to avoid abduction. She gives them cartoon books she wrote on staying safe. "She does it all on a shoestring," said John Rondo, a supermarket employee and one of a half-dozen Voice for the Children volunteers. "She knows her stuff, and she does not give up." 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 The sister-in-law of Malky's 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. Bolton Sings Verdi Michael Bolton's gone opera.

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. Her own search for her missing son took a promising turn a month ago. 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 said.

"That was the cause-of-action vehicle we could use to get discovery and get depositions."

She has spent the past 24 years stuffing the binder with photographs, letters to congressmen, queries to government agencies and newspaper clippings. "Woman Searches for Son Missing 13 Years," the headline to a yellowed article reads.

"Woman Searches for Son Missing 14 Years," says the story under the next plastic page. And so the next says 15 Years" and the next 16 Years," the same small-town New Jersey newspaper annually yielding to Malky's prodding to tell her story. The scrapbook is fat with the record of her search. "You have to document all you've done," she said. "When you finally find your children, the first problem is that they never believe you were looking for them.

They can't understand why you couldn't possibly find them. I have that covered. I have the scrapbook." In 1974, Malky went into the hospital for some testing. When she came out, she found that her ex-husband had taken their 7-year-old son, David. The last time she saw him was as his father was driving him away on a busy Manhattan street.

She said she ran through the traffic, pounded the window and tried to break the 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 organization. "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 won't 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 private investigators she considers reliable. She believes the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, founded by John Walsh, devotes most of its resources to finding children kidnapped by strangers, not abductions within families. "I don't fault the national center 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." According to records filed with the state's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Malky took no salary last year as president of Voice for the Children. The group listed total revenues of $5,615 and expenses of $5,528, with $860 going toward administration.

Fund raising brought in $2,771. And $1,897 was spent in program services. Malky sets up a table at shopping malls. She has a talking toy robot that tells children how REAMU us noT ik Gallery 6- The Source For Barbie, Bears Dolls 561-640-9575 UptownDownlown Mall. Just East of West Palm Beach.
