Would an offer of cash get your kids off their computers?

Parents have tried various techniques to get their teenagers to spend a little less time on front of a screen and a little more time outside, but a Massachussets dad decided to go for bribery.

Paul Baier offered his 14-year-old daughter, Rachel, $200 to stay off of Facebook for five months.

He even had her sign a Facebook Deactivation Agreement he wrote up.

What does she plan to do with her newfound riches? In the agreement she says "I plan to use the money for the following: stuff."
