Cannot delete parent object in GORM

Sometimes, when trying to delete parent object in GORM, even when there is children cascade:'all-delete-orphan' there is exception:

com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException: Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails (`db`.`domain`, CONSTRAINT `FKB8FB823DBF953235` FOREIGN KEY (`domain_id`) REFERENCES `user` (`id`))

It is possible to solve this issue, by explicitly clearing all children from parent object before delete.

    domain.children.clear()

After that it successfully deletes domain object.
