Ad offers free baby-sitting as punishment
SOUTHLAKE, Texas, The parents of a Texas 16-year-old caught violating her curfew took out a newspaper ad offering their daughter's services as a free baby sitter.
Wendy Rausch of Southlake, 16-year-old Kirstin Rausch's stepmother, said her husband came up with the 30 hours of free baby-sitting scheme after Kristin was caught with friends out later at night than allowed, the Fort Worth (Texas) Star-Telegram reported Friday.
"We wanted her to make it up with community service," Wendy Rausch said. "My husband got the idea from a situation he encountered at work that people like free labor."
The teenager's parents said they are screening responders to the ad to pick the right candidates for a night of free baby-sitting. They said Kristin has completed about half of her required hours.
