This is serious, aggression and self-destructive talks are not to be taken lightly; actions must be taken now before is too late. This can of behavior is what send kids to drugs, suicide or crime.
Take him to counseling, ask help and orientation for the whole family. Do not waste time. Help him before he starts getting help from his "friends".

Is this a new issue? Are you seeing changes at home as well, or only at school? Try to talk to someone at the school to gather more information about the incidents in which he hit the other children. Maybe he is feeling vulnerable at school, because of a teacher or student he perceives as picking on him, and he is acting out in response. Please don't wait to see if the behavior resolves on its own. If he is talking about hurting himself, he is hurting pretty badly inside. It's important to figure out why so that you can start helping him. If you do not feel like you are getting information quickly, please involve a school counselor or someone else who specifically works with children. They can help you figure out what is going on, and help you come up with a plan to try to help your grandson feel better.

This could be an indication of something serious. I would look for other warning signs: has he become withdrawn at home, is he "cutting" or starving himself, other changes in behavior, etc. However, be careful not to jump to rash conclusions or action. You could scare him away. If you have custody of the child, talk to his teachers, guidance counselors, to see if they share your concern or if he is the target of bullying. Talk to his pediatrician immediately to seek guidance or a referral to a counselor. If not, encourage mom and dad to contact pediatrician. Best of luck!

Try to talk to him - ask him "why" questions. Let him know that you respect and understand him. If he doesn't open his heart to you - then no choice - take him to doctors.

Try to find out what he's so angry, fearful or depressed about. Is he the victim of bullying?

Just calm him down, and tell him everything is going to be fine.
