Exactly - we know that Judith is quite skilled so slightly more believable (not much, but a little) but her son who was around RJ's age was killed by walkers, and she just leaves RJ behind... in the middle of a war... featuring a horde of walkers... it makes zero sense at all. She would be a constant ball of anxiety.

It's another change from the source material, too. I was reading yesterday that in the graphic novels, Michonne's "current storyline" for where the show is on the timeline, is that she's one of the group that goes along with Eugene to the Commonwealth. It's her (not Yumiko) who sees a picture of herself on the "missing people" board.
