I'd try to find something in the story that would indicate that the boy was not from X country.
If that doesn't work, you could point out that many small children steal things because they don't know any better.
It's not a good practice to come out and tell a child that her father is wrong.

Thanks Ms. Sue
Do you think that this is appropriate?
Maybe some of the people in country X do steal, but we cant judge the boy because we don't know where he is from?
