A young pilot may actually do all of the flying, but the safety pilot is prepared to take control at any moment. Never heard the term 'safety pilot'.

Never heard the term 'safety pilot'. Kind of a euphemism...but certainly not a rating!!...:o)

“Safety pilot” was a term used by the reporter. To avoid confusing people, I copied the usage. In this context, the child would have been flying with a CFI (Certified Flight Instructor).
