More details to this question:
The cop says he's not pressing charges but had to write up a report of what happened and has to contact Child services. Do I need a lawyer or what?

The Police do not make the decision whether a case will be pursued in Court. Once that report is submitted and DHS is contacted, it is a matter for the prosecuting attorney and/or DHS to determine whether action will be taken.
It would be wise to hire an attorney.
