Some people don't have the power to leave an abusive situation (children).

Source: spent my entire childhood in a domestic abuse and domestic violence situation.

Also abusers often work very hard to make it difficult for the abused to leave: make them quit their job, cut off their outside social ties, make them pregnant against their will, etc.

Victim shaming isn't acceptable. Sorry. You're blaming the person being abused for not leaving. There's a MULTITUDE of reasons (as other comments have already stated) that people aren't enabled to get out of an abusive relationship.

True, but it’s another “attack vector”, and more nefarious in some ways because it can be couched as technical wherewithal.
