Cynthia Miller, the accused who is from Olympia, Wash., appeared before a judge in Thurston County Superior Court for a probable cause hearing through a video conferencing this week, according to kirotv.com.
Miller was ordered held on $40,000 bail after the hearing, during which she appeared confused and at one point denied the allegation.
The probable cause affidavit against Miller states she would force her granddaughter to stand in a corner of the family's apartment holding a Bible over her head even as other family members would shout "Jehovah." Two other children lived with Miller and her husband.
The girl allegedly had bruises and burns on various parts of her body as well as several old fractures to her arms, legs, fingers and toes.
Miller and her husband were often angry with the girl and thought she was stealing from others in the family and was evil, according to neighbors.
