A private non-profit, Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.) embarked on the mission of rescuing children from human traffickers in 2013. The founder, Tim Ballard, has Utah ties, having graduated from Brigham Young University. Being aware of little negative about Ballard or O.U.R, then as an elected leader looking to end child trafficking, I would ask Ballard and O.U.R. if there is anything the state could do to support and help his cause.
The little concern I do have reflects from the entry on Tim Ballard in Wikipedia, which is tagged with the notice, "This article may have been created or edited in return for undisclosed payments, a violation of Wikipedia's terms of use. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies. (July 2020)"
Whether something was left out of the article or whether it was simply written in accordance with someone's wishes in exchange for money or something else of value, I do not know. Still, this does leave me with some concern. However, even if this is the case, it seems probable O.U.R. is a wonderful organization and I would support it until proven otherwise.
