This is what happens when you aren't the type of adult or parent a kid can trust or have faith in. Hopefully the kid doesn't go down the wrong path because of this behavior.

You can take the guns out of the picture and it's still shitty. You will never reach a friend or person by acting like this.

Hope he learns and understands and is able to move on.

Presumably she's old enough to have a phone and order an Uber. I'm guessing the father's taking the phone away (nothing she did).

Y'know, everything else aside it is profoundly inappropriate for rideshare contractors to be driving unaccompanied minors. They are not background checked at all the same way taxi drivers need to be. I'm kind of shocked uber allows it and that drivers feel comfortable with it. Obviously first and foremost this is an incredibly irresponsible (and dangerous to society) parent but holy shit, a rideshare corporation go ahead is not adequate for a kid to get into a strangers car.
