More details to this question:
A friend stayed with me at my grandmother's house where I live for almost two months with her two kids. I babysat her kids for her and she never had to pay rent. She left a laundry basket of her and her kid's clothes and hasn't gotten them in over 5 months. Now she wants them back when I already took them to the goodwill drop box. She never came to get them when I told her to come on a weekend to pick them up. Am I in the wrong?

I suspect there may be a question, but it would appear that if you gave her notice to come pick them up and she did not do so they would be considered, in court, to be abandoned. Engage an attorney if he brings an action against you.

Normally it is 90 days, however, you need to give written notice of your intent to the other party.
