I don't think you are going to be able to tell that whole story all in one sentence!

To fit everything into one sentence I might say,
I lost my wallet because I was so afraid my child might be kidnapped that I was watching him instead of the wallet.
I lost my wallet because I was so afraid my child might be kidnapped that I was watching him instead of the wallet.

Afraid that my child might be kidnapped if I didn’t watch him intently, I completely lost track of my wallet which was stolen (lost) without my knowledge.
