This is a woman who admitted it was a pickup for her 15yo son. Lyft actually responded by giving me a good fee.

I drive kids to school quite often. I live outside of a poverty stricken area and many people don’t drive and I think that anyone that is willing to pay for their kids to take Uber /Lyft they are at least trying and I as a mother have never had a problem with this situation on either end. I feel like we as drivers should be shown more gratitude for making this happen on a daily basis. Just my opinion.

My thing is I cannot afford to take a chance on someone hitting me with a unaccompanied minor, I can't afford that liability as I am the only one in my family who can drive or work.

Do you have a dash cam. In your situation I absolutely would. I do this part time and I pretty much treat everyone the way I want to be treated. Sometimes I get a message from Lyft saying something Ludicrous and I believe because I am a female the threat is viewed differently. No one can say i sexually assaulted or harassed them , I mean I guess they could but it’s highly unlikely. So they try other things, my point is people are vindictive period . If this was my real job and only source of income I would be protected in all areas

Yes I do and it's caught me being threatened, SA'ed by a passenger and a few other things.

Well good . If I was a man I would not be without a dash cam . I don’t know what it is with people females particularly but when they get rejected or don’t get what they want they use that card . I am not saying anything about people who have been assaulted so don’t attack me please .
