My day has been made.

4:30 am Rescue Bot Head Cannon

Fri, 24 May 2013 09:15:37 -0400

So it’s a reoccurring RB fandom speculation as to why Chief Burns doesn’t have a wife or what happened to her.
It’s commonly accepted head cannon that she died in some sort of accident…but consider the following:

What if…there was never any Mrs. Burns? What if all four Burns siblings were actually adopted?

Let me explain,

First off, most fire houses/police stations are also “Safe Places”, i.e. a place women can leave their newborn babies if they can’t take care of them. The police usually would take said baby and give it to an adoption agency or orphanage, but Gryphon Rock is a small town, I doubt they have an orphanage….so what if Burns just took each newborn in?

Or maybe each sibling lost their parents due to some accident that sparked each’s passion for rescue. Kade’s may have died in a fire, making him want to be a fireman to save people. The idea of fighting and defeating the thing that took away his parents gives him an inflated ego, like he slated a dragon.
Graham’s could have died in an electrical storm, making him want to be an engineer to design better, safer technology.
Kate’s we’re lost on a hiking trip in the woods and were never found, so her height obsession was sprung from a desire to see where everything was.
Cody’s might have just left him at Burns’ doorstep, which is why he never feels appreciated or like he belongs.

When these children lost their families, Burns’ Safe Place status made him the most qualified foster father…but eventually got so attached to them that he legally adopted them.

This could explain why his wife or the children’s mother is never mentioned whatsoever. As well as why he was able to accept the Rescue Bots into his family so quickly and easily…he’s used to taking in individuals who have no where else to go.

Also i only just noticed that the little candy critters are smiling the whole time.

The U.S.’ Teen Birth Rate Continues To Plummet, But Remains Stubbornly Higher In The South

By Tara Culp-Ressler on May 23, 2013 at 12:00 pm

The CDC’s research builds on previous data that showed the United States’ teen pregnancy rate has plunged to record lows since 1991, largely because of adolescents’ expanded access to contraception. “Credit goes to teens themselves who are clearly making better decisions about sex, contraception, and their future,” Bill Albert, the chief program officer of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, told the Associated Press.

But those type of preventative health resources aren’t equally available to teens in every part of the country. Over the past decade, teen pregnancy rates have consistently been higher in Southern states that don’t provide students with adequate sexual health instruction. Since abstinence-only courses often present misleading information about contraception, a full 60 percent of young adults underestimate birth control’s effectiveness and are more likely to skip it because they don’t believe it will make a difference. And teens in rural areas still struggle to access contraception, partly because there are fewer health clinics in less populous places and partly because a societal stigma surrounding teen sexuality still pervades conservative communities.

Unfortunately, this correlation isn’t limited to teen pregnancy and teen births. Southern states that don’t offer comprehensive sex ed classes also have the highest rates of STDs.

Brought to you by someone who lives in one of the “less than 20% decline” which I can say with certainty is because we still only have abstinence only education, which I plan to change as soon as I finish training.

For people confused about NY there, it’s because upstate has a lot of issues so far as social conservativism and religious fundamentalism. My aunt worked with Planned Parenthood up north a ways for YEARS, and the education and awareness was just abysmal. People are used to thinking of New York as an urban, super-liberal snobby elitist place, but you need to remember that that really only applies to that tiny little bit in the southernmost tip of the state. If it wasn’t for NYC and a few counties immediately north, New York would be a red state.
