A mother shared an incident where a DoorDash driver allegedly asked her 15-year-old daughter if she had a boyfriend.
TikTok user @officiallilwolf posted the story to TikTok where it has since garnered 134,000 views as of Monday. The TikToker shares screenshot messages between her and the DoorDash driver in a greenscreen background filter.
The user explains how her âvery young lookingâ 15-year-old daughter ordered DoorDash. After the DoorDash driver, Jarrod, dropped off her order, the content creatorâs daughter allegedly received a message from him.
âHey Caterina you got a boyfriend,â the message read. âSorry you were just too cute I had to ask.â
According to @officiallilwolf, she wouldâve brushed off the message if the DoorDash driver was younger, believing Jarrod really thought her daughter was cute. However, there was âno possible wayâ her daughter was âmistaken as anybodyâ the driver âshould be hitting on.â
Outraged, the content creator says she responded to Jarrod by telling him her daughter was a minor and that DoorDash is âa delivery service, not Tinder for Pedophilic behavior.â After sending the message, @officiallilwolf claims she notified both DoorDash and her local police of the incident.
In a nutshell, the TikToker believed âthere isnât a âtoo farâ when it comes to keeping your children safe.â She even begged the question, âwhat if this was your kid?â Furthermore, she feared how far this wouldâve gone if her daughter had replied, reiterating how young her daughter looked for her age.
In her mind, @officiallilwolf believed without a shadow of a doubt that the driver âeither has done or will do it again.â Fortunately, she says her local police were quick in responding, but when she contacted DoorDash, a representative told her that the report was being escalated to management before the chat purportedly disconnected.
The Daily Dot reached out to @officiallilwolf via email and TikTok comment and DoorDash via press email regarding the video. Many viewers agreed and supported @officiallilwolf in the comments section of her video.
âDefinitely did the right thing. He has your home address, which is concerning enough!â one viewer wrote.
âYou are absolutely right in how you responded and handled it. 100% behind you,â a second praised.
âYou absolutely DID NOT go too far. I applaud you for being an amazing mother,â a third echoed.
In response to a comment, @officiallilwolf posted a follow-up video, updating viewers of the incident. She says her local police reached out to the district attorney, but since the driver didnât technically commit any unlawful action, they could not issue a subpoena to receive his information.
However, @officiallilwolf looked on the bright sideâshe intervened so the driver couldnât do anything to her daughter, and used TikTok to spread awareness to prevent this. She concludes the video by posting the photo her Blink Camera caught of the driverâs car, urging viewers watching to warn others of Jarrod, as she believes it is likely her daughter was not the only one that was subjected to his advances.
âIâm sure sheâs not the first, Iâm sure she wonât be the last and I feel like more people need to be aware of this,â she says.
In a comment, the parent clarified that the driver has been deactivated by DoorDash as a driver.
âSo at least there is that,â she wrote.
Update 11:10 a.m. February 7: In an email to the Daily Dot, a DoorDash representative shared the following statement:
âThe behavior shown in this video is unacceptable and we have permanently deactivated the Dasher responsible from our platform. We have reached out to the family directly to offer support.â
