Obviously the existence of these pedo glasses is problematic to say the least, but aren't they also super expensive? How the hell are kids able to afford these?

In Australian dollarydoos they start from $469. What teenager is spending $469 on anything?

Same way I spent $350 on a new iPod in high school back in the 2000s. Worked a part time job after school and on weekends.

No rent or bills makes it easy.

Couple of weeks of delivering pizza or Uber Eats after school and a teen can afford them.

Today is the first day for our school district. It's weird to start on a Thursday, but at least the kids get a quick first weekend.

I took note of this story because now is exactly the time of year I would expect to see these stories. There have been months of summer vacation in which some number of these perv glasses will make their way into the hands of minors. So we get a spike early in the school year.
