2 related models in 1 form but validation is working for only 1 model

Hi,

I'm having 2 related models in 1 form (add.ctp) but validation is
working only for 1 model. ie. validation is working fine for Student
model but not MerryParent model.

Can anyone tell me on what i'm doing wrong? thank you.

relationships:
Student hasOne MerryParent
MerryParent hasMany Student

student.php
<?php
class Student extends AppModel{
var $name='Student';
var $hasOne=array(
'MerryParent' => array(
'className' => 'MerryParent',
'foreignKey'=>'student_id',
'dependent' => true)
);
var $belongsTo='MerryClass';

var $validate=array(
'name'=>array('rule'=>array('minLength',1),'message'=>'Name is
required!'),
'dob'=>array('rule'=>'notEmpty','message'=>'Date of Birth is
required!'),
'class_id'=>array('rule'=>'notEmpty', 'message'=>'Which class are

students_controller.php
<?php
class StudentsController extends AppController{

function add(){
if (!empty($this->data)){
var_dump($this->data);
die(debug($this->Student->validationErrors));
if ($this->Student->saveAll($this->data))
{
$this->Session->setFlash('Your child\'s admission has been
received. We will send you an email shortly.');
$this->redirect(array('controller'=>'pages', 'action'=>'home'));

}

/* else
{ //die(debug($this->Student->validationErrors));

$this->Session->setFlash('Your child\'s admission failed to
save.');
