While I have my doubts about everything being recorded, I know they do so with privates and trueprivates. Recording all the cam streams going would take an INSANE amount of logistics, power and support staff. Raw video data takes up a lot of disk space, so considering that there are over 1100 models broadcasting right now on MFC, it would require quite the server farm in addition to their setup that already enables the simultaneous streaming.
That's not to say that MFC doesn't record it, but they certainly don't keep it very long (I can see them keeping video around for a 24-hour period in case there are disputes to settle between a model and a member) and the most certainly don't share it with the rest of th world.
Unfortunately if she's worried that she'll be recorded and found out by family members/friends, there is no way that she can be 100% sure that it won't happen. People can use a variety of tools to record shows and once they do, there's always a chance that they'll upload it to a few sites, other sites will rp the video from those sites, etc. Of course, the smaller her audience is, the smaller the chances are of her being capped and distributed far and wide in this manner.
A camgirl friend of mine asked me to look into ways to try and prevent her shows getting capped and uploaded roughly a year ago. What I found was a big pile of nothing. Just about the only hope you have is to appeal to the conscience of the guy who capped the show, and, well, most of the guys doing this feel that all entertainment should be gotten for free. Simply put, there is nothing you can do on your end to prevent them from recording. While sometimes the video stream itself is encrypted, that still won't stop screen recording software. And even if you somehow sto that, you can bet your ass they will just point a camera at their screen and record it that way.
In spite of our best efforts (no, really, she knew a board was after her and these guys were dumb enough to announce their every move on a thread we could anonymously watch) they STILL managed to get a recording out there a day or two before the forum got shut down for something unrelated that should have landed the lot of them in jail. The ugly truth is that there are just a few people out there who live on their very own plane of reality, where they should get everything they want righ now for free. If that notion is challenged, they will not rest until the thing preventing them (in this case the camgirl and her first mod) is in ashes. They can and will get th eir hands on a recording and upload it everywhere, check to see if it gets taken down and then just reupload until people stop bothering to report the files. Out of nothing but spite for the girl who DARED ask them for 5 bucks so they could get into the "getting rid of the lingerie" part of the show. Funnily enough, though, it seems that in their zeal to get these recordings, it never occurred to any of them to just cough up the cash and get in.
What I'm trying to get at here, is that the only 100% sure way to prevent her friends/family to find out about her camming, is to stop camming. I'll say that the risk of her getting discovered is very small, because a lot of things still need to line up before someone she knows stumbles on a video of her on redtube, let alone for him to also recognize her, but the risk is always there.
And finally, I'll just point to the bolded bit in Gemma's post:

Firstly, if she feels suicidal, then she needs to seek IMMEDIATE help. Suicide hotlines, ER, or a local mental health clinic are all good ways to get the help she needs to ensure that she lives a long, happy life. And as her friend, you should ensure that you make sure she gets that help! Please, please, PLEASE make sure that she gets help.
