Dad Pays Teen Daughter $200 to Quit Facebook

A Boston father decided to help his daughter break her addiction to Facebook the easy way: he bribed her. Offering monetary incentives is one sure fire way to insure that her account is deactivated and not used the remainder of the school year. Good plan, but does little to insure an alias account from being created. In the agreement (below), signed by both parties, the teen promised to deactivate the social network from this past Monday until June 26. In return, Baier will pay his daughter $50 in April and the remaining $150 in June, at the end of the five months.
