A name is written on a polished rock...a broken heart that the world forgot

There is not much that gets to you more, in the news business, than having to report on a death involving domestic violence, especially when children are involved.

Like with most stories in the business, it seems to come in waves.

For example, right now - we are covering the Lisa Greene trial in Cabarrus County. Now police say she intentionally set her home on fire last year, which resulted in the deaths of her two children. The story started out as a woman trying to save her children, and then came out as a woman who intentionally set the fire and left her children to die.

Obviously, I'm not saying she did, or didn't do it - but she is on trial right now. In fact, later today a judge will have to decide if a mistrial is warranted. Lisa's attorneys are saying they weren't given some of the documents in time.

In the last week, there have been several other stories about violence involving children - one directly, and one indirectly.

Here in Charlotte, police say Selina Shiuli stabbed her two daughters (age 6 and 1) and then stabbed herself. The 6-year-old died that night, the one year old is still going through surgeries. Shiuli was taken from the hospital and put into Mecklenburg County jail on Wednesday.

And then last night, police in Gaston County tell us a man shot his estranged wife, at point blank range, in front of their 9-year-old daughter. The woman and daughter were in the parking lot of the Bi-Lo. Police say the man then ran off and disappeared.

He was found a couple hours later, with an apparent gunshot wound to the head. Police think he shot himself. Now, this 9 year old girl, is left with no parents and if what police say is correct, will have to live the rest of her life with the memory of her father killing her mother.

It's just a heartbreaking story, and now that it looks like he killed himself, she'll never get the chance to ask him "Why?"

I love you too...but I don't like you all the time.

You can always count on kids to lay it out...nice and brutal.

This kid only likes his mom, when cookies are involved!
