Yes Yes they certainly can. You can't be too mature if you would rather let the California courts take over your life and decide what to do with you. How hard can it be with some rules you have to follow around your parent's home! You need to have a different slant on your life and realize that YOU DO NOT OWN THAT HOME YOU LIVE IN, but your parents do! Family is about teamwork and if you can't follow a few rules (the world is just full of them so get use to it) then you won't have much success at holding down a job or even having a strong personal relationship with anyone. Even at 16 you should be doing things like taking out the garbage, mowing the lawn, helping around the house and at least keeping your room clean. Most children do and although they do it begrudgingly they are thankful later because it prepares them for living on their own. You could even hold down a part-time job. Your parents don't give you rules to make your life unhappy. They love you and they care what happens to you. You may think you have all the answers at 16, but trust me, you don't! If you hang out with a wrong crowd, if you do drugs (even smoke marijuana or drink too much) then it's up to the parents to lay the law down. Parents who do this really do love their kids and there are many kids out there that would give anything to have a supportive family. You've got a choice here ... California courts or, living under a few rules in your parents home. If you want to be treated as a mature 16 year old then act like it and prove it to your parents. With maturity comes responsibility and as your parents see you mature they'll give you more freedom. Now how simple is that! * The minor would have to be deemed incorrigible by the court (not by the parents) before he or she would be remanded into state custody. Incorrigible does not mean not doing one's chores, being disrespectful and so forth. In the legal sense it means, truancy, problems with law enforcement, a history of being a runaway, physical violence perpetrated against family members or others, etc.

If it is not your family doctor, then yes. Most of the time it depends on what is wrong with you. For instance if you go to the hospital with a broken bone, they can't refuse to treat you.

Why would a christian pastor refuse to baptize someone?
It depends on the Christian pastor. Some refuse to baptize if the person and their family are not members of that specific church. Some refuse because the person is not a member of that denomination or sect. And some, especially those from conservative denominations, refuse if the parents are gay, or if the parents are heterosexual but not married to each other. But it's difficult to generalize, and different faiths have different rules. To avoid misunderstandings, ask the pastor what the policy is at that church, and if you think you will be denied, you can always seek out other pastors (since not all pastors follow the same policies).

How can an employee refuse to follow orders even when their boss is the Chief Executive officer or Chief financial officer of the firm?
Unless the orders are unlawful, and most often they are not, it is not a good idea to refuse to follow orders from a boss, no matter what the position of the boss is in the company. It's called insubordination and can result in the employee being fired. If; however, you have reasons for not wanting to follow the orders that are valid to you, you could explain them to your boss and ask the boss to give the task to someone else. It would be up to the boss whether to do that, though. If you decide to outright refuse to follow your boss's orders, be prepared to find another job. Chances are high that you will need one.
