The Manual says: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/innodb-restrictions.html

Currently, cascaded foreign key actions do not activate triggers.

Any Idea when will this be implemented.

Is there a work around for this?

Not to start a flamewar, but this does work in PostgreSQL for years. When using innoDB, it should be relative simple to move to PostgreSQL.
