"Te quiero" vs. "Te amo"

I was told that "Te amo" refers to "romantic/sexual" love and quiero to other kinds of love. However, the translator uses both to describe love for a grandchild. Does it matter, in reality, which word you use?

Another source:
In reality, it is a matter of regional preference, personal preference, etc. The main thing, as with any communications, is to make sure that your audience understands your intention. If you say that you love your friend and he/she gives you a strange look or odd reaction, then you'd better make sure that you further explain your intention.
