Police search for boy allegedly taken by father Bradley McGettigan, 15, last spoke to his mother on December 9. It is believed his father may be bringing him to Sydney from Melbourne. The Family Court has taken the unusual step of issuing a public alert for a 15-year-old boy allegedly taken by his father against court orders. Bradley McGettigan is believed to be with his father, Michael McGettigan, who was living in the western suburbs of Melbourne but may be travelling to Sydney, a spokeswoman for the court said. Bradley's parents have been involved in family law proceedings and the Federal Circuit Court has ordered that Bradley reside with his mother. There are no orders that allow for his father to spend time with him. Bradley's mother, Samantha McGettigan, is appealing to the public for help, asking anyone who has information on the whereabouts of Bradley or Mr McGettigan to contact Crimestoppers. She last spoke to her son by telephone on December 9. On Christmas Eve, the Federal Circuit Court issued a publication order allowing certain details of the matter to be published in the hope that Bradley could be found and returned safely to his mother. Bradley is about 170 centimetres tall, with short blond hair, blue eyes and fair skin. He weighs about 75 kilograms. Mr McGettigan is aged 54 and is about 170 centimetres tall with a solid build. He has grey/blond hair and blue eyes. They may be travelling in a 2005 black SS Commodore or a green Nissan Pulsar.
