Can't say. Whose money was in the account? If it was your money and it was a custodial account the custodian may have had a right to take funds out. But not overdraw, and that would be the custodian's responsibility to you and the bank. But there should be no reason if you were a minor and this was a custodial account that any bank should deny you the ability to open your own account.
