That's a misunderstanding - the parent domain's DCs (or DC in any other domain) will only know parts of the attributes of the other domains in a forest. These are stored in the Global Catalog (stores a "partial attribute set"). This is good to query for data in AD, but not for logon. The PW of a user and other things (like Domain Local Group memberships) are only stored on the DC of the domain a user belongs to - thus at least one DC of the domain where you want to logon needs to be available.
