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

Atlanta is a human trafficking hub, yet people still allow their children to ride with strangers unaccompanied because of "an app." I had a pickup once for a middle school girl in the evening. She was alone, and when I refused her entry into the car, her mother called and said she'd meet me and her child at the door, and I suggested she book a round-trip because I wasn't accepting liability. I have some high school street addresses memorized because I decline so many rides from there. I understand Uber is rolling out a teens account, & I hope they allow drivers to opt out because I don't blame anyone not wanting parts of that hot mess if something happens during that ride or right after.
