A Safe and Sound crochet animal key chain.

Four students' own experiences with unwanted attention has lead them to develop functional - but funky - personal alarms as part of a school business project.

The 17-year-olds from Lynfield College in Auckland have launched Safe and Sound - personal safety alarms concealed in tiny crocheted animals that have wrist straps or can be attached to a bag.
