Narrative:

I had an air carrier cleared for take off with another on final; the departure was slow to roll and I had to send arrival around. I had a crowd gathered around me including the supervisor. There was a heavy mid field and airborne off the parallel runway. There were a bunch of suggestions being thrown on what to do; I thought I was told to turn go around so I gave him a vector which I thought would keep him out of the wake of the heavy which was supposed to be turning to 240 but the go around snapped it over and wake separation was lost. Things got worse with me trying to get visual with the heavy and asking if the go around aircraft could maintain terrain separation. I was then told to turn the go around aircraft to a 340 by my supervisor which probably took him through the wake again.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: Tower Controller described a go around event when a departure was slow to roll and then heavy separation was compromised with traffic departing from a parallel runway. Allegedly supervisory directions resulted in the go around aircraft flying through the wake a second time.
