Social services may take my baby... need adviceho

I was in a horrific domestic violence situation. I was unable to leave with my newborn baby. My mom called social services to help me get out. I was able to get out ironically hours before they came, with the help of the police. I am now at my moms, in a different state. They have called me and told me they have to put some safety plan in place and my child will be put in foster care while the investigation happens which can take up to 90 days. I asked if my mom could keep her and they said they'd have to get it approved and couldn't guarantee anything. How can they do this!?!?! I'm so scared. Shes only a month old and I was the victim trying desperately to leave. 😭😭😭😭

To elaborate, he slashed my tires 8 times. Or would take my keys. Even my doctor knew I was trying to leave and had made a call on Wednesday to SS as well.

Edited to add: My mom called CPS in my favor. I'm not lying about anything. He threatened to kill me. Choked me 3 times. Took me to a swamp where he said he would drown me. She called and told them this and said I was trying to leave and she was worried about BOTH of our safety.

I guess I should also ask, since I'm in a different state now and safe, do I have to comply? I'm not answering any calls from them until I can get legal help/advice on Monday.

I did speak to the lady when she called, told her everything.. which I now regret. I am so upset. I wish I would have lied and said it wasnt true. My mom was trying to help me and now I'm scared to death I'm going to lose my daughter. We went to a different state. I am safe. In fact, my mom put me at a friends house that I didnt even know the address prior to coming here. I couldn't be any safer.

Also, the baby was never left. I left with the baby. He had gone to the store and I called the cops before he left the yard.

My mom has never even had a speeding ticket. Has never done drugs. She doesnt drink. I can stay at her friends if I cant "live" at the same place. I just cant imagine being away from my baby. I feel like this time is so crucial. We have such a messed up system.
