A 12-Year-Old Girl Took An Uber While Her Parents Were Asleep And Rode It To The Location Where She Died By Suicide
The family of a 12-year-old Florida girl who died by suicide after taking an Uber alone is demanding the ride-hailing company make changes to enforce its policy of not allowing minors to use the service without an adult.
"I believe that if the driver had questioned or followed the rules or denied a ride my daughter would be here today," the girl's mother, Lisha Chen, said during a press conference Thursday. "Everybody was shocked because nobody suspected she had any problems," Chen said, adding that they still don't know why she killed herself.
"I think if Uber had followed their policy without a doubt our daughter would still be here that would have been the one red flag that we would have caught," Diamond said."Uber took my daughter past the point of no return."
