ex-husband was subpoenaed. She admitted that she had cared for the boy for many years in Manhattan, and that his name had been changed from David Shipenburg to David Kaplan. Malky's private investigator, the 10th one she has used through the years, located a man by that name living outside Albany, N.Y. He was the right age, 31, and was born on the right day. She flew to New York and found the man.

"I took one look at him and knew it wasn't my son," she said. "He had dark hair, olive skin and brown eyes. My David had blue eyes and light complexion." Malky saved the plane ticket and stuck it in her scrapbook. What you have to realize is that you will get no help in a parental abduction.

Bert Shapero, a West Palm Beach attorney, devised a method for coaxing testimony from those who might have information on parental abductions in Malky's case, relatives of her ex-husband. "We started a complaint based on intentional infliction of emotional distress," Shapero fiooming to North available, through Portnef, 2 RJ! IT uwuljlsunj SEARCH From IB glass. "He hit the gas, took off, and I have been searching for my son ever since," she said.

Malky soon found herself working as an activist for abducted children. Trained as an actress and model, she used cable-access television in New Jersey to produce public service spots that put faces of missing kids on the air. She enlisted an ally in the state legislature in Tom Gagliano, a senator who helped her pass bills that established a clearinghouse for abduction cases and rewrote custody laws. Ten years ago, she moved to Palm Beach County and founded Voice for the Children a not-for-profit or- ganization. "What you have to realize is that you will get no help in a parental abduction," she said.

'The police won't help you. The courts help you. The FBI won't help you. If you're going to get your child back, you're going to have to do it yourself." Malky refers parents to pri-'. vate investigators she considers reliable.

She believes the Nation-al Center for Missing and Exploited Children, founded by John Walsh, devotes most of its resources to finding children kidnapped by strangers, not ab- ductions within families. "I don't fault the national cen-: ter for what they do," she said, "they distribute pictures. But John Walsh is not going to go out and get a child back from a parent who has taken him away." Nancy McBride, director of the national center's Lake Park office, said her group does not work with Malky or her Voice for the Children. "We have no rela- tionship," McBride said. "I don't know her, really.

The groups we work with are those we know through the Justice Depart-; ment."

The group listed total revenues of $5,615 and expenses of $5,528, with $860 going toward I administration. Fund raising brought in $2,771. And $1,897 was spent in program services. Malky sets up a table at I shopping malls.

She has a talking toy robot that tells children how to avoid abduction. She gives them cartoon books she wrote on staying safe. "She does it all on a string," said John Rondo, a su- permarket employee and one of a half-dozen Voice for the Children volunteers. "She knows her stuff, and she does not give The Barbara Kurth-Stephen Fagan abduction case in Palm Beach has caused Malky's phone to ring as it has not in the recent past. Geraldo Rivera called, and she taped a show on missing children that is scheduled to be broadcast in mid-August.

"What happened with Fagan has opened a lot of doors for me," she said. "I've finally got a voice. This is the biggest break I've ever had. Everybody is focusing on the issue now." Last weekend, she spoke at the second Parental Abduction Convention in Washington and participated in a candlelight vigil in front of the White House.
