Father Gives
Daughter $200 to Quit Facebook for Five Months
A 14 year old girl was given $200 for
quitting Facebook, not forever, but just 5 months. Many Facebook users have
taken “vacations” from the site. Rachel Baier, a high school freshman in
Massachusetts, told her dad she’d stop using Facebook until the end of the year
in exchange for $200.
Here’s a
quote from the father…
"She
approached me. She has been frustrated she hasn't been able to find a
babysitting job and she has been looking for ways to get cash, so she asked,
'If I didn't use Facebook for so long would you pay me?'"
The father thought she was joking at first. He later realized
her daughter was serious, so he drew up paperwork. "I went back and thought about it, and said if you are going to do it, we are going to sign a contract. And she said okay." The contract states that from Feb. 4, 2013 through June 26, 2013, Rachel will have her Facebook account deactivated. She will receive $50 halfway and $150 on the last day of ninth grade.
