PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) —The Vancouver Police Department says a “high risk juvenile” reunited with family on Saturday, after a missing person alert was issued on Friday night.

The missing juvenile was identified as a 12-year-old Hispanic boy with hazel eyes and brown hair. He is about 5 feet tall and weighs 94 pounds.

VPD says the boy has a scar on his inner left or right wrist, as well as three distinct freckles on his upper right cheek.

Vancouver officials report that the boy was last seen walking northbound from 700 NE 106th Ave., at about 9:30 p.m. on Friday, June 9. He was wearing dark blue Adidas pants with a stripe along the side, a tie-dyed Adidas hoodie and black hi-top shoes.

The boy has multiple mental health and behavioral disorders and functions at an 8-to-10-year-old level, according to VPD. He takes various mental health medications, but officials say they aren’t life-threatening.

The juvenile is now reunited with his family.
