Electrical problem V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 89000 miles

My 2 year old grandson was allowed (by his parents)to play in my Lexus. Since this happening, the smart key system doesn't work. I've changed the batteries on the remotes and they both work. The car starts when a key type device is used.

Is there a way my grandchild could have shut off the smart key system and can I turn it back on?

Some carts don't have the switch, it should be on the lower panel under the steering column
