He allegedly left his disabled son in the bathtub for almost two months. Yes you read that right. He was covered in feces, while his condition deteriorated horrifically, and smelled like rotting meat. 52-year-old Melvin Shimkus was the primary caregiver for his 31-year-old son, Hunter Shimkus, who suffers from a nerve disease that left him unable to walk and with severely limited hand use. On May 16, 2026, police and paramedics were called to the family home in Mesa, Arizona, after Hunter’s leg became visibly deformed. Despite the clear medical emergency, Hunter refused hospitalization as an adult, and authorities left without forcing intervention or follow-up. Immediately after the May 16th call, Hunter Shimkus was allegedly left in a bathtub at the home. Reports and family statements indicate he remained there for approximately seven weeks. Shimkus later claimed he only placed him in the tub about a week before discovery, but the uncle disputed this timeline, and police reports support the longer period. By late June 2026, the damage was catastrophic. Hunter’s right knee was bent 90 degrees in the opposite direction, his right foot was extremely deformed, muscles from the knee to the foot had wasted away leaving only skin and bone, both lower legs were purple, and he had open sores all over his body. On the evening of June 29, 2026 Mesa police responded to a welfare check call at the home reporting that Hunter had been in the bathtub for seven weeks and was covered in feces. Officers were immediately hit with a strong, pungent odor that smelled like rotting meat and feces. Hunter Shimkus was rushed to the hospital for treatment of his severe injuries and emaciation. His current condition is unknown. Melvin Shimkus was arrested and booked into Maricopa County Jail on one count of vulnerable adult abuse. He is being held on a $12,000 bond.

🚨 A Minnesota teacher and cross country coach has been arrested for sending naked photos of himself to a student on Snapchat. Sutton Thomas Junkermeier, 26, sent explicit photos and messages to a student at Atwater Cosmos Grove City School, including “We best not tell anyone about this.” and “I know last night got a little crazy but let’s keep this between us.” He was arrested at his home and has been placed on leave by the school. This is the kind of trusted adult who abuses their position of power over students and then tries to keep it secret. How does this not make you angry?
