The community continues to grieve after losing a five-year-old boy who was electrocuted on Thanksgiving.

Police say Izaya Baiz-Hickey crawled into a utility box outside his Mishawaka apartment complex.

While the utility box did not have a lock on it, city officials tell NewsCenter 16 they believe it was not left unlocked by them. They are still investigating, and have not ruled out the possibility that a metal scrapper could be responsible.

Nichole Baiz knows her son, and she believes he thought the utility box was some type of toy that he simply could not wait to experiment with.

It is this type of behavior she worried about all day, every day.

Doctors say many parents like Nicki Baiz struggle daily as they deal with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

"He was very headstrong and wanted to do what he wanted to do," Nicki told me. "At least now I know where he is, and he's safe and he's free to do whatever he wants to do."

Nicki says she wants parents to know about and understand the potential dangers of ADHD.

"It is something very real, something very different that is difficult to handle."

Doctors agree that kids with ADHD are not your typical active child.

"They just can't sit still," explains Dr. Robert Gorman. "They've got to keep moving."

Nicki says that is why the thought of Izaya crawling into a transformer box outside their home doesn't surprise her.

It simply breaks her heart.

"The ones where it really disrupts functioning, that's when it becomes an issue," says Dr. Gorman.

Izaya's death has really hit home at Community Pediatrics.

"It's hard. People who work in the office know the family and have seen the family," Dr. Gorman explains.

He wants people to know that there is help out there, but that it may take years to get a child on the right medication.

The first step involves looking for warning signs of ADHD, which include inattentiveness, over-activity, and impulsivity.

ADHD is diagnosed much more often in boys, and can be genetic. Additionally, it can cause depression, sleep deprivation, and difficulty establishing and maintaining friendships.

"It can have profound effects," Dr. Gorman admits.

Nicki prays that no other parent loses a child in the struggle with figuring out this disorder.

"I really feel that a lot of people need more education on how to deal with these kids," she says, sadly.

Nicki believes family support groups are also very important.

To help make sure this happens, she set up a fund in Izaya's name at Teacher's Credit Union. She says awareness, research, and counseling are key in helping families who struggle with ADHD.
