Child messages are displayed in Thread View under the parent post to which they are associated (as per current state). Child messages are sorted chronologically within the thread (most recent at the bottom).
Viewing a thread
Clicking Tapping on the entire parent post area (visually indicated by the tap state) opens up the post in the Thread View - same functionality as current experience.

This is also a button to view the replies. Clicking Tapping this opens up the thread in the RHS
Follow/Following button

...
If a thread is not yet followed, a ‘Follow’ button appears in the header. Clicking Tapping this will follow the thread and add it to the Global Threads view.
If a thread is already followed, a ‘Following’ indicator appears in the RHS header. Clicking Tapping this will unfollow the thread

When a thread is displayed in search results, the title ‘Thread in {Channel Name}’ displays above the result (as in current experience). If a user clicks taps on a search result to a child post it would open the Single Thread View. As in the current experience, a ‘back’ chevron in the header returns to search results.
...
If a post contains a permalink to another child post, clicking tapping on the permalink would load the linked-to thread in the Single Thread view with the linked post highlighted. As in the current experience, the ‘back’ chevron in the header to return the user to the previous child post/thread.
...
When a thread is ‘Followed’ it is added to the global ‘Threads’ view
When a thread is ‘Unfollowed’ it is removed from the global ‘Threads’ view
How threads are followed:
If the original parent post was created by you, the thread is automatically followed
If you reply to a thread, it is automatically followed
If you are mentioned in a thread, that thread is automatically followed
If you Unfollow a thread, but then are mentioned, the thread is now automatically followed again
Marking as unread on a post within a thread will automatically follow that thread if it’s not already followed
If I explicitly click tap ‘Follow’ on a thread/message
Followed threads do not appear in Global Threads until there has been a reply
Clicking Tapping the ‘Following’ button or ‘Unfollow’ menu item will remove the thread from the global ‘Threads’ view
