3 years ago I was reported to the department of child services (DCSF). I was not arrested or had a court hearing or a fine. I did have to go to their offices to be interview and was told to complete parenting classes. That was the end of that. No court hearing, did not see a judge, was not arrested did not have to pay any type of fine. Only thing I had to do was to go to their offices and was interview by one of their employees for about 15min and he told me to complete a course on parenting classes.
I have the following questions. Does that disqualifies me from becoming a US Citizen? Since there was no arrested or a court hearing do I have to write it down on my N-400 application? Will it show on my criminal record? Do I have to tell the USCIS officer? Please help me with advise.
Thank you.
 
Since there is no charge on you, you need not worry about it. It will in no way affect your naturalization process. All that you need to do is list it truthfully on your citizenship application ( N-400). If the immigration officer raises questions about it during any stage of the naturalization process, you can very well provide proof ( if asked). It is always safe for you to be open about it.

There is no need to list this incident on N-400 since there was no arrest, charge or citation involved. In fact, there is not even any question or item on N-400 under which the OP's situation falls. In particular, none of the questions in part 10D of N-400 require a "yes" answer in this case.
 
You should be fine. since there was no arrest, no need to mention it. N-400 app asks for arrests and conviction. you have non of those.
