one of those victims. savannah's parents knew the monitor had to be placed out of her reach, but they weren't prepared for the day she learned to pull herself up in her crib. now her parents are warning others. >> she was in her crib, and somehow the accident happened. she reached a milestone in her life, apparently, where she suddenly learned how to stand. and that was the end of her life. >> that's why the federal government is urging parents to keep all video and audio monitors out of children's reach or potential reach. the men rescues from that mine in chile are enjoying their first weekend home in a long time, at least most of them. two decided to travel back to the site to see where their families had camped while they were trapped 2,000 feet below the surface. a small group of miners held a news conference. they're saving details of their ordeal until perhaps a book. others have more basic things to worry about. some are having problems sleeping, or waking up confused
