I'm not sure how these particular devices work, "microwave" is anything from a meter to a millimeter which is a pretty broad range (300 MHz to 300 GHz.) Certainly some lengths of microwaves go through glass though, otherwise microwave ovens wouldn't have that metal mesh behind the glass window. Also I know that microwave ovens normally don't heat glass, which suggests to me they're either very reflective or very transparent to microwaves in the low GHz range. I've cooked enough food in glassware to think it must be the later. (Interestingly if you heat a small portion of glass to red hot with a torch before microwaving it, you can melt the entire piece of glass as the oven heats and spreads the hot spot.)

So these operate around 95ghz, roughly, from what I can gather. Sure you’ll get some window penetration but I still take issue with the “but the kids” tone of the OPs argument. I don’t agree with use of these weapons, having been on the receiving end of RF burns accidentally myself, but pretending it’s because you care about kids is sick and seems to be a default go-to for most things. If I’m not being charitable in my interpretation of OP, then roast me, but I get the feeling the sentiment isn’t particular about caring for kids and using it as a “but... but... but...” argument.
