Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are not able to locate the Messages application on your daughters iPod touch (4th generation). The good news is that this application cannot be deleted or restricted. The first suggestion I have is to try and search for Messages using Spotlight to search the iPod touch for this application. If Messages is located in Spotlight, then it has probably been moved to a different page of applications or even possibly a folder of applications on the device. Searching all pages will help you locate it.
Search with Spotlight - Apple Support
Have a great day,
Joe

If you cannot find using Spotlight search, you can reset the apps layout back to factory settings:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
