The 73-year-old granny lost $93,000 at a casino during that time.

"Stealing your grandson's money? That's about as bad as you can get, short of physical assault," the boy’s father told ABC News.

The Indiana grandma faces four counts of theft.  She was named the trustee of her grandson Christian’s college fund in 2003, according to the Daily News.
