UThis is child sexual abuse and grooming. The ADULT MAN (not boy) has to be charged under POCSO. Go to the police and report him. A child can’t be in a relationship with a grown man. And please don’t blame your niece at all. She needs support not guilt.UNAL. She probably deleted the entire conversation from her phone so that her family doesn’t see it – which is important for her safety. But your chats won’t go from your phone unless you delete it with the “delete for everyone” option. I think you’re overthinking that part. I suggest you take screenshots, and if you have chat backups then get the backup (with the full conversation) and save it somewhere safe. This is if things escalate in future and either you or she needs evidence. Don’t delete from your end I would suggest – her father can’t see your phone so he can’t hurt you.
It does sound weird that he dropped her off at your place, but she may have lied that you’re studying/working together in order to get away from the house and he dropped her personally to make sure she didn’t go to the police etc.
My suggestion is that you speak to her properly about what’s happening the next time you meet her privately, and keep your chats with her safe – that is, if someone in her family sees them, she shouldn’t get into trouble. Just let her know you’re available for her in case she needs to reach out, without actually saying that – may be random reels or random messages that are common for two friends to share without raising any concerns.
Abusers wouldn’t usually want to let the world know what they’re doing, so the threat is for her I think, I doubt they’ll want anything to do with you. Your friend on the other hand needs you – see how you can help her without triggering more abuse from the family.
