Can 丢 refer to people? I'm looking for the right word to use in the situation where you are looking after a child and they wander off. In English I would say "I lost my child!"

Is 丢 the proper word? Google wants to say "我失去了我的孩子", but my dictionary indicates that 失去 means more like bereavement.  Zhongwen.com  has "迷路" for 'to be lost' but I think that is what the child would say.
