“Riley’s above and beyond with her intelligence,” Danielle toldPeopleon September 9.

“Knowing where she’s at right now, this was our decision based on her.

Of course we looked at the family and how this change affects everyone else.”

It’s just crazy that somebody out there is criticizing us about something they have no idea about.”
