The Babysitter Killings - Helen Patricia Moore

In the late 1970s, in Sydney’s south-west, a series of child
deaths left families devastated and searching for answers.





At first, they were called tragedies. Cot deaths. Unexplained.





But there was a pattern no one saw.





Each child had been left in the care of a teenage babysitter.
