Dad MICHAEL MCPHERSON has been charged with 1st-degree assault against his 22-month-old son. The boy has severe head injuries and is in critical condition. This daddy seems to be a two-time loser: notice that he was convicted of child endangering back in 2004 and served 3 years in prison. Too bad this guy was ever allowed around anybody under 21 again.
