I'm afraid shes neglecting that kitten, the funny thing is the mother cat is dark color tabby, and boo the mother is the same color, the one she moved is orange. Is that why ?
Some people don't know this, but the kittens and puppies in litters often have different fathers. I have never known that to disrupt the mothering instinct, I suppose it could be possible...more than likely, the mother is taking some issue with the kitten regarding scent or behavior. Find a way to observe the mother and kittens in a non-interactive, non-disturbing way. Look for any signs of ill-treatment or snubbing of that particular kitten. On another note, many times a mother will move her kittens for safety precautions or for nervous reasons, so it may just happen to be that kitten got moved, then she got sidetracked. Cats can be odd like that.

Like the other answer says, its possible she forgot about it. If its a runt however, she may be neglecting it. Watch that she's feeding it as often as the others, if not put her onto feed yourself.

This is normal for a mother cat to hide her babies in different rooms, just don't touch them.
