What is the punishment for a heinous crime to a child?
"Heinous" is a descriptive term but not a legal term. The punishment could be anything from imprisonment to the death penalty or something much less serious depending on the law in the place where the crime was commited. Crimes are classified as "misdemeanors" or "felonies" and can have different classes within the criminal code for that crime. For example, we're all familiar with murder 1, 2, and 3 or murder in the first, second and third degree. Similarly there can be "aggravated" crimes or "hate" crimes which are special classifications which allow for greater punishment for crimes commited in a way that makes them "worse" in the eyes of the law. For example murdering a black man for racist reasons might be considered worse than murdering him out of pure revenge not because he is more dead but because the crime exacerbates racism and the division of races and is therefore causing greater harm to the community. Judges have some discretion in what sentence they give. For example the law might say "10-15 years" and the judge could sentence 10 years or more up to 15. For an idea of how the "heinous" crime you are thinking of could be punished, search for state criminal codes or contact a lawyer or district attorney.

What does it mean when a criminal case has been dismissed?
It means that the judge dismissed your charges. The prosecution will dismiss the charges when they cannot proceed in good faith or they cannot prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt at trial. Usually because there was a problem with a piece of evidence or the availability of a witness. Sometimes cases are dismissed during plea negotiations when a person will plead to one case in exchange for the dismissal of another. Sometimes the evidence unfolds and there is doubt that the person charged is really the one that committed the crime. Be carefeul, just because the judge dismissed your case doesn't mean they can't re-file charges against you, but that rarely happens.

What is the statute of limitations for domestic abuse?
I'm assuming you mean for criminal charges. In that case, "spousal abuse" does not apply because there is no such criminal charge in New York. Rather, if your spouse hit you or threatened you, the crime of assault is applicable, regardless of how the perpetrator is related to you. Assault breaks down into 3 categories: Assault in the 1st Degree; Assault in the 2nd Degree; Assault in the 3rd degree. Assault in the 1st degree is a Class B felony and the statute of limitations for bringing criminal charges is 5 years under the NY Criminal Procedure Law, Section 30.10. Assault in the 2nd Degree is a Class D felony and the statute of limitations for criminal charges is 5 years under the NY Criminal Procedure Law, Section 30.10. Assault in the 3rd Degree is a Class A misdemeanor and the statute of limitations for bringing criminal charges is 2 years under the NY Criminal Procedure Law, Section 30.10. As far as what constitutes the three different degrees of assault in NY (1st degree: NY Penal Code, Section 120.10; 2nd Degree: NY Penal Code, Section 120.05; 3rd degree: NY Penal Code, Section 120.00), it's very complicated and there are a lot of criteria involved. I could reprint the text of the relevant laws here, but it'll go on forever and just look like a bunch of gobledy-goonk. Therefore, if the offense against you occurred within the last 5 years, I suggest you contact the police and tell them exactly what happened so that they may make a determination as to what degree of assault you're talking about here and respond accordingly.
