تكون في مكان مناسب إجراءات ضبط بلاغات الأحداث المدعين، وسماع الشهود من الأحداث, وما يتبعها من إجراءات تتطلب حضور الحدث -لأول مرة- (بوجود ولي أمره أو من يقوم مقامه). وتحدد اللائحة ما يلزم حيال ذلك بما يكفل عدم الحاجة إلى حضوره مستقبلاً لأي إجراء، ما لم تقتضِ الضرورة خلاف ذلك، وفقاً لما يقدره المحقق أو القاضي.
