This can be simplified to

    return (obj.hasOwnProperty("childArray")
            && obj.childArray.indexOf(5) > -1);

or

    return (obj.childArray && obj.childArray.indexOf(5) > -1);

if it does not matter that the “childArray” property is inherited.
(But it is assumed here that it holds a reference to an Array instance,
and that the Array.prototype.indexOf() method of ES 5+ is implemented.)
