MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee's Common Council has created a task force to address bullying. 

Local activist Tracey Dent was instrumental in the creation of the Bullying Task Force. He said today his own daughter has been a victim of bullying in school. 

"As a parent, you feel helpless. And it tore me apart. It tore my wife apart. And you know it's just that we have to do something because when I felt that way, I could just imagine other parents, how they feel," said Dent. 

Dent will be a member of the city's new task force.
