How did you feel about Clementine always running off?
Crawling under the door, Walking the few blocks to the waterfront ALONE, and going to the backyard. A lot of people thought this was cute but it wouldn't of been cute if you found her torn open by a walker. Episode 3 I said wait for me before opening doors I got kinda scared / mad when she went under the doggie door. What if she walked to the Boats at the wrong time and got caught off by those 20 walkers? I'm glad she found a boat but what if something like we saw that was in the attic was there instead? Yeah shes helpful but we're a team and some cooperation would be nice. The only reason I brought her to Crawford was because I couldn't trust her alone anymore.

That seemed a bit unconsistent to me, but I am sure it is an indication she is growing up faster than expected in this no-mercy world.
People need to stop thinking about the children as children it's the end of the world and they need to start learning how to survive.
Edit
Her following to the docks though very stupid.
Good point.
Nobody seems to give a damn about Clementine.
She obviously left the house without anyone noticing. Christa is too obsessed with Omid, Ben had nothing to do but was obviously doing something else (what?) while she managed to avoid detection and leave.
Lee should have punched Ben in the face for not caring about Clementine.
Ben is a coward, and I would never trust him to protect someone I love after seeing what he did...
Yet, I couldn't drop him...
I did feel bad for hurting her feelings but at the same time, her recklessness could get her killed, so I felt justified in being angry with her. I dont want to coddle her and think every crazy thing she does is cute. I needed her to understand that she cant just do stuff like that without telling people. Not that the lesson sunk in. She followed us to the docks alone. Yeah, she saved my life, but still.
She was taken at the end of episode 4 because Lee wasn't taking her problems seriously. There was plenty of warning before it happened. You're right that Lee couldn't trust Clem anymore to do what he said, but that's because Lee wasn't cooperating with her, just telling her what to do and ignoring her feelings.
Being a parental figure with zombies would be very difficult. Kids want to assert themselves, want to rebel when they aren't getting their way. That can get them killed. Lee needed to help Clem search for her parents, even if it was futile, instead of telling her over and over again that the goal was to find a boat and leave all hope of finding her parents behind.
