The term “Ward of the Court” is one which sounds archaic. In a way, it is. The origins stem from feudalism in the Middle Ages in England when the Crown was given rights to exercise powers and duties over orphaned children whose father owned land. Wardship jurisdiction came about because it is acknowledged that children are especially vulnerable.
