Urgent SOS: Defense Attorneys Needed for Landmark Parental Rights Case Involving Gadolinium Poisoning

In what legal scholar and author Richard Cornforth has described as a landmark parental rights case, a Nevada State District Court is at the center of an extraordinary battle over sacred, God-given rights. This is not a theoretical dispute but a real, ongoing crisis involving our son, Yichen Liu (Eason), who was poisoned by Bayer Pharma’s Gadavist, a gadolinium-based contrast agent administered at UMC Children’s Hospital in Las Vegas without my consent on January 26, 2019.

Gadavist and other gadolinium-based MRI contrast agents carry the FDA’s most stringent “black box” warning, indicating life-threatening risks, including gadolinium retention and deposition disease. Yet hospital records reflect no fewer than four separate entries explicitly noting that I did not consent to the administration of MRI contrast dye. This was not only negligent, but reckless, and it permanently injured our child.

Our lawful efforts to pursue non-medical remedial care authorized under NRS 200.5085 have been twisted into felony child abuse charges. Instead of holding the hospital and its staff accountable for iatrogenic gadolinium poisoning, the State of Nevada, aided by law enforcement, has mounted what can only be described as a massive frame-up designed to destroy two innocent parents while covering up medical negligence.

Systemic Corruption: From Hospital to Police to Prosecutors

This case is not simply about prosecutorial overreach, it is about systemic corruption spanning UMC Children’s Hospital, law enforcement, and the District Attorney’s office.

In 2019, after our son was injured by gadolinium poisoning, Detective Christopher Slack of the Boulder City Police Department falsely accused us of child neglect and abuse. He obtained the hospital’s surveillance video but ignored its contents; video that clearly shows me carrying my broken boy out of the hospital.

He also ignored hospital records showing our lack of consent for a gadolinium-based MRI, and he did nothing to investigate the fact that the attending discharge doctor, Dr. Vonita Chawla, and the senior attestation doctor, Dr. Abid Rodriguez Solares, lied on the discharge report. That report falsely claimed our son was released in “good condition,” “alert in no distress,” and “moving all four limbs”, statements that were self-evidently untrue to anyone with functioning eyesight or a functioning brain.

Detective Slack’s failure to conduct anything remotely resembling a proper investigation allowed these lies to stand, creating the false narrative that led to CPS action, felony charges, and years of legal trauma.

A Timeline of Judicial Misconduct and Fraud

On September 5, 2025, a closed evidentiary hearing was held. At that hearing, our expert witness, Dr. Richard Semelka, the world’s leading authority on gadolinium deposition disease, testified on our behalf against the prosecution’s MRI-industry-aligned witness, Dr. Robert McDonald of the Mayo Clinic. The judge denied the prosecutor’s motion to strike Dr. Semelka, carefully noting that the Hallmark v. Eldridge criteria were satisfied.

However, when the prosecutor, Dena Rinetti, jumped up and demanded a stay of our September 16, 2025 trial, she was granted one, even though NRS 177.015 does not permit the State to seek a stay or an appeal in these circumstances. Neither of our court-appointed attorneys objected, leaving the door wide open to an unlawful delay.

Three days later, on September 8, 2025, the misconduct escalated. Rinetti fraudulently told the court that my wife and I had violated a “no-contact order”, an order which does not exist. Our defense counsel are on the record admitting they could find no such order. The only document Rinetti cited was a 2019 summons with a handwritten note saying “no contact with named victim.” Even if that had been a real order, its force would have expired years earlier under NRS 178.4845(4).

All officers of the court, the judge, the prosecutor, and defense counsel, are deemed to know the law and have no excuse for ignoring it. Yet, at our expense, they stood by while we were branded fugitives for nine days, subject to public shame and risk of arrest, all on the basis of brazen fraud upon the court.

To protect our son from being kidnapped by Arkansas CPS, we put him on a one-way flight to China on the morning of September 9, 2025. He is now nearly fifteen, living overseas with worsening, recurring iatrogenic gadolinium induced seizures and deprived of parental care by a procedurally defective, secret (sealed) no-contact order issued on September 18, 2025, an order we were never allowed to contest, and which violates both statutory and constitutional law.

On September 26, 2025, the lawlessness escalated when my wife and I were unlawfully detained for over three hours by the Saline County Sheriff’s Office in Arkansas. Two deputy patrol officers claimed there were still active bench warrants, despite the fact that those warrants had been quashed on September 17, 2025, by the Nevada judge’s law clerk and updated in the national NCIC database. Since Arkansas’s ACIC database is directly linked to NCIC, this raises serious questions about potential foul play. We were handcuffed behind our backs in extreme pain, despite having no criminal record, being presumed innocent, and my status as an honorably discharged veteran.

A Call to Attorneys with Courage

We are seeking one or more defense attorneys willing to stand up to this judicial tyranny. Preferably, this will be an attorney with constitutional law or parental rights experience who is willing to work pro bono and, if outside Nevada, on a pro hac vice basis. This is your opportunity to make a genuine difference in the world and set national precedent in defense of parental rights, medical truth, and constitutional justice.

This case has already been called a landmark by Richard Cornforth because it goes to the heart of sacred rights, God-given, not man-made, that have been trampled by a system protecting its own at the expense of innocent families.
