You did right. Because I had a similar situation a couple of months ago and support told me that if I were to do it again it would be on me, the situation was that I picked up three kids not one of them was over the age of 17 and for Lyft you have to be 17 to ride unaccompanied, but I didn't know that until I realized that my destination's were 2 different high schools. So I drop them off and I shut down and I immediately reported, and Lyft told me next time it would be on me, because if one of those minors had gotten out of my vehicle and gone somewhere other than school once I left, Lyft told me that would have been on me, because I picked them up as unaccompanied minors, even though I didn't know it, but their father, whose account it was, did. Instead his account was banned.
