I don't want it happen again. vs I don't want it to happen again.

The correct phrase that's needed here is "I don't want it to happen again." The infinitive form of the verb "to happen" should be used after the verb "want." The phrase is commonly used in English to express the desire to prevent something from occurring in the future.
