Spanish term or phrase: 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.
