All her family members and children of course are victims. Are there others they preyed upon?
Yes, MT and FD used MT daughter (then 11-12 yrs old) to circumvent the rules of Family Court that at times permitted FD no access to his children (he would have MT daughter contact his children and he would chat with them online in this way when he was banned from doing so). FD would then have his children LIE to JFD about the presence of MT and her daughter at 4JX. The Dulos children spoke of this horror at the sentencing hearing and the psychological damage inflicted on the 5 children by MT and FD was horrific, particularly on Petros as he spoke about at Sentencing.
In short, MT and FD effectively weaponized her daughter as a tool in their arsenal to torture and torment JFD. Their goal was to turn the 5 Dulos children against JFD and their focus was mainly on the two oldest boys (11-12 at the time). Petros spoke of this issue and the great regret he felt about his relationship with his mother at the time of her death. Make no mistake, this ENTIRE scenario was concocted, orchestrated and planned by MT and FD. FD and MT made a direct play to 'pick off' the two oldest sons with the goal of having them demand to live with FD. It was all quite sick and evil imo and it put pressure on the two oldest that was absolutely inappropriate for their ages and the psychological damage was real and very clearly documented by the Family Court. This is JUST ONE reason that I believe GAL Atty Meehan is an incompetent and why JFD and her attorney were working hard to have him terminated as the GAL as his so called CARE of the Dulos children was anything but what it should have been to protect their mental health.
Make no mistake though, MT knew what was going on and was actively involved with EVERYTHING relating to the custody battle at the time. EVERYTHING. This is all quite clearly documented on the record in Family Court and there are very good reasons why MT and her daughter were not permitted to have access to the Dulos children. Very good reasons.
To be clear, MT daughter was a victim imo of her mothers (and FD who simply used her as a tool to accomplish his goals) abuse in choosing to use her own daughter to facilitate the goals of FD. The baby daddy (Begue) imo was also grossly negligent for allowing his daughter to be used in such a way by MT and FD and in a perfect world Child Protective Services would have been available to remove MT daughter to a different parent, family member or foster care where she wouldn't be a tool in a bitter divorce and custody battle. But, it appears MT manipulated both her daughter and Begue the Baby Daddy and so nothing was ever done to protect Nicole Begue.
I personally hate what FD and MT did in terms of using Nicole Begue to inflict pain and psychological suffering on JF and her children as it was evil but GAL Meehan knew what was going on and took way too long imo to fix the error in the documents that allowed contact between Nicole Begue and the Dulos children. The sad thing is that the psychological stress of the entire situation with the older Dulos children in particular that someone could have lost their lives and I can only imagine the daily torment that JFD endured knowing that this all was going on with her children even though they were under the care of doctors at the time. It was crushing to any mother but in this case it was all done to inflict maximum pain on JFD as FD and MT knew that the children were the entire life of JFD and she would do anything to protect them.
There was a well organized plan by MT and FD to make the life of JFD misery and horror at every turn. We heard at sentencing how MT enrolled her daughter at Renbrook School which is where the Dulos children attended and where JFD had many good friends and was very active in the community. Why do this as there are other solid schools in the area other than to insert MT and her daughter into the community that supported the 5 Dulos children imo.
We heard at sentencing that MT EVEN drove 1.5 hrs from Hartford to NC where she had no business being so that she could tour the school where the Dulos children were enrolled in NC (NCCS). Why do this other than to upset, disrupt and disorient JFD who picked NCCS as a supportive community both for herself and her children.
The MT daughter commentary at sentencing in support of her mother I thought was tragic on so many levels as she no doubt was pressured to speak but it was listening to her words on replay where it hit me that her daughter has chosen to have little to no awareness of the damage she inflicted not only on JFD but the Dulos children. NONE. Nicole Begue COULD HAVE spoken of her regret for what happened and apologized to Petros and Theodore for what happened but she didn't and didn't address the elephant in the room. MT daughter instead got up and spoke about skiing and her life with MT but spoke about nothing having to do with her role in inflicting pain on the Dulos children and in particular Petros and Theordore. But, make no mistake, Nicole Begue as a young child was weaponised by her mother and FD against the Dulos children but more importantly against JFD. Given the family of which she is part, imo Nicole Begue will most likely never take ownership of her role in what happened as she herself was a child as she demonstrated no inclination toward self reflection in her remarks and I feel sorry for her that she doesn't have adults in her life to facilitate this important process. The irony of Mama Troconis standing up and self identifying as a Clinical Psychologist with a Masters (she isn't) and hearing the words that came out of the mouth of Nicole Begue (and MT sisters and brother in law for that matter) simply boggles the mind. ITs just who these people are as humans as they just want what they want and don't care about anything beyond their needs and wants. But, I would have thought that at the sentencing that Nicole Begue (similarly to the Dulos children) might have had some level of self awareness surrounding what happened and her role in the horrific and psychologically damaging situation as a much older person. But, not unsurprisingly this self awareness was not seen in Nicole Begue and instead her world is year round skiing and Zoom calls with MT to work on her homework. Yes, Nicole Begue was a victim but she was also a well used instrument of torture and torment and I found her lack of self awareness about the situation stunning (but given her family its not at all surprising).
Sadly I believe the MT daughter to simply be a product of the great evil present in MT and the rest of her family. ALL the Troconis family knew what was going on with the divorce and custody and KNEW that MT daughter was an integral player in it all and YET they chose to do nothing to remove MT daughter from MT. IMO Begue the Baby Daddy who also spoke with very measured and careful words at the sentencing hearing about MT knew precisely what was going on and how his daughter had been used as a tool of torture and torment for the children and JFD. MT spoke in the LE interviews about her 'excellent and healthy' relationship with Begue but my guess is that this simply meant that he always did what she wanted regarding Nicole Begue and so she had no reason to fight with him. Atty Manning talking about people standing in the way of MT and given what was going on with Nicole Begue at the time she lived at 4JX, imo any parent with two brain cells would have demanded that the child be removed to a different environment. But Begue never seemed to interfere or even demand that his daughter be in boarding school and out of 4JX. Nope, never happened and so Nicole lived for years in the middle of one of the most toxic divorce actions in CT history. To me, its just another data point as to who MT and her entire family are as human beings and Nicole Begue was simply collateral damage in the games of many adults that imo should have known better.
IMO MT daughter given the circumstances of having a mother who thought it appropriate to use her young daughter to facilitate FD goals and a baby daddy who was on the other end of the world literally and figuratively and had is own family and life and didn't appear to care what happened to Nicole Begue in the time that she wasn't with him, would have been better off in boarding school, foster care or some other family member and NOT at 4JX.
So much time was spent at the farcical sentencing hearing talking about MT 'as a mother'. Make no mistake, this is a so called 'mother' most loosely defined imo who used her young daughter to facilitate the games and manipulation of FD to effectively wage psychological warfare with JFD via using the children that she loved more than life itself. This is who MT is 'as a mother' and as a human being and its just one reason why she was not permitted to be around the Dulos children by Court Order.
MOO
