Well I wondered if it might be different since at home there is no attempt to advance to the next base... the protection ends when you attempt to advance...
I called the kid out at first and then second guessed myself into letting him be safe because he had been forced in. I have heard opinions on both sides, but nobody has said anything definitive yet to convince me what the correct call is. It is the attempt to advance to the next base that makes it kind of hairy...

Just a guess but:
RULE 7.10, Approved Ruling (2) ". . . When the ball is dead, no runner may return to touch a missed base or one he has left after he has advanced to and touched a base beyond the missed base." So, he would be safe, since there was no base... is the ball even dead? i'm just a basketball ref wandering over here!!

 And if it were he could return until he touched the next base past home.

A base award does not relieve the runner of the obligation to touch the base awarded and any other base(s) required.
With a runner on 3rd, BR choses to run to 2nd after a BB, but misses 1b. On proper appeal can the BR be called out for missing 1b? BR hits a single, and in making a wide turn at 1b draws a throw which goes OOB. BR is awarded two bases, and missed 2nd on his way to 3b. Can he be called out?

Anytime you miss a base, you are liable to be tagged out.
Why would it be any different than if the runner slid past home plate without touching it, and then was tagged out? On a base on balls, the ball remains alive. If this had been a dead-ball award, such as a HBP or the ball out of play, it would be different. The runner could then correct his mistake, and no play could be made on him. In this case, however, the runner is responsible for touching the bases in order, and if he misses one he can be called out on appeal.
