How about you change the word to "killed"? It actually helps your sentence sound better...not so heavy. Something about the contraction doesn't work with a higher verb form. And try changing kids to "children" if you want to keep slain.
"The children hid from the robber to avoid being killed (or slain - you choose)."

Slain is past tense. Slay is present.
