i was at the mall with mydaughter in the summer of 2010, i left her at the playground for a minute and ran to macys to shop for a while, she then went upstairs to the security guard when she could not see me. the security guard called the police and when i got there the police had not arrived yet. i apologized for what happened and took my daughter away, while exiting the mall i heard an officer yell at me to stop. i stopped and he approached me along with the mall security guard. he questioned me and then asked for my driver license....i gave it to him and he said i will be hearing from the state. two weeks later i got a letter from the court house , i was being charged with misdeamenor, endangering the welfare of a child. i was summons to the police station to get fingerprinted before my hearing in august of 2010. i also got a public defender. at court they changed my offense to a summary and i paid a fine. my charge read non traffic, summary offense, disorderly conduct/hazardous physi off. my fear and concern is im applying for my citizenship this march, i want to know if this summary offense will prohibit me from getting my USA citizenship??? that way i wont apply and pay the fee knowing it would.....i do look forward to hearing from you.
thank u so much
