Uh... How old is this brat? I know some young kids act stupid and don't quite know the damage that can be done with certain actions (not that it's in any way excusable) but an older kid is probably a little bit... Not right in the head if they're going to intentionally hurt animals for no other reason than they're "annoying" (though I have guinneas, LOUD little suckers lol.) Either way, I'd go have a little chat with his parents, they need to know about that (if they even care.) In the meantime, keep all animals locked and get a game camera (hidden) so you can catch the little butthead on "film" if he does that or worse again.
To answer your question after my little rant, she's probably just in hiding; it's not hard to traumatize a guinea apparently, heck, I ran across the yard one time to herd the sheep away from the feed barn door which had blown open, I had my entire flock of guineas screaming and flying at my head for no reason, literally lol. I didn't see them for several days after that (apparently I scared them a little bit) but they all came back. Why running me would scare them, I don't know, but they're pretty wild little critters, she'll probably be back. As long as an owl doesn't get her, that's a huge problem most places.
