The content of your message is contained in the Content parameter of your request as a stringified JSON object.
Use the appropriate Call SID in the path of your POST request. Use the parent Call SID if you wish to send a message to parent Call leg. Use the child Call SID if you wish to send a message to the child Call leg.
