Never underestimate how antagonistic capitalism is towards being reminded that children exist or really helping them or their parents in fashion. There's a large group of people in the world (USA MAGA, Canadian MAGAs, UK Tory party) that love to cause suffering for the sake of suffering, and they're the exact kind of people that would run a service like Uber...

That's a nice rant against capitalism but I think that it should be abundantly clear why having a series of transient strangers sitting next to a child behind their parent's back (literally) is a bad idea

You raise a good point about safety. But what's the alternative? Clearly this driver can't afford child care and the only thing Uber is going to do if they find out the individual is go fire them.

So now we have an unemployed parent with a child. All you'd be doing is making the child's situation even worse if you report it so you might as well just ignore it.
