niñeras abusadoras

This seems to be more specific that abusive nannies (text for an art show in Argentina):

La genealogía de esta pasión paranoica se remonta hacia finales de la década de los ´70, enlazando un vasto número de experiencias disímiles entre las que se fortaleció una conciencia generalizada sobre la posible existencia de demonios, posesiones involuntarias, manifestaciones demoniacas y actividades paranormales, que se vieron materializadas en las terroríficas resonancias de los asesinatos rituales de la Familia Manson (1969), la publicación de La Biblia Satánica (1969) de Anton LaVey y la creación previa de la Iglesia de Satanás (1966), el impacto cultural que significó la publicación de El Exorcista (1972) de William Peter Blatty, tanto como su adaptación cinematográfica (1973) y una fascinación mediática en aumento por dos figuras casi complementarias, los asesinos seriales y las niñeras abusadoras.

Thanks!

"abusive" (literal and ok IMO) but with a bit of poetic licence (UK)/license(US) "evil" would work so up to asker to decide...
Muriel Vasconcellos Aug 2, 2019:
@Sara I like 'evil nannies'. I think you should post your suggestion as an answer.
Sara Fairen Aug 2, 2019:
Evil nannies?
Elisa Lopez Schiaffino Aug 2, 2019:
Why do you think it refers to something other than abusive nannies? I don't see what else it could refer to. Am I missing something?

Serial killers and evil nannies... It is a bit of a cliché :-)

Many thanks :-)
agree Linda Grabner : Given the context of the rest of the passage, I'd say this is probably the best choice. It's what I'd go with if this were my job!

Thanks, Linda :-)
neutral Derek Voglis : If you are from the US you will say babysitters, not nannys.
