A heartbroken family is considering suing Uber after a non-English speaking Uber driver picked up their 12-year-old daughter late at night and took her to a parking garage in downtown Florida, where she took her own life.

Laura Douglas, the attorney representing the family of the girl, Benita Diamond, said that the girl downloaded the app on her mother’s phone late on Jan. 10 while her parents were sleeping and summoned a driver to pick her up at an empty parking lot near their house in Lake Nona.
