The Death of Margaret Le Fay
Mr. Death:

Most mothers would die before they would abandon their child. Given that had she took him he would have never been a vampire I can see why people seem to think she was a sociopath.

And most mothers aren't fleeing for their lives from someone who could kill them with a single touch. And most mothers don't have children who are literally sharing their body with a demon (though I've met some toddlers who you could make an argument about...).
Suffice to say, Maggie Sr.'s parental situation was a little different than the norm.
Edit: Put it this way:
If you run from the White King, he's probably going to hunt you down and kill you.
If you steal the White King's son, he's definitely going to hunt you down and kill you, and will probably kill the kid, too.

It's extremely unlikely that Ebenezer would be watching them constantly. He has other things that he does, after all. If he kept an eye on them at all after meeting Malcolm -- he could have decided that even looking in on them was risky, if anyone found out he was doing so.

Yes. What we've learned about Maggie might be a Jedi Truth. That question doesn't say anything about Malcolm.
morriswalters:
On the issue of Malcolm I yield to you, barring new information Say hopefully a new book. And you give Eb a lot of room here
--- Quote ---But the overall gist is, "He's a hugely powerful wizard, there's not a lot he can't find out about an unpowered mortal if he wants to know something."

Considering his magical assets and potential money assets, given his age, I agree. Your response could be correct, I have no facts to dispute it. But I'mma gonna stick with the unpleasant smell view. My father called me bull headed. :)
Kindler:
I often wonder if it wasn't Lasciel's first contact that allowed Malcolm to reach out to Harry, but something else.
I'm listening to Dead Beat now, and I remember hearing a few things in Blood Rites that made me think it's possible that the common assumption about the reason Malcolm was allowed to speak to Harry was in response to something else. I won't state anything until I reach that point in the story again, I'm just leaving this post as a mental bookmark for myself.
Mr. Death:
I always figured the fact that the veil between the living and the dead was all kinds of buggered up during Dead Beat probably had at least something to do with it.
