shamefully

In disgraceful manner

Shamefully describes doing something in a way that deserves shame or disgrace: He shamefully abandoned his family.

It can also mean to a shameful degree, emphasizing how bad something is: The town's roads are shamefully neglected.

The second sense often expresses indignation about conditions that ought to embarrass those responsible.
