The criteria for abandonment is somewhat subjective and is a judgement call on the part of the umpire.

Is the runner still attempting to run the bases?

If the answer is no, then it's probably abandonment.

If, in the umpire's opinion, the wandering runner is heading out to his position in left field, I do not think it is relevant that he "passed" 2nd base and I think you can argue that he did not miss it, rather, he never attempted to obtain the base in the first place.
