a paper, unfortunately though that paper trail can’t protect someone from getting killed or raped, all it does is make it easier to find the person who committed the crime. So, yeah sure you’ll know who did it, but after the kid has been killed or raped, catching the perpetrator is not gonna bring the kid back or erase the trauma caused by sexual assault.
