200ma is 2 tenths of an amp, not 1 tenth, and a car with this draw and a typical 125RC starting battery, parked when fully charged, will be down to 10.5 volts in about 10 days. At that point it is considered fully discharged and may not start the car.
Automakers strive for the standby current (called IOD or ignition off draw) to be 50 ma or less.
This allows about a month of standby time.
A draw of 6 ma or less is well within this spec, and is so low as to call the accuracy of the measurements into question. If it really is 6 ma this is not the source of the grand daughters no-start problem.
One possible diagnostic test is to remove the battery cable overnight. The next day, re-install the cable and again try to start the car. If it starts, the car has excessive standby loss. If it does not start, the battery is bad (perhaps with an internal short that doesn't show up on a simple load test).

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
