I don't think it will, but I wanted to be sure:
When my daughter was 3 or 4 months old, her father had court ordered visitation, so I had to let him take her. He wound up leaving her unattended in a bar because he got drunk and claims to have forgotten her there. She was picked up by the police and when they got into contact with me, I had to deal with social services for the next few weeks (which I totally understood- they were out for my daughter's best interest and needed to be sure that I was more responsible than he was).
My daughter is now about to start school next year and I got the information packet yesterday. I would like to sign up as the homeroom mother 2 days a week, but they will check my record beforehand for any issues involving child abuse or neglect in the past. Will this incident with social services be on there?

There will be a record of the event at the police department, but for internal information only. This event, as you described it, will not appear on a background check.

It depends where the look for their background checks. If they look through the state and social services, then yes, it will be there, but you have nothing to worry about. It was her father, and you tried to prevent it by not letting her go. It will have all of this in the papers and it will reflect on him, not you.

Checks will be made for the custody of the child and prove that you are negligent in the caring of the child but it was her father who was not able to perform his duties properly.

No conviction, no substantiated claim of abuse or neglect?
No problem.

Possibly, but if it as you have said, your husband's being at fault, it will be OK.

No you have no criminal record. Go for it.

You weren't arrested and charged so no, it shouldn't be.
