According to Miami-Dade Police, Benjamin Camji-Ortega was last seen on the doorstep of his home near Northwest 132nd Court and 10th Street, Saturday.

Detectives said the teen is wheelchair-bound and has cerebral palsy.

He stands 5 feet, 2 inches tall, weighs around 100 pounds, and has dark brown hair and green eyes.

Camji-Ortega was last seen wearing jeans and a dark-colored T-shirt.

Although he is quadriplegic, his mother said he is currently without his wheelchair, which is another reason they are worried.
