Things seemed to be back to normal at Stone Crossing in Northgate Saturday, after a man who may be linked to an earlier kidnapping broke into a home, assaulted a woman and got away in the same neighborhood.

Families were out and about. But, there was one noticeable difference. Every neighbor had a higher level of awareness.

Mary Kyer Park, just blocks from the home invaded by the possible kidnapping suspect, was full of kids again, doing what they do best.

The Ernst family decided to take their kids there, rather than let them play in their own backyard, so they could keep an eye on them at all times.

This, after kids in the Gleneagle area spent recess indoors Friday when as many as 17 schools were on lock down while law enforcement looked for the suspect still on the loose.

The lock down wasn't enough for mother of four Deedee Daniger.

She claims she got no phone calls or emails about the manhunt until it was too late Friday.

"I would have never let 4 kids out of my house by themselves to walk themselves to the bus stop,” said Daniger.

District 20 officials say there was no notification, because they didn't feel there was a threat in the Stone Crossing neighborhood until later Friday morning.

Stone Crossing is no longer bombarded with K-9 units or police officers, but neighborhood tensions remain high, as the search for a suspect continues.
