I continue to maintain that this is not STO because it is not seeing the killer (other) as self. "for the sake of" is a distortion of the mother that she is holding onto a part of the illusion, and she does not want to let go, therefore she is serving her self interest.
It may very well turn out to be a positive vibration after the event, but there is no way we could know that because it could go either way. The choice is in the now. "stopping the killer", in the now, is a polarization toward the negative.
