They already stand condemned. Having a youth leader separate some young people from them isn't wrong.

Then I guess Jesus would be in big, big trouble, because he sat and ate with tax collectors and other notorious sinners. (
Mark 2:15-17,
Matthew 9:10-12,
Luke 5:29-31)
Quote:
15 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

That Jesus! He really offended the Pharisees!
