Psychiatrist STAT: Children or adults with thoughts of harming themselves or others require immediate evaluation by a qualified psychiatrist. Many Emergency Rooms and Mental Health Treatment centers can expedite this process.

Get help now..: Agree with advice to take your daughter to urgent care or ER if expressing thoughts of wanting to kill people. She needs a complete evaluation, preferably with a child psychiatrist, to find out diagnostically what else may going on. Dyslexia alone unlikely to cause this behavior/thinking. Also update the pediatrician, ask for guidance and referral to a mental health professional. Hope this helps.
