Our Town Unites For Baby Camilla

The foundation of every great Town is a large number of people who really care about their community. In Naugatuck, a vast majority of our citizens love their town and they always step up to the plate to help out whenever necessary. This fact is especially true in times of crisis or tragedy.

On November 18, 2022, the Borough experienced the most horrific tragedy imaginable. A one year old baby’s life was taken from us. The Naugatuck Police Department immediately began an investigation and man hunt. It was all hands on deck until the fugitive was captured. The police social worker and other Police Officers worked with the family to help out as needed during the hunt for the killer. Every member of the department as well as many other town departments did their part to assist the family of baby Camilla.

The police department designated the color pink as the color to be worn by officers to remember "Baby Camilla". The officers began wearing pink ribbons. Pink bracelets were purchased and worn by the NPD. Naugatuck citizens and many business locations set up pink lights and signs throughout the town. The community rallied to come to a vigil for Baby Camilla and her family on a rainy night. The gazebo was lit in pink. The citizens of Naugatuck once again stepped up to the plate to help the family.

Pink bracelets were purchased to go on sale to help Camilla's mother. The post to sell the bracelets went viral. The first batch of bracelets sold out in 2 hours at all Dunkin locations, the Loaded Goat and Town Hall. More bracelets were received and they are selling like wildfire.



Naugatuck has once again rallied to help a family in need during an extreme crisis. We are a tight knit community and we have once again come together again in tragic circumstances.
