I think the lack of unity is the only problem but not the others.
#1 - there have been people who have told their stories and named names; however, the names are often bible names and even if they do have the actual legal names, some of these crimes were committed overseas and often the people are nowhere to be found, hidden somewhere in the F. That is one of the biggest and toughest problems.
It is like saying that the police should not ask for details of a crime because criminals hide and change their names and location. While this is true, why is it a problem in naming names when describing a situation? Why is it a problem is naming locations and time frames? Will it be difficult to follow up? Yes! But also creates a history on certain people, places and time frames.
#2 - The F. is a non-entity - in other words, they have cleverly covered their tracks by always moving around, pretending they are some other group and not connected to the infamous COG/FOL, ala Family Care Foundation. The practice of using different names and never admitting to being connected to the F. works in their favor. Who knows where their founders/leaders are? Where is their head office? You tell me that, then we'll have something to go on. If we try and pinpoint their office as Family Care Foundation, as an example, we have exmembers encouraging them to sue us.
I think there is a big jump between denounciong abuse and what you talk about. One issue is to denounce, to clean one's soul, to expose. Another issue is to identify current people who participate in the Family. Merging these two into one is somewhat confusing.
