'parent overlaps child's box-shadow

I have 2 divs a parent and a child they both have fixed width and the child has fixed height too, child div is floated left and it has box-shadow:0 1px 2px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.4) the problem is that the parent div overlaps the child's left shadow.

I can't add margin-left to the child because its left side is aligned with the left side of a menu div above the parent div so it has to be exactly where it is.

I tried z-index, minus margin for the parent and so many other things I can't even count but nothing seems to solve the problem. the code is:

#menu {
  width: 100%;
  height: 50px;
  background: #252525;
  margin: 0 auto 20px auto;
}

#wrapper {
  background: #CCC;
  width: 1195px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  clear: both;
  overflow: auto;
  background: none;
  position: relative;
}

#wrapper {
  overflow: hidden;
}

#db_left,
#db_right,
#db_center {
  margin-right: 30px;
  float: left;
}

#db_left {
  width: 170px;
  position: relative;
}

#db_right {
  margin-right: 0 !important;
  width: 315px;
}

#db_center {
  width: 650px;
  margin-top: 20px !important;
}

#profpic_holder {
  width: 150px;
  height: 150px;
  padding: 10px;
  position: relative;
  float: left;
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
  box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
}

The way you have it 

 -webkit-box-shadow:0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
 box-shadow:0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);

won't have a left shadow. If you want a shadow to show up on all sides use this

 -webkit-box-shadow:0 0 2px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
 box-shadow:0 0 2px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);

I hope this helps.
