UPDATE - Oregon Department Of Human Services Announces That Jaxon Palm And Corban Cody Have Been Found And Are No Longer Missing -04/02/21

(Salem) – The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS), Child Welfare Division, is thankful for the community support to find Jaxon Palm and Corban Cody.

Jaxon Palm, age 13, and Corban Cody, age 14, are children in foster care who went missing from Albany, Ore. on March 30, 2021. They were found on April 1, 2021.

A small number of children in foster care may be in significant danger when they run away or have gone missing. As DHS works to do everything it can to find these missing children and ensure their safety, media alerts will be issued in some circumstances when it is determined necessary. Sometimes, in these situations, a child may go missing repeatedly, resulting in more than one media alert for the same child.

Report child abuse to the Oregon Child Abuse Hotline by calling 1-855-503-SAFE (7233).  This toll-free number allows you to report abuse of any child or adult to the Oregon Department of Human Services, 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year.
