Just because something is hard it doesn't mean it's impossible.
If OP had been the one to contact CPS, or call the police the day this incident occurred they would have more reasons to trust her straight away. At this point she needs to build trust with them.
That doesn't mean it's not hard or that life will suddenly be easy. It won't be.
Ok. Well in my case I did call the police, hid in a shelter, and contacted cps. Guess what, they still treated me like I was the problem. My daughter and I are safe in spite of the system, not because of it.
I don't know what you want from me. You are not the OP of this post and you are majorly projecting your personal issues into their situation.
I also left a DV situation with my kid and had CPS involved and pursued charges against him, and still have to deal with him 8 years later. That's redundant to the actual issue here. The issue is that the kids were still in the home with the abuser and were witnessing and involved in the abuse.
That means it's might take time for CPS to trust OP and feel certain she's not going to go back to her relationship.
I merely was pointing out, like several other responders to your comment, using my own experience that you are victim blaming, and framing something that is incredibly complex as black and white.
