Red flag: I'm concerned. Your daughter needs to promptly see a pediatric psychologist with experience dealing with extreme behavioral issues. Please ask your pediatrian for a referral, do this soon so she can get the help she needs and you can understand how to deal with this.

Ask your school district's Child Find Team to assess her development & check for autistic behaviors. Stop any/all verbal & physical aggression at home. BPD inheritance risk is ~ 20%.
