A child repeating word for word past abuse?

There is a child at the preschool I work at that we know has issues and we are trying to help get him outside help. He was physically abused by his father and is violent, towards teachers and other children. He has extreme reactions to simple requests he does not want to do, screams runs, tries to hit, throws objects at teachers heads.
To me, he seems emotionally disturbed. But he could also have other issues {sensory,ADD} plus the past abuse issue.
What would the child repeating verbally past abusive situations be called or be a symptom of? He will repeat what his father said to him and them his response, in different voices. He will do this for up to three different people, including pretending to be his mother. For example, he was pretending to cry once, then said "boy leave your mother alone she got what she deserved" and then said pretended to cry and said "but I want to help her."
