A 12-year-old boy in Taiwan accidentally ripped a hole into a 350-year-old painting by Baroque artist Paolo Porpora that's worth over $1.5 million, according to the exhibition's organizers showcasing the painting. The boy was caught on security footage this past Sunday at "The Face of Leonardo, Images of a Genius" exhibition in Taipei, according to the exhibition's Facebook page.

The video shows the 12-year-old tripping over a rope barrier and trying to catch his balance on the 17th-century oil painting titled "Flowers." He accidentally punches a hole the size of a fist into the painting and looks around, apparently in shock, when he gets up.

The painting, 6.5 feet tall, was being restored on Monday by a Taiwanese art restorer before it was shipped back to Italy, according to Sun Chi-hsuan, the head of exhibition co-organizer TST Art of Discovery Co., Taiwanese news network Central News Agency (CNA) reported.

The exhibition was also temporarily closed Monday morning but reopened in the afternoon, during which an 80-centimeter distance was maintained between each painting and visitors, Sun said.

The boy who accidentally damaged the painting was very nervous, but curator Andrea Rossi asked that the boy not be blamed and that the family not be asked to pay for the cost of the restoration, CNA reported. The station added that an insurance company would cover restoration costs and compensate the owner of the painting.

From a female LIB reader

I and my fiance have been together for almost three years. I love him so much and I believe he loves me too. I'm just worried about something if we get married. I'm a winner (living faith church) and you know we have our blessed mantle, anointing oil, feet washing service and all of that. He on the other hand has never been a fan of winners. Now he's saying anointing oil and mantle will never be allowed in his house. He's reason is actually very clear... "Anything else apart from the name of Jesus is not allowed".

Awww, how sweet! Very creative way to propose!

Joseph Wanjau, the Founder of Hope Foundation, was arrested by police crack squad on Thursday, 20 August at the ABC Place in Nairobi, Kenya. Mr Wanjau initiated a funds drive on social media to raise the money by posing with Fidelis Muthoni who is suffering from a life-threatening frontal bone defect known as Frontal Encephalocele.

According to Nation FM, the baby had been booked for surgery in Canada but the family lacked funds. Her family said a team of doctors from Canada had offered to treat her for free if they paid for her flight and six-month stay. It was then Mr Wanjau, a close relative of the family, volunteered to conduct the funds drive, but the money was withdrawn without their knowledge and the ailing baby was never treated.

"This case is a clear indication that cybercrime has gone a notch higher and some people no longer have a sense of humanity. There are many foundations conning people online and we were tirelessly working to crackdown on them. Kenyans be warned."

"The paybill account number transcripts that we got from Safaricom indicated that Sh2.8 million had been deposited into the account and later withdrawn,” Muthoni’s father Kenneth Kinuthia revealed.

He further revealed that he had also given Mr Wanjau Sh155, 000 from a church fundraiser to deposit into the medical funds account."

The Director of Digital Communication at the Office of The President, Dennis Itumbi who was largely involved in the funds drive campaign on Thursday said the incident shows humanity had deserted the human race.

"I have had a skin problem since I was 16. Started in 2010. It has ruined my teenage life & self esteem. Growing up where you cant take your clothes off or where people avoid you has really affected me negatively. I've been to one dermatologist in Abuja which I could afford yet it didn't help. Please is there anyone that knows any solution or probably a good dermatologist? I cant afford any for now but hopefully I'll be glad knowing there's a cure out there for me."
