Florida was the last state I thought I would ever see something like that.

No kidding!
That was a pleasant surprise!

well the judge received a reprimand...but did not go to jail nor received a reduction in pay or removed from the bench as far as I can see.

So while it is positive outcome- at least they are doing something...the lady she belittled DID in fact go to jail and there was not much information about how the judge may very well have damaged her life by making her spend 3 days in jail with a young child to take care of.

Is there recourse to sue the court? Did she lose her child? What happened with the domestic abuse thingy in the end etc?

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/breaking-news/os-judge-jerri-collins-scolded-by-florida-supreme-court-20160826-story.html They report that she had every right to put that woman in jail, but the issue was with 'being mean', not the actual jailing.

So are the people reading the articles thinking that the judge was reprimanded for putting the women in jail? Or being mean? I think most people think it was wrong to put her in jail in the first place - but apparently that part was in fact OK. The judge was just expected to do it with a please and thank you.
