At the very least it's "run far, far away and make sure they don't find you," in the minds of people in this situation and that can be very very hard to do.

One more thing on this - If "he/she threatened to kill them if they left...threatened to harm any children, or any family..." it is especially important that the abusee leaves. Are you suggesting they should stay? Sure a person might need help getting away from their abuser and I'm glad that help is available, but for you to suggest leaving is not ultimately the best thing to do is bizarre.
