If you have been removed from your parents by Child Protective Services, and placed into foster care, then you are a ward of the state. Also, if the child is removed from the parent's custody and placed in juvenile detention, then the child is a ward of the state.
You can also be a ward of the state in some situations due to mental health issues, but since you put this under children and the law, I'm assuming you are asking about how a child is a ward of the state.

To make a child a ward of the state in Oregon, a court would generally need to determine that the child is at risk and in need of protection or services. This would involve a legal process wherein the court would place the child in the custody of the state, typically through the Department of Human Services or Child Welfare.
