Texas teenager given baby-sitting punishment

A Texas father has advertised his teenage daughter’s services as a free babysitter to punish her for breaking a curfew.

Robert Rausch put the advert in a community newspaper in Southlake, a wealthy suburb of Dallas-Fort Worth.

The advert names Rausch’s 16-year-old-daughter and says, “Want a FREE BABY-SITTER for a night out?” It explains that she is in trouble for missing her curfew and offers 30 hours of free baby-sitting.

Rausch says he wanted to discipline his daughter and help others at the same time.

It appears his daughter has already learned a lesson - she says she will not violate curfew again, nor throw any more late-night parties.
