  Case: Outrage
A student is very quick to get angry and overreact. This students get extremely mad over very trivial situations and has the potential to cause harm. The parent's suggest it's the other students in the class and not their child. How can the teacher help this student receive the help they need and keep other students safe?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
There are a couple of ways to approach this problem. First and foremost: Log everything! Write down the behaviors, when and how they occur. Then, call for a parent conference and show them the logs you have written to give them a better understanding of the behavior. I would also definitely use proximity control. Seat this student near you, and if possible, away from others. Have him be your "teacher helper". If the behavior is that bad where you fear for the safety of the students, submit that same log to the IEP department, and bring the student up for review. And as mentioned by others, a behavior plan is a must. Along with positive praise/rewards when he keeps his behavior in check.
