Dear Abby: I’m Mortified My Son Stole His Daughter’s College Money, Has No Plan to Help Pay for Education
The grandmother says she saved some money for college, but it will not cover the full costs and she does not trust her son with it.

- The granddaughter, feeling her father ruined her future, urged her grandmother to inform her great-grandparents about the stolen college fund.
- Abby advised that the truth is unlikely to damage the great-grandparents' health and recommended disclosing the theft in case they planned to include the grandson in their estate.
