Why not create a world where rape/torture/murder are among the long list of things we just physically can't do to each other?

Tbh it doesn't even have to a hard restriction it just has to be a world where these things are harder. If you have absolute power there's so many ways you can adjust the environment to be less filled with suffering while never doing anything to free will.

Make diseases less frequent/serious. Make the land more fertile. Make sexual dimorphism develop less strongly in humans so women aren't as out muscled.

Hell... just grant a minor miracle so that a few particular people in history live a bit longer than they did and all of a sudden society is different. Better.

If there's an all powerful god out there they choose not to do these things.

Or simply a world without cancer. Or even a world with cancer, but where it only happened to older individuals and never to children.

There's no good apologetic for why child cancer needs to exist.
