Connecticut mother high on Ritalin 'swung her baby around like a baseball bat'
    #18971515 - 10/13/13 09:40 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

A 39-year-old Connecticut mother has been arrested after swinging her one-year-old daughter by her feet like a baseball bat while high on Ritalin.

Aurora Houghtaling of Naugatuck was allegedly swinging the baby around by her feet on Maple Street around 6:30pm Wednesday.

Police responding to several 911 calls managed to remove the child from her mother with difficulty after Houghtaling refused to stop swinging the baby.

According to Naugatuck Patch, Houghtaling was making irrational statements and appeared to be under the influence of drugs.

She later admitted she had been snorting crushed methylphenidate pills, or Ritalin.

The baby was taken to Connecticut Children's Medical Center for evaluation.

Houghtaling was arrested and charged with breach of peace, risk of injury to child, second-degree failure to appear and interfering with officer/resisting arrest.

The day before the incident, police were called to a local McDonald's where Houghtaling had begun threatening other customers.

A witness told WFSB that she said, 'If no one calls the cops I'm going to kill everyone in here and I'm going to kill myself.'

Houghtaling was taken to a local hospital for psychiatric evaluation where she remained Thursday evening.

According to Naugatuck Patch, Houghtaling has pending cases at Waterbury Superior Court for disorderly conduct and second-degree failure to appear.

A heartfelt message left on Houghtaling's Facebook page from another of her daughters appears to address the incident:

'Mom, never in my life have I ever met someone as beautiful and as smart as you. You make so many mistakes, and sometimes you learn and sometimes you don't. sometimes it takes a few tumbles down the hill to get back on track. I wish I could of helped you. and I wish I was there when this happened. People like to make things look worse than they really are. and deep down, you are a wonderful woman. You're talented, and you've come a long way. You've made beautiful children who are smart and amazing. And we all do truly love you. We just hate to see you in pain and worsening yourself. Please get help, please for the sake of your children. I love you mom.'
