Halloween is Wednesday and kids will be ringing bells throughout the neighborhood asking for candy. But could one of those bells be to the home of a sex offender?

Cumming Patch checked with the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office website and we found 62 registered sex offenders with a Cumming address in Forsyth County. In addition, three have Dawsonville addresses, three have Alpharetta addresses, three have Suwanee addresses and 16 have Gainesville addresses.

While 17 of them are listed as being incarcerated, many still live in neighborhoods where children will be trick-or-treating.
