If the goal is to stamp out international child trafficking, they argue, the raids are of little value. [qh]

As OUR’s own footage demonstrates, the group’s strategy involves asking targets to bring it the youngest children possible in exchange for large amounts of cash—in other words, potentially provoking the very behavior the group is ostensibly attempting to curb.[qh]
正如“地下铁路行动”自己的视频所展示的那样，该组织的策略包括要求目标提供尽可能小的孩子，以换取大量现金——换句话说，这可能会激励该组织表面上试图遏制的行为。[qh]
In the United States, OUR does not conduct “missions”—it is careful to avoid coming off as a vigilante group—but it does donate money to police departments.[qh]

A more significant challenge to OUR’s reputation: The district attorney of Davis County, Utah, opened a criminal investigation into the organization last year; [qh]
“地下铁路行动”的声誉面临着一个更大的挑战:犹他州戴维斯县的地方检察官去年对该组织展开了刑事调查;[qh]
according to a source close to the investigation, one focus of the probe is on potentially misleading statements made in OUR fundraising materials, including exaggerations about the group’s involvement in arrests made by law enforcement.[qh]
