A.This matter is certainly an offence and that person will land up in big trouble if a complaint is made. I suggest that guy should apolozise and request father of that girl to forgive him.

A.Hey There,
Sending message is not a crime only If the messages are not abusive by words and must not have any sexual content.

A.Yes it falls under section 11 of POCSO Act. It comes under the definition of sexual harrasment as given in section 11 of the Act.
To avoid the situation you must talk with girls father and ask him not to file such a case. And also felt sorry on behalf of your boy. He committed a wrong act. He must not have done that.
