The family of Timothy Robinson, a 21-year-old developmentally disabled man, is urgently seeking the public's help to locate him after he went missing from a hospital in Cedar Grove.
The family said Robinson, unable to find his way home, was last seen on December 17, 2024, at 1 p.m.
Robinson, born on April 14, 2003, is described as a Black male, standing 5'8" tall and weighing approximately 120 pounds.
His family said he has dark brown eyes and wears his hair in a low cut.
At the time of his disappearance, Robinson was dressed in a dark hoodie, blue sweats or pants, and black Echo Crocs. A distinctive tattoo reading "For those I love, I sacrifice" runs down the inside of his left arm.
His family, who resides in Newark, is deeply concerned as Timothy eloped from the hospital and may be cold and alone.
Due to his condition, Robinson may be disoriented and unable to seek help independently. 
Anyone with information about Timothy Robinson's whereabouts is urged to contact the Essex County Sheriff's Department at 973-621-4111 immediately.
The Robinson family is pleading with the community to remain vigilant and assist in bringing Timothy home safely.
