LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A judge unsealed grand jury transcripts and audio Monday in the case of a Lancaster boy who was allegedly abused and murdered by his mother and her boyfriend.
The call was made by Heather Barron, the mother of 10-year-old Anthony Avalos. She made it the day before her son died in June.

In an interview with detectives, Leiva described beating Avalos with a belt, pushing him and holding him down on the carpet. At one point, he even said everything was his fault.
