“I think Uber and the driver might have some liability in this case. The dad’s choice seems foolish in retrospect, but in the heat of the moment it kind of makes sense.”
Then there was the first Uber driver that took her to another town without the father knowing.
Yes. Both drivers seem to have some culpability. They appear to have picked the girl up, no questions asked. I don’t know but I am guessing that where underage riders are allowed, the driver is notified by the app and also can decide whether to accept in advance. Doesn’t look like policy was followed in either case.
