Employers do not have to issue 1099s for less than $600. But if your employer provides you with a 1099 of any amount, you must file a return. The reason is that those wages have not been taxed for social security (self-employment) tax.

Self-employment tax is a mandatory tax that the Social Security Administration has jurisdiction over and that is governed by the IRS. You need to remember that when paying self-employment tax you are basically paying yourself since the monies are put into your account with Social Security.

If Minor child receives 1099 income does he have to file tax return?

Presuming you claim him as a dependent, his income becomes yours. What the rules try to make sure that a parent can't have some income go to his children, who would have a much lower tax rate than the parent. It must be taxed at the parents rate. See the question "How much income do you have to earn before you file income tax?" which I'll try and link below too for more.
