New Video

Hi Everyone,
Make sure you check out the new MJ Safety Solutions video where we shoot our bulletproof (actually for legal purposes - bullet resistant) panel many times. I think you will be impressed. It’s the same panel that is in our My Child’s Pack, the “bulletproof backpack”. The term bulletproof is miss-leading, nothing is bulletproof, the correct way to say it is bullet resistant. It’s been posted on YouTube and Mysapce, I will post the link tomorrow, but for now if you search for “bulletproof backpack” or “MJ Safety Solutions” you will find us. Post a comment and let me know what you think.

Below is what a Doctor specializing in School Shootings have to say about MJ Safety Solutions bulletproof backpacks;


Sailsbury, MD 21801 August 15 2007 Child Violence Expert Comments on This Frightening RealitySALISBURY, M.D., Aug. 16, 2007—It began with Columbine in 1999, and most recently the tragedy at Virginia Tech reminds parents that sending kids back to school may mean saying goodbye forever. With the recent release of a bulletproof backpack, designed by two Massachusetts fathers to be used by children as a last resort defense against similar shootings, child violence expert Kathryn Seifert, Ph.D. says every parent should buy a "My Child's Pack" to protect their children."In this day and age, with everything that's going on, I think a bulletproof backpack is absolutely necessary," says Dr. Seifert, who has over 30 years of experience in mental health, corrections, and forensics. "That's just the reality of our times. But at the same token, I think it is very sad that this is what our society has come to."Yet Dr. Seifert says the My Child's Pack, which costs $175, is a reactionary safeguard, and that there are many other preemptive steps parents and authority can take to assure guns are not toted to school in the first place. "I'd like to see people spend as much and more money on violence prevention and treatment to bring these children back from the verge so that they are no longer dangerous," says Dr. Seifert, Founder and CEO of Eastern Shore Psychological Services, which specializes in treating children.This begins, says Dr. Seifert, by looking for warning signs of abuse, neglect, withdrawal, bullying, deviant peer group, and other risk factors, intervening, and providing the appropriate treatment to the troubled youth.In her award-winning book How Children Become Violent: Keeping Your Kids out of Gangs, Terrorist Organizations, and Cults (Acanthus 2007), written for parents and therapists, Dr. Seifert explains her theory of Disrupted Attachment Patterns (DAP). DAP is the inability to form empathy for others because early attachment to caregivers was thwarted or dysfunctional. DAP forms in childhood, and, if not assessed or treated, can be expressed in the willingness to hurt others in the future. The book also discusses Dr. Seifert's own violence assessment, the CARE: Child and Adolescent Risk Evaluation (Seifert, 2003). The CARE is the only proven scientific tool of its kind that can identify dangerous youth as young as 4 years old and the services needed to prevent future violence.To learn more about Dr. Seifert, please visit her website: www.DrKathySeifert.com.

This is me

I, am Joe Curran, the J in MJ Safety Solutions. I am a 42 year old married father of a daughter, a son, and a golden retriever. I'm the guy on the left in the picture. This is a brief history of my company;

After the columbine tragedy my partner, Mike Pelonzi and I, two concerned fathers, were worried about our own children’s safety. As longtime friends and firearms instructors we made the decision to become proactive in giving students and teachers a safety tool when it came to armed intruders in schools.
After years of testing we succeefully created the "My Childs Pack". A full size Bullet proof backpack for students and teachers to use. Adding a 20oz (The weight of one bottle of water) affordable ballistic panel that has been certified to a threat level IIIA.
The ballistic panel is sewn into the back of the backpack and gives the user a level of protection never before offered to the civilian market..
These high quality rugged backpacks have multiple pockets, sleeves, beverage holders, and of course a laptop compartment which meets the needs of any student at any grade level.
We then created MJ Safety Solutions, their company that would make these ground breaking Bullet Proof Backpacks available to students , teachers and others.
The backpacks were introduced August 8, 2007 in a story in the Boston Herald and then featured on Fox 25 news and wcvb channel 5 news with Pam Cross. The story of the My Childs Pack a Bullet Proof backpack continued to draw media attention across the United States and abroad. Featured on over 500 News reports, radio ,TV shows and numerous magazines include Time Magazine, New York Times Magazine, The wall Street Journal, etc.

Bill Barbin, another longtime friend of mine came on board to take on the marketing and e-commerce end of things, he brings a fresh perspective to our company.

My Childs Pack continues to make its mark around the world as the first affordable lightweight full size bullet proof backpack.
MJ Safety Solutions has received thousands of e-mails from concerned parents, teachers, police and others with questions, praise and suggestions for new products. In answering some of those needs MJ Safety Solutions has designed the Executive Pack, The explorer Pack and the Ranger Pack all come with the same ballistic panel that is in the My Childs Pack.
MJ Safety Solutions also offers a briefcase panel that comes in a water resistant nylon cover they, also do custom work on request.
