Philadelphia Police Searching For Missing Autistic Teenager

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) --  Police are looking for a teenage boy who suffers autism who's been missing since Thursday morning.

Police say 17-year-old Isaiah Harris was last seen at around 8:30 am Thursday at his home on the 2100 block of Taney Terrace.

Isaiah did attend class at Audenried Charter School located at 3301 Tasker Street, but never made it home after school.

Police describe Isaiah as 5'9" tall, with a thin build, brown eyes, and a short black Afro.

He was last seen wearing khaki pants, a white shirt and was carrying a black book bag.

Isaiah suffers from autism and police say it is possible he did not return home due to being disciplined earlier in the day at school.

Anyone with information on Isaiah's whereabouts, please contact South Detective Division at 215-686-3013 / 3014 or call 911.
