My 10 year old shoved the key (key fob) into the ignition backwards. I had a hard time getting it out but eventually got it out with some force. I re inserted the key the correct way and nothing comes on and won’t start. Any idea what I should do?

Sounds like the Wireless Ignition Node (Where the key goes) is damaged.

I included a lot of information about this but basically it will need to be replaced. Just be mindful that this requires programming if you plan to do it yourself.

Let me know if you have questions.
