Bring your daughter to work day

It’s a nice institution. A cute playful gesture where daughters (or sons) get to see what their fathers (or mothers) do for a living and hang out in the “working world”.
I’m not sure that the creators of this Hallmark celebration had this in mind, though.
Capt. Daniel McIntyre supervised police at the [fatal accident] scene for more than an hour after the Aug. 23 accident, then went home and returned with his daughter.
He has said that he wanted the girl to see the scene because she was about to get her driver’s license, and he wanted her to see the dangers of speeding.
An internal report conclud[ed] that McIntyre did nothing wrong.
The parents of the deceased are naturally outraged. On one hand, I can see their point of view. One could perceive it as making the death of their children a spectacle. On the other hand, maybe it is good parenting from the cop. Nothing like a gruesome accident scene to scare the living daylights out of a soon-to-be speeding teen.

Hard to quibble with the parents here, given their loss, but I don’t see how this really is making a spectacle of their loved one’s loss. I hope that if I am ever in such a situation, I’d be thankful for any efforts made on my loved one’s behalf.
