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.
